After encouraging the mother, Xie Wanying turned to classmate Geng and asked for help.
Geng Yongzhe, who had gone to the outside to avoid suspicion, came back immediately when he heard classmate Xie's voice.
The pregnant woman in extra bed No. 3 didn’t mind the presence of male medical students. Besides, who is stupid to mind these things at this life-saving moment?
"Let's help her change to a knee-chest position. I will hold her abdomen with both hands to guide her, and you will hold her shoulders in front to help her support her upper body." Xie Wanying and Geng discussed their cooperation plan.
The other nurses present listened to the two of them and lacked confidence in this. .
The knee-chest position is very helpful for turning the breech position into a lateral position. , the probability of success of this method itself is not 100%, and it must be maintained for a certain period of time. Nowadays, mothers are entering the second stage of labor. The increasingly severe uterine contraction pain will make it very difficult for the mother to hold this position for a long time, which will greatly reduce the effect.
It feels like there is little hope.
But in this situation, I can only try it first anyway. Several midwives and nurses came to help.
The boy had to put in a lot of effort at this time. Geng Yongzhe hugged the mother's shoulders and supported her upper body, which was the heaviest part. Some of the others raised their hands and some raised their legs. Working together, we finally helped the mother to change her position.
At this time, the contractions were so painful that No. 3's extra bed was so painful that tears streamed down her face. If it weren't for Dr. Xie encouraging her in her ears, she wouldn't be able to bear it for a moment.
"Soon, very soon, believe me, if you do dozens of times, you will be fine as soon as you count to ten." Xie Wanying said in the patient's ear.
This statement does a good job of diverting the patient's attention from the pain.
Extra bed No. 3 opened his mouth and started counting: "One, two, three, four——"
Dr. Peng, who had thrown away the husband of the woman in single bed No. 2, rushed to the door of the delivery room and saw this scene and asked hurriedly: "What should I say?"
"What she said was that she could change the position to turn the baby back." The old midwife told Dr. Peng what happened, and she felt that there was little hope.
"Is the fetal position incorrect?" Dr. Peng frowned, sternly.
"The fetus seems to be turning to the transverse position. I was afraid of having a cesarean section, so I asked you to come over." The old midwife whispered in Dr. Peng's ear, not to be heard by the mother for fear of causing a shock, "She has ruptured membranes. , there is not much amniotic fluid, so it is difficult to transfer the fetus outside the body."
"Yeah." Dr. Peng listened to the other party's suggestion while thinking about the situation in front of him. If it had been in the past, the old midwife would have been very experienced and her opinions could definitely be used as a reference. She would have thought the same way.
Today is different.
Dr. Peng looked at classmate Xie: Today this classmate has performed many miracles in their obstetrics department.
On the ECG monitor, today's maternal indicators are OK and there are no unhealthy symptoms.
The sound frequency of the fetal heart rate monitoring shows that the fetal heart rate has not dropped. The nurse brought over a bedside ultrasound machine, which can monitor the fetal position at the bedside at any time. The doctor said nothing and did not use ultrasound for the time being.
Has the baby moved?
I just heard the mother in bed No. 3 counting to six.
A group of people had earlier observed fetal heart rate values, but later realized that they were looking in the wrong direction.
"Oops, it's moving." The person who discovered it first pointed out.
It turned out that one of Xie Wanying's hands had been moving the monitoring probe on the mother's abdomen. The reason why the fetal heart rate did not change was because she accurately tracked the fetus' displacement, not because the fetus was not moving. In fact, the fetus was really moving on its own.
