"I think that's what a health care worker should do, whether it's me or anybody else, as a health care worker, will stand up, because our responsibility is to save lives." I can use the medical knowledge I have learned to help others, and the mother and child are safe, and I am very happy to help them. Liu Yuan, a nurse from the Hepatobiliary Surgery Ward of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, said.

On February 14, Flight HU73033 took off from Sanya to Chengdu. About 40 minutes after takeoff, a female passenger on the plane suddenly ruptured amniotic fluid and faced premature birth. The crew immediately asked via radio whether there were any medical personnel on the plane. Liu Yuan, a nurse, heard the broadcast and went to check it out. Liu Yuan found that it was a young pregnant woman, and her expression was very painful at that time, and she moaned loudly. Liu Yuan immediately asked the pregnant woman to lie down to avoid more loss of amniotic fluid.
After asking Liu Yuan, she learned that the pregnant woman was 32 weeks pregnant at the time and had had a previous experience in childbirth. Subsequently, the crew provided Liu Yuan with sterile gloves and built a temporary delivery room with blankets and scarves on the plane to protect the privacy of pregnant women.

"At that time, I checked the uterine opening of the pregnant woman, and the uterine opening was almost completely open, and the head of the fetus could already be touched. In this case, if the fetus is not delivered in time, it will pose a great danger to the pregnant woman and the fetus. Liu Yuan said that she was a medical worker, also had a labor experience, learned a lot of relevant production knowledge, out of the urgency of the situation at that time, she decided to immediately deliver the pregnant woman.
After preparing for delivery, Liu Yuan assisted the pregnant woman in posing, asking her to adjust her breathing, helping her massage, and reducing pain. After about twenty minutes, the child was born! Subsequently, Liu Yuan cleaned the amniotic fluid for the baby, patted it, and the baby cried, which shows that the baby can breathe on its own and be born safely. Because there was no sharp weapon on the plane, Liu Yuan immediately used the umbilical cord clip in the first aid kit to close the umbilical cord and wait for follow-up treatment after getting off the plane. At this time, Liu Yuan found that the maternal placenta had not yet come out, so she began to press the uterus again, and after a while the placenta was successfully delivered, and the mother did not bleed heavily, so Liu Yuan was relieved. After the emergency landing, ground rescue workers cut the umbilical cord and took the mother and son to the hospital for observation, and the pregnant woman and the mother were safe.
"These are all very fortunate. I am also glad that I am a medical student and can help at this time, which is also my own duty as a medical worker. Afterwards, Liu Yuan said that the situation was urgent at that time, and the plane also returned to the plane, but no one on the plane complained, at the moment of the birth of the child, there was applause in the cabin, and many passengers sent blessings to the mother and daughter, and these details also made Liu Yuan feel warm in her heart.
