"You see, how strong his breathing is, and now the kicking movement is very smooth..." On the afternoon of February 25, in the neonatology department of the Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital, as usual, more than 10 premature babies lay quietly on the folded nest-like quilts. Some of them fall asleep sweetly, some occasionally open their eyes to look at the world, some kick their legs or gently wave their arms... The skinny body rises and falls regularly as a result of breathing.
Li Yu (pseudonym), who is across the wall, took the mobile phone to look at and looked at it, and the mobile phone screen recorded the moment of her child's activities, which is the most precious treasure in the world for her.
Small life that weighs only 1315 grams at birth.
Li Yu's baby was born on February 16, weighing only 1315 grams at birth, and was a premature baby treated by the hospital. Babies are born with mild suffocation. With the efforts of provincial medical staff, it is now supervised and treated in the neonatology department.
"With a little delay, the child may be..." Recalling the thrilling treatment process of maternal cord prolapse on the same day, Hou Ting, chief resident physician of obstetrics, was full of emotion.
According to Hou Ting's description, Li Yu was a pregnant woman who had been out of menstruation for 30 weeks, and was urgently transferred to the obstetrics department because of abdominal pain for more than 8 hours when treatment in the local hospital was ineffective. In the process of Li Yu's admission to the hospital, the fetal membrane rupture suddenly occurred, and a cord-like substance came out of the vagina.
Doctor Yang Nian held up the bond of life with his hand.
"Considering the prolapse of the umbilical cord, my colleague Yang Nian immediately pushed the fetus into the exposed part of the pelvis (that is, the site exposed first in childbirth) with his hand, and gently lifted the umbilical cord back to the uterine cavity." Hou Ting said that because Li Yu's condition was urgent and critical, with a slight delay, the fetus would die in the womb, so Yang Nian kept this position until he escorted Li Yu to the operating room.
At that time, Hou Tinggang and her colleague Pan Ye ended a rescue operation for a pregnant woman with severe pulmonary hypertension who was in critical condition in the whole hospital, and immediately joined the rescue of Li Yu's mother and child when they saw this scene.
Hou Ting said that because the umbilical cord is the life bond between mother and child, when the umbilical cord is compressed to block the blood flow, it can cause fetal hypoxia and even endanger the life of the fetus. If the umbilical cord blood circulation is blocked for more than 8 minutes, it can cause intrauterine fetal death.
On the same day, the provincial doctor opened a green channel for Li Yu and the child and contacted the operating room, under the joint cooperation of the anesthesiology department, neonatology department and obstetrics department, the fetus was successfully delivered by caesarean section, and after active rescue, the small life was transferred to the neonatal department for monitoring and treatment accompanied by medical staff.
"Every life deserves respect, and life itself is a miracle." Hou Ting said that this is also the biggest inspiration for her obstetric work. She believes that for these ultra-premature babies, it is more necessary to love and professionalism to care for the miracle of life.
