Zheng Ren heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the newborn's loud cries.
He was lying on the ground. Not only was his field of vision limited, but he could also not see what Su Yun was doing.
If the child was fine, the "surgery" was more than half a success.
"The fetus is male and weighs 3,500 pounds? Around 10 g. Apgar score: 1 minute? Nine minutes, he estimated that he would arrive in five minutes? 10 points, "Su Yun said professionally from behind Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren hummed in agreement. Then, he began to explore the incision. Seeing that there were no signs of laceration, he took out the placenta that had been naturally peeled off and delivered. Then, he hesitated.
At this time, you should use oxytocin to make the blood vessels contract and heal naturally.
However, whether it was their team or the team from the military hospital that had arrived first, none of them had brought any oxytocin.
He definitely did not have enough medicine for the emergency treatment.
What should they do next?
Zheng Ren hesitated for a few seconds. Then, he picked up a portable hemostatic gauze and stuffed it into the wound where the placenta had been peeled off.
Because the pregnant woman gave birth prematurely after being frightened, to a certain extent, it was a kind of placental abruption.
If he was in the hospital, he could use interventional methods to stop the bleeding. He was very familiar with this kind of surgery.
However, in this place where there was a lack of doctors and medicine, Zheng Ren could only deal with it briefly and wait for the arrival of the rescue helicopter.
Not only did he not have an assistant, he could only handle it with one hand.
One hand was not enough. Zheng Ren could not even see the complete operative view.
He reluctantly sewed the hemostatic gauze over the wound. There was nothing else he could do.
"Little sister?" Zheng Ren said softly.
"Uncle … Is that my little brother?" The little girl curled up in a corner of the ruins and asked timidly.
"Yes, your brother is very brave. Can you be as brave as him?" Zheng Ren asked.
"Yes!" The little girl's voice was not loud, nor was it firm. However, it was enough for Zheng Ren.
"There's a pair of scissors here. Do you know what scissors are?"
"Uncle, I know. It's this." The little girl pointed at the blunt scissors on the sterile sheet.
"Okay, pick up the scissors gently. Be careful not to touch other things."
"Yes, that's it. You did very well, very well. "
After hearing his encouragement, the little girl seemed to have gained some courage and picked up the scissors.
"See this thread? Help me cut it," Zheng Ren said.
"Do you want to cut it here?" The little girl opened the scissors and pointed at it from afar.
"Uh …" If he were to cut it here, he would have to leave a very long thread. However, on second thought, it did not matter. After all, if the pregnant woman could survive to Huaxi, she would still need a second-stage surgery. If death was caused by septic shock, it did not matter how long the thread was.
"Yes, this is the place. You're really brave and smart," Zheng Ren comforted the little girl.
"My mother told me that I'm the smartest kid in class." The little girl fought against the fear in her heart and moved closer to Zheng Ren and the knot.
Scissors was shaking so violently that he could not bear to watch.
"Little girl, use both hands. Don't tremble too much. I know you're scared, but it's okay. I'm here, "Zheng Ren said.
The little girl obediently held the scissors with both hands. This time, it was better. The scissors were no longer trembling.
Zheng Ren heaved a sigh of relief when the knot was cut. There was no 1 # 0 non-invasive suture, only the simplest # 4 thread.
However, this was not a problem. Zheng Ren placed the needle holder on the sterile surgical drapes and threaded the # 4 thread into the eye of the needle with one hand. Then, he skillfully held it in the mouth of the needle holder and held it in his hand.
Full-layer continuous suture of the uterine incision and continuous suture of the bladder peritoneal fold. The little girl's cutting movements were also much more proficient.
It was just a habit to check if there was any active bleeding. Although it was not important in the current situation, Zheng Ren still did it subconsciously. He tried hard to find a trace of vision in the narrow gap and saw the corner of the incision.
The damage was very small. It would be fine as long as it was treated in the second stage.
He closed the abdomen layer by layer and continued to suture the abdominal incision with the # 4 thread. After the little girl cut the thread, Zheng Ren finally smiled.
"Little girl, you did very well," Zheng Ren praised.
"Yes!" The little girl answered, full of pride.
"Next, open this. There's tape around it. Stick the white part in the middle to your mother's incision, "Zheng Ren instructed.
The little girl became more and more confident and perfect. Although she was very small, under such circumstances, being small was an advantage.
She quickly followed Zheng Ren's instructions and covered the wound dressing on the incision. Zheng Ren touched her head and smiled. "That's great. Wait here for a while. The uncles will save you soon."
The little girl smiled innocently.
Zheng Ren retracted his hand. The venous flow was blocked, and the arteries on the back of his hand and arm bulged like a reptile. The back of his hand had already turned purplish-red. It was sore, numb, and painful. All kinds of feelings were present.
After moving his numb arm, Zheng Ren saw Su Yun holding the child and surrounded by a few tired figures.
In less than 24 hours, these people who had rushed into the disaster area had witnessed too many tragedies and human tragedies with their own eyes.
These were like layers of haze, shrouding everyone's hearts.
They were already numb from watching.
At the beginning, the corpses that were dug out from the ruins were carried to the ground by two people. Later, one person carried it alone.
There was no disrespect. It was just that everyone was numb.
Without supplies and waiting for rescue, every minute and second felt like a year.
The entire rescue team was silent until a tender, crisp cry rang out from the ruins.
"Find someone to take care of it. Don't be lazy with the child in your arms," Zheng Ren said directly.
"Hey, don't you think this is a new life? This is hope?" Su Yun asked.
"Yes, this is hope. Su Yun, if you hurry up, you might be able to save another person. "Zheng Ren began to search in the ruins, following the faint cries for help.
Su Yun handed the newborn to a female student from the military medical university next to him. He nagged at her and also began to search.
The search and rescue work was extremely difficult.
There were no tools and no large number of people.
The doctors, soldiers, and the young and strong survivors at the scene dug with their hands. Their fingers were dripping with blood, and some of them could already see the white bones.
After bandaging, the gauze was quickly exposed.
Flesh and gauze were mixed together, and the flesh was badly mutilated.
However, no one gave up. The search and rescue work was still going on with difficulty. Everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the other teams and the rescue helicopter.
At this time, only the arrival of the helicopter meant that the injured could be transported out of this land of death. It meant that new rescue and medical tools would be transported over.
However, when they raised their heads, they could see the clouds and fine rain in the sky.
Under such circumstances, could the rescue helicopter come?
Everyone's thoughts were negative, but no one said it.
As long as they existed, they could support people step by step.
