Great Medical System in a Veterinarian

Chapter 885: Chapter 337: Proactive Treatment Mission, Ultrasound Director Explodes, Obstetrics Director Suffocates!!

The intern was a girl with quite large eyes, and at this moment, she was speaking to Mu Xiaoxiu.

Now many hospitals require pregnant women to register, which makes management and follow-up more convenient.

But in Meibu County, or accurately speaking, in many impoverished areas, there are still many pregnant women who do not have the concept of registration.

They feel that even without registration, they have still managed to give birth in the past.

Now hospitals are setting up so many registrations and then asking you to undergo various examinations, all in the name of your well-being but actually just to drain your money.

Regarding this kind of thinking, many medical staff feel quite helpless.

The main goal is for the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus.

Prenatal check-ups are indeed very necessary.

In the past, there were no prenatal check-ups, and many people indeed gave birth without issues.

But there were also quite a number of problematic children, and the ratio was quite high.

If there were prenatal check-ups,

then problematic children could be intervened with. If the intervention is futile, it would encourage induction, which neither harms the child nor puts a heavy burden on the mother’s family.

Under such a scientific prenatal check-up method,

overall, things are much better than before by an unknown number of times.

But this can’t be enforced, it’s still up to them to decide.

"Sigh, doctor, you people drawing salaries have no idea about our hardship. We really don’t have the extra money to come to the hospital for checks every day."

Mu Xiaoxiu lay on the bed, enduring the pain, and sighed.

"I see this is your first pregnancy, right? It’s already six months, and you haven’t gone to the hospital for a check-up even once? This is being irresponsible to yourself! Do you know that?"

Just after signing, a female doctor with the name tag of Attending Physician in the Ultrasound Department, Mo Yan, came over and said sternly.

Prenatal check-ups are a responsibility to the fetus, but even more to oneself.

Is money more important than life?

As long as you work normally, and this being your first child, save just a little, how is it that you have no money for prenatal care?

In the end, it’s just the so-called experiences of the predecessors at play!

"Doctor, but my sister-in-law didn’t come for check-ups last time she gave birth either, and she was fine."

Mu Xiaoxiu was trying to defend herself at this moment.

Mo Yan said nothing, and went straight to the examination.

After all, she was just doing her duty to remind, but if the other party really doesn’t listen, she can’t do anything.

"Huh, the child is growing well, and the amniotic fluid is quite adequate too."

The intern observed the screen and then spoke.

"Isn’t it? This little one was very active before, thumping around in my belly every day. I don’t know what happened recently that it suddenly stopped moving, making me so uncomfortable. I figured I haven’t eaten anything unusual, it can’t possibly be because of that one hotpot meal, right?"

Hearing the female intern say that the amniotic fluid was abundant and the child was growing well, Mu Xiaoxiu revealed a very joyful smile.

The whole family is looking forward to this child, and even the child’s father has prepared clothes.

This is also her first child, and as a first-time mom, her mood is really particularly excited.

It’s just that these days she doesn’t know what’s up with the little one.

Could it be that the craving for hotpot previously caused some impact?

"Hotpot? That shouldn’t be possible..."

The intern said.

Many places say pregnant women shouldn’t eat spicy food, and hotpot is out of the question, but pregnant women in Sichuan are quite bold.

Eating hotpot during pregnancy is quite normal.

She has even seen women have BBQ and hotpot during their confinement period.

Of course, she personally doesn’t recommend it.

After all, a lighter diet is generally better.

But to say it makes the fetus inactive or the pregnant woman this uncomfortable, that’s indeed rare.

However, both of them didn’t notice, at this moment during the check-up, Mo Yan’s brows were tightly furrowed.

"Teacher Mo, what’s wrong? Is there any abnormality with this patient?"

The ultrasound room typically has a relaxed atmosphere, and while chatting, the intern quickly noticed that her supervising teacher seemed a bit off.

"Did you see that, the SD value is so high, and the umbilical cord twist is close to the critical value with a twist!"

Mo Yan spoke with a very serious expression.

The SD value generally refers to the umbilical artery SD value, also known as the peak-to-trough ratio of umbilical artery blood flow velocity.

It refers to the ratio of the maximum blood flow velocity (S) in the umbilical artery during systole to the blood flow velocity at the end of diastole (D).

The S/D ratio of the umbilical artery is one of the indicators of the color Doppler ultrasound of the umbilical artery, often used to monitor the fetal condition during pregnancy.

An abnormal increase in this indicator suggests fetal distress, fetal abnormalities, umbilical cord entanglement, fetal growth restriction, etc.

Given the current situation, the pregnant woman might have an umbilical cord torsion, and the situation is extremely critical.

She immediately conducted an umbilical cord spiral morphology assessment.

"What’s wrong with me? What are SD value and torsion situation?"

Mu Xiaoxiu listened to the doctor’s words with some confusion and immediately inquired.

"It’s a very serious situation that pregnant women can encounter, simply put, it’s like the baby in the belly is constantly spinning, tightening the umbilical cord, causing hypoxia, poor development, or even death."

The intern girl also spoke with a heavy tone.

"Ah! Am I in serious trouble now?!"

Mu Xiaoxiu was immediately frightened!

"The teacher is evaluating now, generally, it’s not a big deal, but if the torsion is severe, surgery might be necessary."

The intern girl replied.

"Gulp—"

Soon after the results came out, Mo Yan’s face turned pale.

"Fifty-two twists!!"

Oh my god!!

Mo Yan was stunned, the umbilical cord was twisted like a rope!!

This value is definitely a high-risk case, it’s almost strangling itself!!

"Snap—"

She rushed out directly.

Outside.

"Dr. Xiaochuan, wanna go for a walk? It would be nice to guide some work!"

The conversation was already over.

Mao Qin Qin enthusiastically invited.

"Dean Mao!!"

Yet, at this moment, a shout rang out.

"Ah? What’s up Xiao Yan?"

Just waiting for Zhang Lingchuan to answer, Mao Qin Qin looked with confusion at the deputy director of the ultrasound department.

In the county hospital, even an intermediate title in the ultrasound department can serve as the deputy director given the limited staff.

"It’s bad! A pregnant woman just came in with an umbilical cord twisted fifty-two times!!"

Mo Yan spoke in a flustered manner.

"Ah! Fifty-two twists! How many weeks??"

Hearing this, the smile on Mao Qin Qin’s face immediately disappeared, becoming extremely grim!

In the current environment, an umbilical cord twist can only be dealt with through two types of surgeries, cesarean section and pregnancy termination surgery.

And fifty-two twists require an immediate cesarean section!

The week of the fetus is the key to survival!

"Twenty-four weeks."

Mo Yan quickly answered.

"Only twenty-four weeks!"

Mao Qin Qin was gasping!!

A twenty-four-week fetus is only barely well-developed but very immature. If surgery is done to take it out at this time, the chances of survival are very low.

Meaning,

This child is basically sentenced to death!!
