68. Metamorphosis - Variation(2/2)
The placenta needs to be removed first.”
"Mr. Carvey just said that placenta removal helps the uterus contract."
"Of course I know! I have been admiring this operation carefully and I must have written this sentence down. But I want to ask why? Why must the placenta be removed first? From the perspective of the operation process, this step seems to be very important.
....”
Once someone speaks first, questions will come flooding in.
Kawei has been introducing the surgical procedures and directing the team to stop bleeding. This time he was careless and used the theater as a teaching operating room without making any distinction in time.
He faced those people's questions and used gauze strips to fill the uterine wound after the placenta was peeled off. He could only make a false shot: "The operation is not over yet. If you have any questions, please discuss it with me after the operation is over.
"
This can be regarded as delaying time, but there are also 70% truth in it.
The process of helping Nora deliver the baby and the placenta was very successful, but her uterus was not contracting well. With the joint efforts of seven crow's-beak forceps, the uterus was still bleeding slowly and could not be stopped at all.
Kawei had to prepare for the worst: "Nurse, how is she doing?"
"My heart rate is a little fast."
"I know it's urgent, I want specific numbers!"
"Probably around 125-130."
"Is the heartbeat weak?"
The nurse was a little nervous. Looking at Kawei's face, she nodded repeatedly in fear: "It is indeed lighter than before."
A faster and lighter heartbeat is a sign of insufficient blood volume. The bleeding must be stopped immediately. Nora will definitely die if the bleeding does not stop.【5】
Kawei had no choice but to call Herman: "Get the syringe ready, it's in the drawer of Teacher Ignatz's box. Hills, continue to squeeze the uterus hard to help it contract."
"good."
"knew."
After saying that, he picked up the test tube rack that Herman had placed on the ground just now. There were two tubes of transparent solution on the rack, which were the oxytocin that Cavett had left for Nora to save her life.
It's just that these oxytocins were mixed with vasopressin, which was difficult to separate in the 19th century and was considered a semi-finished product. Moreover, his experiment had just started. He only knew that the reagents must be effective, but he did not know the concentration and safe dose. Now the situation is critical, and he can only
Let's make a bet and get into her womb together.
"The needle is here."
Kawei unscrewed the plug of the test tube, took the syringe, filled it with oxytocin, and injected it directly into Nola's uterus. But this was not the end. In the next two minutes, Kawei gave her another injection.
Four stitches were taken.【5】
It took five injections, almost emptying Kawei's reagent tube, but the result was still good, Nola's uterus began to contract.
"Kavi, I can feel my uterus moving!"
The contraction drives the entire uterus, and the incision that was opened earlier also begins to shrink and compress the blood vessels in it. This natural method of stopping bleeding is much more effective than crow's beak forceps.
