Chapter 233 First Aid: The Birth of a New Life

Xia Yuhuan took the pregnant woman's pulse with one hand and examined other parts of her body with the other.

Check for any external injuries or similar problems.

Despite multitasking, she remained calm and quickly made a judgment.

"The pregnant woman is seriously injured and needs immediate surgery to deliver the baby and treat her at the same time, otherwise both she and her baby will die."

“Come on, help carry her into the tent.”

Xia Yuhuan called for soldiers to help.

The soldier asked her, "Will this posture have any effect?"

"No, let's take it inside the tent first and then deal with it."

After escorting the person to another tent that had already been prepared, Xia Yuhuan followed them inside.

She took off her raincoat at the door before going inside.

"Did anyone bring a gynecologist? Are there any doctors who can perform C-sections?"

Cesarean sections are not very common these days, and there aren't many doctors who can perform them. Moreover, their surgical skills are uncertain, which is why Xia Yuhuan asked that question.

"No, is this pregnant woman going to have a cesarean section? Why don't we talk to Dr. Zeng and see what to do?" The medical staff in the tent asked with a worried look.

"Never mind if you don't have one, I'll do it."

"Dr. Zeng is also performing an emergency surgery and can't spare the time," Xia Yuhuan explained, while disinfecting herself with alcohol.

She then changed into her surgical gown.

"The environment here is poor, and we can't achieve a sterile environment. Quickly disinfect the area around the operating table with alcohol, do as much as you can."

At this moment, a nurse was trying to help the pregnant woman stretch out her body.

But her body was already stiff from the cold, and she was determined to protect her child in this position, so she couldn't straighten out into a normal position for a while.

"Dr. Xia, what should we do if the pregnant woman refuses to cooperate?" the nurse asked anxiously.

Xia Yuhuan said, "I'll give it a try."

She leaned close to the pregnant woman's ear and whispered, "Hello, comrade, I am a doctor, and I am here to save you and your child."

"If you can hear me, please cooperate with us and relax your body, okay? I'll help you give birth to the baby."

"If the baby isn't born soon, it will be at risk of suffocation in the womb."

Whether or not Xia Yuhuan had taken her words to heart, when Xia Yuhuan tried to remove the pregnant woman's hands from her knees again, she encountered no further resistance.

The nurse standing nearby exclaimed happily, "It worked, Dr. Xia, it worked!"

"Quickly help her take off her clothes and clean off the water. We need to raise her body temperature as soon as possible," Xia Yuhuan said in a deep voice.

They are racing against time, fighting for their lives; there is no time to lose.

"Okay, right away," the nurse quickly replied.

The group removed the pregnant woman's soaking wet clothes, wiped the water off her body, and then used various methods to raise her body temperature.

After some effort, they finally managed to transfer her to the operating table.

The medical staff inside the tent were very nervous.

After all, Xia Yuhuan is not an obstetrician and gynecologist.

They didn't know if she could successfully deliver the baby via cesarean section.

But given the current situation and the limitations, only Xia Yuhuan can perform a cesarean section for her, so they have no choice but to try anything.

The surgery began quickly, and no one present had time to think about anything else; they were focused on following Xia Yuhuan's instructions.

They did whatever Xia Yuhuan told them to do.

Soon, Xia Yuhuan removed the baby from the pregnant woman's womb.

The baby was surrounded by amniotic fluid, its face was bluish-purple, and it looked as if it had stopped breathing.

Xia Yuhuan didn't give up. She took a clean towel and quickly wiped the amniotic fluid off the baby, then carefully listened to the baby's heartbeat.

She then began to administer emergency treatment.

Rhythmically and gently press on the heart area, and cover the child's mouth and nose with your mouth to give her air...

After her tireless efforts, she managed to resuscitate the baby for a full three minutes before finally hearing a faint cry.

"Mmm, wow..."

Upon hearing the faint sound of crying, everyone in the tent breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Yuhuan was the same way.

Her biggest fear was that the child wouldn't survive.

Judging from the pulse, the baby was not full-term and suffocated when it was delivered via cesarean section, which is indeed a very bad situation.

But right now, she can't delay any longer.

He then said, "I'm entrusting the child to you. Quickly find some clothes to wrap her up and keep her warm. The child was premature, so she absolutely cannot get cold."

"The mother's condition is not good, I have to perform a second operation on her immediately."

After giving her instructions, Xia Yuhuan returned to the woman in labor and continued performing the second surgery.

Her movements were swift; because she could see through objects, she acted without hesitation, displaying remarkable composure.

She didn't hesitate for a moment when performing actions and taking positions that seemed extremely dangerous to outsiders.

Those watching from the sidelines were terrified and extremely nervous.

Five hours later, Xia Yuhuan finally finished the surgery and saved the person from the brink of death.

She finished sewing the last stitch and let out a long sigh of relief.

"The surgery was successful. The rest is up to you," Xia Yuhuan said to the others in the tent.

"Dr. Xia, please rest aside. We'll take care of the rest," the group quickly said.

Two people came forward and helped Xia Yuhuan to sit down to the side.

Xia Yuhuan was indeed exhausted.

Although her physical condition had been improved by the spiritual spring water, it had become very good.

However, the two surgeries took too long, and she was under a lot of mental strain. She also had to use her X-ray vision, which greatly depleted her energy.

After all that, she felt a little weak.

The medical staff in the same tent had already come to regard Xia Yuhuan as an idol, admiring her to the point of worship, and treating her as a deity.

After settling Xia Yuhuan in, they began to handle the aftermath.

Just as we finished settling the new mother in, someone outside asked if there was an operating room available. A new patient requiring surgery had been brought in.

"It's okay, but Dr. Xia is too exhausted and can't continue the surgery right now. We'll have to find another surgeon."

“There’s a surgeon here, so we’ll come in.”

Soon, people outside carried the patient in. Xia Yuhuan looked up and saw that the doctor who came in was Zhou Shizui.

Zhou Shizui also saw Xia Yuhuan and nodded slightly to her.

The two sides then quickly handed over their respective tasks.

Xia Yuhuan had recovered by now and didn't stay to get in the way. Instead, she went to see the mother and daughter who had just been moved to another tent that served as a ward.

Due to limited resources, the mother and daughter were placed together.

The little one lay next to his mother, eyes closed, looking too quiet and motionless.

Xia Yuhuan was a little worried about her, so she checked the little one's physical condition.

The baby was premature and nearly suffocated, so his condition was very bad.

The conditions here are limited, and there are no special maintenance methods available.

Xia Yuhuan thought to herself that all she could do was try her best and leave the rest to fate.

Seeing that no one was inside, she quietly poured out some spiritual spring water and carefully moistened the little guy's lips with a cotton swab.

The little one seemed to sense something in its sleep, making smacking noises with its little mouth as if trying to lick all the spring water off its lips.
