This disease is dangerous and difficult to treat. It has been a major disaster for newborns since ancient times. From ancient times to the present, countless newborns have died from this disease.

Many people don’t understand umbilical wind or Panax notoginseng wind, but they know about tetanus.

Modern medicine defines tetanus as a specific infection in which Clostridium tetani invades the human body through skin or mucous membrane wounds, grows and multiplies in an oxygen-deficient environment, produces toxins, and causes muscle spasms.

Tetanus toxin mainly attacks the motor neurons in the nervous system, so the disease is characterized by clenched jaws, paroxysmal spasms, and tonic spasms. The main affected muscle groups include the masseter muscles, dorsal spinal muscles, abdominal muscles, and limb muscles.

The incubation period of tetanus is usually 7 to 8 days, of course, it can be 24 hours, several months or longer. The shorter the incubation period, the worse the prognosis.

This disease has high risks after infection, is difficult to treat, and has a poor prognosis, but the probability of tetanus infection is relatively low.

Generally, the probability of traumatic tetanus infection is lower. Neonatal tetanus is mostly caused by unclean instruments used to cut the umbilical cord at birth. However, major hospitals now pay great attention to this aspect.

Moreover, nowadays, children with tetanus are not born at home like before. Most of them are born in hospitals with specialized medical staff, so the tetanus infection rate is even lower.

Gao Baowen has been working in the emergency department for almost 30 years. Only in the first ten years or so did he encounter more newborns with umbilical cord wind, but in recent years he has rarely encountered such cases.

So when Gao Baowen suddenly heard that the patient had umbilical wind, he was a little surprised.

Doctor Sun hurriedly said, "The patient's home is quite far from the county town. The woman went into labor while walking in the village. There was no one around at the time. The child was already born when she was discovered. She was later found and sent to the town hospital, where she was given a tetanus vaccine..."

Gao Baowen didn't ask any more questions, but looked at the child.

Any virus, no matter how low the chance of infection is, has a chance of infection; no vaccine is 100% immune, no matter how low the probability is, it is possible for it to happen, and no one can say for sure about this.

At this moment, a female doctor and a female nurse are taking care of the sick baby. The baby is only one week old and is very thin, only slightly larger than an adult's palm.

Gao Baowen took the child from the female doctor, and Yun Heng and others were watching from the side.

The baby's face was pale blue, his lips were pale gray, and his limbs were twitching slightly. He looked in a very serious condition.

Gao Baowen has worked in the emergency department for nearly 30 years. His level may not be very high, but he is very experienced. Just with a simple examination, Gao Baowen can tell how difficult the situation is.

This child might not be able to be saved.

"Doctor, please, please, save our child. We have been married for ten years and this is the only child we have."

The child's mother beside her was choking with sobs and was supported by her husband. She was almost unsteady on her feet.
