Chapter 6 Fetal Position Adjustment
Yu Zhiming held on until five in the morning before he lay down on the accompanying bed and closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he was shocked to find his parents sitting by the crib.
Yu Zhiming threw off the thin blanket and sat up, saying in surprise, "Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
The handsome old man with gray hair snorted lightly in response.
The slightly plump mother carefully touched Yu Zhiming's face and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt much anymore."
"Mom, it's just a flesh wound. It will be fine in two days. Don't worry."
Yu Zhaoxia came to the accompanying crib and said, "Old Five, it's almost nine in the morning."
"My parents heard the news early in the morning and took a car from someone else to the county town. They arrived at the hospital before 7 o'clock."
"Your second and third sisters went to work after seeing you early in the morning."
Yu Zhiming said "oh" and suddenly heard the sound of teeth grinding behind him. He turned around and saw Yu Xiangwan standing on the other side of the accompanying crib with a pouty mouth and a look of aggrieved expression.
"Fourth sister, what's wrong with you?"
When he asked this, Yu Xiangwan's expression of grievance became even more intense, and she said pitifully, "Old Five, you don't know, I was beaten this morning."
"My mom, my eldest sister, my second sister, and my third sister all hit me. They were so cruel. It hurt so much."
"I am the most unloved person in the family."
Yu Zhaoxia gave her a sidelong look and said, "You deserve it. I left you here to take care of Lao Wu."
"You are so good..."
"When we arrived at the ward this morning, we saw you lying on the bed, soundly snoring."
"The fifth child was curled up in the small bed, sleeping pitifully, with nothing covering him."
"Beating you is too light..."
Without waiting for Yu Xiangwan to explain, Yu Zhaoxia turned to Yu Zhiming and said, "Hey, Lao Wu, your parents also know that you were invited to work in Binhai."
Yu Zhiming didn't try to comfort his fourth sister. He looked at his father and asked, "Dad, what do you think about going to Binhai to work?"
Dad said slowly: "Li Si of Qin once said, 'The virtue or vice of a man is like a rat; it all depends on where he lives.'"
"Old Five, leaving the county town for Binhai is like a rat in a toilet moving to a barn, in my opinion."
"If you want to go, I support you!"
His father, who was good at classical Chinese, had the final say in the family, and getting his father's personal support strengthened Yu Zhiming's confidence.
"Dad, thank you for your support!"
"After I go to Binhai, I will work harder and strive to achieve greater results, so as not to bring shame to the Yu family."
Dad nodded gently and said, "I believe this. You have always had a tenacious spirit to strive for success since you were a child."
"Old Five, Doctor Qi, I think he's a good person."
"Just follow him and have a good time in Binhai. Don't worry about me and your mother."
Yu Zhiming looked at his elder sister beside him with some confusion.
Yu Zhaoxia said softly, "Doctor Qi came this morning and talked to my parents and us for a while."
Yu Zhiming nodded, and suddenly Yu Xiangwan's chattering voice rang in his ears.
"Old Five, Doctor Qi asked me to tell you that his niece does have urinary dizziness."
"It was verified this morning."
"Also, Dr. Qi and his niece are off to catch the high-speed train. They left their contact information for you to contact them more often."
As they were talking, Yu Xiangwan, whose mood had improved, came to his father, squatted down, and grabbed his arm.
She swayed and said coquettishly, "Dear Dad, I also want to go to Binhai and be a fat warehouse mouse."
Dad said with a stern face, "With your half-baked skills, don't go along and cause trouble for Old Five."
"Why is it causing trouble?"
Yu Xiangwan was unconvinced and said, "Dad, at least I can take care of Lao Wu's food and daily life, right?"
"Having arrived in a new environment so far from home, Lao Wu must be having trouble eating and sleeping alone..."
Just then, Lu Fang, a nurse from the obstetrics and gynecology department, rushed into the ward, panting.
"Doctor Yu..."
Lu Fang took a deep breath and said hurriedly, "A woman who is over six months pregnant has come to the obstetrics department. Her umbilical cord is twisted and the fetus is dying."
"Director Wang asked me to ask, Doctor Yu, you..."
Before Lu Fang finished speaking, she saw Yu Zhiming got out of bed, put on his shoes and walked quickly towards the door.
Lu Fang jogged to catch up.
"Doctor Yu, the pregnant woman has been sent to the operating room..."
The umbilical cord is shaped like a rope.
It contains an umbilical vein and two umbilical arteries, which are important channels for gas exchange, nutrient supply and excretion of metabolic products between the fetus and the mother.
To put it simply, umbilical cord torsion means that the fetus is too restless and always rotates in one direction in the mother's body, causing excessive torsion of the umbilical cord.
Generally speaking, the umbilical cord twists along its longitudinal axis, forming a spiral shape, and physiological torsion can last for six to eleven weeks.
However, once this degree is exceeded, excessive twisting of the umbilical cord will seriously limit the umbilical cord's ability to deliver blood and oxygen, causing fetal body and organ maldevelopment, intellectual disabilities, and so on.
Worse still, it can cause the umbilical cord near the fetus's navel to become thinner and necrotic, leading to intrauterine asphyxiation and death of the fetus.
Umbilical cord torsion occurs in a relatively small proportion of cases.
However, once severe umbilical cord torsion occurs, with current medical technology, there is no other effective treatment except caesarean section or pregnancy termination surgery.
But Yu Zhiming is an exception.
With the help of his super-sensitive hearing and echolocation, he can accurately determine the posture of the fetus in the mother's body, and can use his hands to massage the fetus in the mother's body to effectively change the fetal position.
Yu Zhiming used this skill to help several pregnant women correct abnormal fetal positions, which earned him recognition from his colleagues in the hospital and gradually made him stand out...
Yu Zhiming followed the nurse to the No. 3 operating room in the obstetrics and gynecology operating area on the second floor of the No. 1 inpatient building, where he saw a pregnant woman lying on the operating table with her face pale, her forehead covered in sweat, and her belly bulging.
Next to the operating table, Deputy Director Wang of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology was fully armed and ready for the caesarean section.
When Deputy Director Wang saw Yu Zhiming coming in, he took a step back and gave up his operating position.
"Doctor Yu, the fetus is only 26 weeks old. From now on, it will all depend on your skillful hands."
Deputy Director Wang then comforted the pregnant woman, "Ms. Xu, although Dr. Yu is young, he is definitely among the best in the country in the field of fetal positioning."
"I'm not bragging. I can vouch for it with my 20 years of medical experience."
"If Dr. Yu can't handle your child's current condition, then surgery is the only option."
The pregnant woman named Xu endured the physical and mental discomfort and anxiety, and looked at Yu Zhiming with anticipation.
"Doctor Yu, my child depends entirely on you."
"I'll try my best." Yu Zhiming replied softly.
The fetus at 26 weeks is fully developed, with good limb mobility, breathing movements, and swallowing ability.
However, the fetus's organs are still relatively immature at this time, and if it is born at this time, the chance of survival is very low.
Even if the fetus survives, the cost during the pregnancy is a very heavy price for an average family...
Yu Zhiming placed his hands on the pregnant woman's belly. The first thing he felt was that the fetal heart rate was weak, far below the normal level for a fetus at this stage.
He patted the pregnant woman's belly a few times, then calmly felt it for a moment. When the three-dimensional simulation of the fetus and umbilical cord became clear in his mind, he asked the pregnant woman to lie on her left side and began to massage her belly with his hands...
His massage took more than an hour to complete, and he pushed the fetus to rotate thirteen times in the pregnant woman's belly.
I have to say, this is such a stubborn and annoying little goblin, he just keeps going in circles in one direction!
Feeling the fetus' heartbeat become much stronger, Yu Zhiming left the operating room.
The fetus's umbilical cord torsion has now been resolved by Yu Zhiming, but it does not mean that the fetus is safe.
The previous umbilical cord torsion may have had a serious impact on the development of the fetus.
Pregnant women need to stay in the hospital for a period of time to further monitor the growth and development of the fetus.
When Yu Zhiming left Operating Room No. 3, he happened to see his third sister Yu Xinyue, a surgical nurse, walking out of Operating Room No. 1 carrying an opaque red plastic bag.
"Someone wants the placenta!"
Yu Xinyue explained, then pulled Yu Zhiming closer and said in a low voice, "Old Five, I know why Dean Wu let you go so readily."
"His son is a graduate student at Binhai Normal University and will graduate this month. He wants to stay in Binhai, but he hasn't found a job yet."
When I finally understood, I suddenly felt enlightenment.
Dean Wu wants to use Dr. Qi's connections to find a job for his son.
This made Yu Zhiming feel at ease.
Dean Wu gave him the green light, so he didn't have to worry about anyone getting in his way when he left the county hospital...
Yu Zhiming and his third sister walked out of the isolation door of the operating area and saw that there were already twenty or thirty people waiting in the family waiting area outside.
A woman walked over quickly and took the plastic bag from Yu Xinyue's hand.
Yu Zhiming's gaze was involuntarily drawn to a little boy...
