Chapter 1709 【1709】This Place Is Like a Battlefield

The door was blocked by family members. Suddenly seeing Dr. Zheng's face exposed in the gap, he waved at the two rookies. Xie Wanying and Geng slipped through the crowd, followed Teacher Zheng's instructions, first went to the medical staff's locker room next door to change clothes, slippers, caps, and masks before entering the delivery room.

As with working elsewhere in the hospital, the medical staff in the maternity ward is mainly composed of doctors and professional nursing staff. An anesthetist is present when needed. Nurses in the delivery room include ordinary nurses and midwives, and midwives need to obtain a special midwife certificate.

The doctor's word is taken care of by the doctor in the ward. Usually, the guardianship of the parturient is handed over to the midwife. The midwife will call and report to the doctor in time if any situation occurs during the delivery of the parturient, so that the doctor in the maternity ward will come over to deal with it. If the patient had a vaginal delivery, the midwife delivered the baby under the supervision of a doctor. The money belongs to the midwife. Therefore, midwives hope that pregnant women can give birth more than anyone else.

As newcomers, the two classmates dare not wander around. The area in the delivery room is not like the outside world thinks that there is only one area behind a door, but it is divided into many areas. Everyone who studies medicine knows that if you are not familiar with the division of the internal area of ​​the hospital, you must not wander around. It will violate the rules of aseptic operation, and it will not be resolved by scolding at that time.

According to Mr. Zheng, the room that can be seen as soon as you enter the door has a large area and the most beds. It is the main time-consuming battlefield in the delivery room: the room where many people are waiting for delivery.

The patients here are mainly women in the first stage of labor brought in from the ward or the emergency department. The first stage of labor takes the longest, especially for some first-time mothers whose labor lasts as long as one day. If judged according to the commonly used clinical indications, the regular uterine contractions and labor pains of pregnant women usually begin before delivery, and the cervix can be sent to the waiting room after two fingers are dilated. The width of a doctor's finger means about one centimeter, so the opening of the cervix means two centimeters.

In other special cases, such as the fetal fetal heart rate drops during monitoring, emergency water breaking is required, and then the pregnant woman will try to give birth naturally. Such patients will also be sent to the waiting room for delivery.

Going to each hospital, the medical indications of pregnant women who are sent to the delivery room may be slightly different. This needs to be determined according to the ratio of medical staff to the number of delivery rooms in each hospital.

Like Beidu 3, the number of 20 beds in the multi-person waiting room is often not enough, and a mobile bed is temporarily placed in the corridor to provide an extra bed for the parturient. Even so, some pregnant women are always hesitant to open the second finger of the cervix because the prenatal contraction index is at the critical value after delivery. The doctor below may check that it is two fingers, but the doctor above feels that it is not. , Let the pregnant woman go back to the maternity ward and continue to wait. Wait until it is almost time to send the patients up, otherwise the number of beds will not be enough for the patients.

It can be seen how unbalanced the supply and demand relationship in the delivery room is. Supply and demand are unbalanced, and there are many patients and few medical staff. Therefore, in order to serve more patients, medical staff can be seen walking like flying people everywhere in the delivery room.

From time to time in the corridor, the voices calling each other's colleagues sounded like a loudspeaker. As long as there are too many people in the hospital, you must rely on shouting, denying that no one can hear what anyone is saying.

In such a complex environment, the first thing is not to interfere with the work of colleagues. Dr. Zheng led the two students as if they were walking in a crack, carefully walking against the wall.
