Soon, Zhao Heng injected all the anesthetic into the cavity.
The puncture anesthesia was completed, and the nurse connected the patient with an intravenous line. Next, everyone waited for the anesthesia to take effect, and then the surgery would begin.
Normally, a C-section uses local anesthesia rather than general anesthesia.
General anesthesia is used in C-sections rarely, typically only when both the mother and the fetus are in a rather dangerous situation that requires emergency surgery or other abnormal situations.
Because the medication used for general anesthesia may affect the fetus, the most common sedatives can have respiratory suppressant effects on newborns, so unless absolutely necessary, general anesthesia is not chosen for C-sections.
For this super patient, the side effects of general anesthesia would manifest more obviously, most notably, breathing and heartbeat suppression would be more severe.
In this situation, Zhao Heng opted for epidural block anesthesia for this super patient.
However, not being able to use general anesthesia means the dosage of local anesthetic must be increased, which demands higher accuracy for the puncture.
At this moment, the operating room was very quiet, with only the ticking sound from the life monitor.
Everyone was waiting!
Ten minutes later.
Zhao Heng looked at the life monitor and said to He Wei, "Dr. He, the anesthesia is effective, the patient's vital signs are stable, the surgery can begin."
"Yes, all right."
Upon hearing Zhao Heng's words, He Wei nodded with some excitement.
Not only her, but everyone else in the operating room was also excited.
Soon, Zhao Heng stayed by the life monitor, continually monitoring various real-time vital signs of the patient.
He Wei, along with resident doctors Xiaobai and Xiaohuang, began the surgery.
Although she had interned in the obstetrics department before and had seen C-sections, the scene of literally "fishing" the baby out from the fat like this was a first for Zhao Heng.
As the attending obstetrician, He Wei had skilled techniques, and her experience was quite abundant, resulting in no unforeseen incidents during the subsequent C-section.
Of course, this also owed to Zhao Heng's perfect anesthesia, providing the patient with the best condition for surgery.
11:40 AM.
He Wei carefully held a baby, looked briefly, it was a baby boy, then said to the nurse beside her, "Record the time and weigh him."
After saying this, He Wei gently patted the baby.
Wah!
With the loud cry of the baby, this unprecedented C-section was officially announced successful!
The nurse carefully took over the baby from He Wei and started weighing.
Soon, the nurse reported the baby's weight.
"Dr. He, the newborn weighs 3865 grams!"
Wow!
It's indeed a big chubby boy!
Weighing 3865 grams, that is 7.74 jin, a big chubby boy!
Normal newborns weigh between 2500 grams to 4000 grams; 3865 grams is already considered quite robust.
But thinking of the child's parents' weight, it's understandable.
Next, He Wei and the two resident doctors completed the finishing tasks.
Half an hour later, super patient Xiaohong slowly woke up.
"Doctor, where's my child?"
As soon as Xiaohong woke up, she asked He Wei.
"Here, it's a big chubby boy, 7.7 jin, very healthy."
He Wei held the baby in her arms, letting the pale and weak-looking patient Xiaohong see.
"Thank you, doctor, thank you."
At the first glance of her child, Xiaohong couldn't help but shed tears; she had longed for this child for too long and she deeply desired to become a mother.
Subsequently, the patient Xiaohong was transferred to the intensive care unit.
Although all post-surgery indicators were normal, considering the patient's weight, she must be observed for twenty-four hours in the ICU.
Meanwhile, Zhao Heng and He Wei walked out of the operating room together.
As soon as they exited, Xiaohong's husband sprung up from the bench, but not seeing his wife, he anxiously asked, "Doctor, where's Xiaohong?"
Not seeing his wife being wheeled out, Xiaohong's husband was extremely anxious, fearing something had happened to her.
"She's fine. Congratulations, it's a big chubby boy, a full 7.7 jin."
He Wei smiled as she spoke.
As an obstetrician, this moment was her most enjoyable.
"Because of her weight, she needs to be observed in the ICU for twenty-four hours. It's okay, after twenty-four hours, you can see both of them."
Zhao Heng also comforted Xiaohong's husband.
"Thank you, thank you, doctor."
Upon hearing this, Xiaohong's husband suddenly covered his face with his hands, crying and sobbing. With the cry, his entire flesh was shaking—a truly spectacular scene.
After coming out from the operating room, it was lunch time; Zhao Heng was about to go to the canteen for food when He Wei suddenly called him.
"Dr. Zhao, I really appreciate your help today."
He Wei said sincerely.
As a doctor, He Wei was quite sensitive, especially in obstetrics, always welcoming the arrival of new life, making her even more emotional.
Being able to safely deliver each mother was her greatest wish.
"It's just work; it's nothing."
Zhao Heng waved his hand, dismissing it.
"Dr. Zhao, how about having a meal together later? I have several other patient cases, somewhat similar to today's, and I'd like to discuss them with you."
For unknown reasons, He Wei suddenly said.
Even though the whole Eastern Hospital knew Zhao Heng had a girlfriend, who was also the beautiful Xu Man Ni from the operating room, He Wei still spoke.
Just discussing work, it's nothing.
He Wei told herself in her heart.
"Later I'll organize this patient's anesthesia plan and data, and send it to the obstetrics department's email. You can check it out."
Zhao Heng thought for a moment and said.
When someone warmly invites you, directly refusing might hurt their feelings.
However, he quickly thought of a solution.
"嗯..好的."
He Wei hesitated for a moment, somewhat disappointedly nodding.
At this time, Xu Man Ni walked over from a distance. Seeing He Wei, she simply greeted her before pulling Zhao Heng to eat.
At the canteen's second floor, Xu Man Ni ordered several dishes and sat next to Zhao Heng, somewhat teasingly saying to him, "Does He Wei have a crush on you?"
"No, she just said there were similar patients in obstetrics and wanted to discuss."
Zhao Heng shook his head slightly.
"Your charm is really growing."
Xu Man Ni sighed, suddenly recalling what her best friend Sun Li had told her.
It seems paying extra attention and holding on to it well would be wise.
Xu Man Ni couldn't help thinking.
"What charm would I have.."
Hearing this, Zhao Heng casually responded.
At a top-tier hospital like Eastern Hospital, there's no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women. Although he was considered handsome, he didn't particularly stand out in charm.
If that wasn't the case, how come no beautiful woman expressed interest when he was doing equipment demonstrations?
