"What are you still waiting for? Insert the catheter. Hurry up, I will give her a blood transfusion." Lisa ordered.
"Um, but do you know the patient's blood type?" Wonyoung asked, not knowing what to do. Deep down, she felt vacant, because this operation was just too risky. Not a lot of places would even perform an operation like this, because they may as well kill themselves if something goes wrong.
"I've already checked, she's AB-type blood. I already took out some blood bags from the blood bank," Lisa said calmly.
"Unnie, tell me something you don't know. How do you know everything?"
Wonyoung was so overwhelmed that she wanted to cry. She had known Lisa for a little over half a year now, but during a moment like this, Lisa turned into someone capable of anything, like Wonder Woman.
"Don't be nervous. It's fine. Just do what you always do, and I will take care of the rest," seeing how anxious Wonyoung was, Lisa assured her.
After hearing what she said, Wonyoung put her foot down and bravely decided to assist this surgeon, who had no prior experience in this type of surgery.
Wonyoung followed Lisa's instructions and immediately inserted the patient's catheter, all while monitoring her vitals.
Lisa completed the blood transfusion, covered the patient's face with an oxygen mask and began the process of homeostasis, one action after the other.
Her lightning-quick speed left Wonyoung speechless...
The pregnant woman lied on the operating table completely naked, slowly losing consciousness.
Lisa made the decision to administer general anesthesia on the patient since there was no longer any meaning in using local anesthesia on an unconscious patient. Local anesthesia only worked if the patient was conscious.
However, the risk and side effects of general anesthesia were much higher, and it could potentially have a negative impact on the newborn's brain. So general anesthesia is not typically recommended unless the circumstances were special.
Of course, the situation that Lisa and Wonyoung were in was considered one of those special circumstances.
"Won, give me her stats."
"BP 150 over 90, Heart rate 135. Her pulse is a little weak, could be due to the loss of blood."
"Her blood pressure is a little high. We will have to control that first, and then I will proceed with the C-Section." Lisa carefully examined the patient's abdomen with gloves on, checking to see if there had been previous c-section scars.
If this was her first born, she would be able to perform a C-Section right away. However, if this was her second child, then she would need to operate on the same spot as the first surgery to avoid secondary traumatization.
Lisa found a light scar on the patient's abdomen, confirming that she had had a C-section before.
This complicates the surgery, because the previous wound had already healed, and the scar was very light.
This surely increased the difficulty of the surgery...
"Unnie, what's wrong?"
"This is her second child, I need to operate on the previous wound. Pass me the scalpel." Lisa reached out her hand.
Wonyoung shook in fear as she passed Lisa the scalpel.
Lisa then calmly but accurately cut open the patient's abdomen.
Wonyoung was too nervous to look...
"It's a breech baby, no wonder she's been bleeding so much. Her family's so careless. They should have noticed that the baby was in breech position through an ultrasound. She should have had a C-Section much earlier. Why did they wait until now?" Lisa frowned as she blamed the ignorance of the patient's family.
