Chapter 1850 Critical Illness Notice
The complex expression on Gui Jing's face was like a block of ice, instantly freezing the joy and noise in the corridor!
Countless gazes fell on her face, as if they saw some ominous premonition in her expression.
Li Xiangnan was also in the eye of the storm. He saw that Gui Jing was not wearing a mask, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead. Her eyes were serious as she looked at him. Finally, after scanning around, her gaze settled on his face.
"Director Gui!"
He knew that something must have happened inside to make Gui Jing's face show such a complicated and difficult expression. "Whatever it is, just say it!"
"Dean!" Gui Jing came over immediately, but instead of explaining right away, she grabbed his arm first.
It was this action that made Li Xiangnan's pupils suddenly shrink, and he subconsciously looked up sharply at the other person.
"Comrade Ruobai... just now during the cervical dilation process, there were signs of acute amniotic fluid embolism!" Gui Jing's voice remained professional and steady, but her speech was extremely fast, revealing the urgency of the situation.
"What?! Amniotic fluid embolism?"
Li Xiangnan was struck as if by lightning, his whole body trembled violently, and he almost lost his balance!
If Wang Defa and Song Ziming hadn't been quick-witted and rushed over to protect Gui Jing the moment he came out, he would have collapsed to the ground, his legs trembling!
Everyone present was a doctor, and they knew all too well what those four words meant!
This is one of the most dangerous and deadliest complications in obstetrics, with a rapid onset and rapidly changing condition!
Ruobai suddenly started bleeding today, and she is showing signs of labor ten days before her due date. Although this is within the delivery plan and in line with the rhythm of a woman's pregnancy, it is still a deviation from the plan!
But Li Xiangnan never expected that this small deviation would lead to such a serious amniotic fluid embolism!
Amniotic fluid embolism is most common during labor, primarily during the cervical dilation and delivery stages, specifically the first and second stages of labor.
However, the possibility of embolism cannot be ruled out during the prenatal and postpartum stages.
However, the key risk factors are mainly found in high-risk pregnancies, such as advanced maternal age, multiple pregnancies, polyhydramnios, placental abruption, uterine rupture, placenta previa, and a history of cesarean section.
Considering how difficult Ruobai's journey to pregnancy was, Li Xiangnan guessed that the amniotic fluid embolism might be related to the changes in her fallopian tubes back then.
Li Xiangnan forced himself to calm down, detach himself from his role as a husband, and think about how to guide Guijing in solving this problem!
At that moment, Zhu Qiuju and Jiang Guiying behind him gasped simultaneously and instinctively clasped their hands together tightly.
The smiles on Li Dequan and Qin Zongheng's faces vanished instantly, replaced by immense shock and worry.
Qin Kunlun stepped forward and grabbed his swaying son-in-law, his own hand trembling slightly with worry.
The corridor, which had been filled with anticipation just moments before, was instantly enveloped in suffocating fear.
Gui Jing tightened her grip on Li Xiangnan's arm and explained, "We are currently doing everything we can to save her. We've already administered medication and are preparing for a blood transfusion, but Ruobai's blood pressure is unstable and the bleeding is quite heavy. At any moment, depending on the situation, we will immediately perform an emergency cesarean section to terminate the pregnancy, while simultaneously fighting the embolism! Dean, please rest assured, I will not be lax in my obstetrics and gynecology skills. Now..."
She took a deep breath and handed over the paper and pen, saying, "Please sign this as a family member!"
In addition to the informed consent form for the surgery, she also handed Li Xiangnan a critical condition notice. Those few thin pages felt incredibly heavy at that moment!
At this moment, everyone in the corridor felt as heavy-hearted as Li Xiangnan.
Everyone knows what that critical illness notice means!
At that moment, all the hospital colleagues who rushed to congratulate them, the medical staff, and the surrounding relatives and friends were also choked by immense despair.
Li Xiangnan's hands trembled violently. He tried to take the pen, but found that at this moment, his fingers simply wouldn't obey his commands.
Previously, he was the one who handed over the pen; now the roles have reversed, and he is the one who signs.
At that moment, he finally truly understood the feelings of those patients' families!
A tremendous fear gripped his throat like an icy hand.
He looked up through the half-open door into the operating room, where his beloved wife and unborn child were awaiting their fate.
"Xiang Nan! Stay calm, you must stay calm, sign!" Qin Kunlun pressed hard on his son-in-law's shoulder, his voice carrying an undeniable force, "Trust Director Gui, and trust your own hospital! Every second is crucial now, you must pull yourself together!"
Li Xiangnan abruptly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes held a terrifying surge of emotion that he had forcibly suppressed, as well as the decisiveness of a dean.
Yes, compared to myself, Gui Jing is definitely the most outstanding expert in the entire Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Nianwei Hospital.
She's also been my partner through thick and thin for several years. I believe she will definitely help Ruobai get out of danger!
He grabbed the pen and, with almost all his might, signed his name in the family member section.
"Director Gui! You must save her!" Li Xiangnan's voice was hoarse with despair as he shoved the documents back into Gui Jing's hands, his eyes filled with pleading.
"We will definitely do our best!" Gui Jing nodded heavily, without any unnecessary words, and turned back to the operating room as quickly as possible.
"Wait!" Li Xiangnan suddenly shouted, adding rapidly as she turned around, "Pay attention to the DIC indicator; you can use it if necessary..."
He blurted out several professional drug names and dosage recommendations, an instinctive reaction in the midst of panic, based on his wife's condition and medical knowledge.
Gui Jing looked at him deeply and nodded. "I understand!"
Bang!
The operating room door was completely closed.
The red light was still on, but now it represented more than just waiting; it represented a life-or-death struggle against death.
The moment the door closed, Li Xiangnan felt as if all his strength had been drained away. He staggered back a few steps and slowly slid down to the ground against the cold wall.
He buried his face in his hands, turning his worry for his wife into the crook of his arms, burying himself in them.
All the friends, the Song family, and the police officers looked grave.
The Lin family members standing nearby were also stunned by this sudden bad news.
The dejection on Lin Jianzhou and Wang Xiuqin's faces had long been replaced by shock and sympathy.
Lin Weimin clenched his fists, Lin Muyu covered her mouth, and Lin Youwei hugged her arms tightly in fright. All three of them looked horrified and reluctant to let go.
Lin Chuqiao trembled all over, her stubborn expression could no longer be maintained, and tears streamed down her face.
She looked at the man who had once stood tall and strong, but now huddled on the ground like a vulnerable child, watching him suffer heart-wrenching pain for another woman…
At this moment, all jealousy, regret, and melancholy become insignificant, leaving only a primal reverence and prayer for human life that transcends personal emotions.
She felt incredibly sorry for the two people, one inside and one outside.
Time passed second by second, each second feeling like an eternity.
The corridor fell silent, a long, deathly stillness enveloping the room...
