Caesarean section for dead mother
A pregnant woman in Quang Ninh was brought to the hospital on the morning of August 12th and had stopped breathing but the fetus' heartbeat was still there, so doctors performed an emergency cesarean section to deliver the baby.
The 2.6 kg baby girl was born without crying or reflexes. Doctors at Quang Ninh Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital quickly performed emergency treatment in the operating room and intubated the baby.
Previously, a 35-week pregnant woman was brought to the emergency room in a state of death outside the hospital. Her family discovered that she was cyanotic all over and took her to the hospital. The doctor checked that the fetal heartbeat was still there but was intermittent, the baby was alive but in critical condition so they immediately performed a cesarean section.
