Tet comes, Spring comes to the sickbed

At Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital on the morning of the first day of Tet, Spring has come with love and complete joy to the family of 2 pregnant women NTD (22 years old, Nghi Loc district) and LTMN (29 years old, Vinh city). Not many people know that, just a few hours before, mother and child 2pregnant womenhad gone through life and death moments.

On the night of the 30th of Tet, the pregnant woman NTD, who was 36 weeks pregnant, was admitted to the hospital with heavy vaginal bleeding and amniotic fluid, no abdominal pain, pale skin, and pale mucous membranes. The doctors quickly held an emergency consultation and concluded that the pregnant woman had acute fetal distress and premature placental abruption, requiring emergency surgery to save the fetus and mother. With the utmost effort and good coordination of the on-call team..., after a few minutes, the surgery was successful, and the baby girl was born weighing 2.5 kg. The young pregnant woman was saved by the doctors' efforts to preserve her uterus for the next birth.

Right after the mother NT D had a safe delivery, the hospital team performed a cesarean section for the mother Le TMN. Fortunately, the mother N arrived at the hospital in time when, through ultrasound, the doctor discovered that the umbilical cord was tied, along with two loops around the mother's neck in the uterus. The tight knot combined with the rotation of the fetus obstructed the blood supply to the fetus, causing danger if not handled promptly. The team performed a cesarean section at week 38 to ensure the safety of the baby... Before the New Year's Eve, the newborn cried loudly when he was born, bringing joy to the doctors and nurses.

Thanks to the doctors, 2 mothers "turned bad luck into good luck". From 8am on the 30th of Tet to 8am on the first day of Tet, the hospital welcomed 17 babies. Sharing joy with the families of the mothers and visiting and giving lucky money to the patients on the first day of the new year, Doctor CKII. Dinh Xuan Huong - Deputy Director of Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital confided: "On the first day of the new year, for the hospital's doctors and nurses, doing meaningful things and spreading love is the greatest happiness!

This year's Tet, in the context of epidemic riskCOVID-19Intrusion, hospitals in Nghe An do not organize cultural and artistic programs to welcome New Year's Eve. But that does not mean that patients are lonely. In addition to the care and attention of family members and doctors, patients are also welcomed by many working delegations from the province, many volunteer organizations, and kind individuals to visit, give gifts, and give free meals. Those noble gestures seem to have contributed to bringing the warm atmosphere of Spring to patients and their families.
