Cesarean section method

There are many different surgical methods for cesarean section. The specific method to be used needs to be determined based on one's physical condition. Usually an incision is required from the abdomen, but anesthesia must be injected first. Most of them use semi-anesthesia, so the upper body of pregnant women will remain in a relatively awake state, but they will not feel any pain symptoms.

Procedure 1: Anesthesia

After the anesthetic takes effect, the doctor will make an incision in the expectant mother's lower abdomen, just above the pubic hair line. If the expectant mother is still awake, she will feel the sensation of being "cut", but will not feel any pain.

Procedure 2: Caesarean section

At this time, the doctor will make a second incision on the expectant mother's uterus and the amniotic sac will be opened. If it has not ruptured, aspirate the fluid. You may hear gurgling or splashing sounds of liquid flowing.

Process 3: Delivery

The baby is usually gently removed by the doctor, either manually or with forceps, while squeezing the mother's uterus. Because the baby's meninges are hard, the expectant mother can feel the baby being pulled out. Then, the umbilical cord is quickly cut, and while the baby is being carefully cared for, the doctor will remove the mother's placenta.

Process 4: Suturing

The doctor will quickly examine your genitals and sew up the incisions. The uterine incision will be closed with absorbable sutures, which do not have to be removed later. The incision in the abdomen is usually closed with regular sutures.

In fact, with the advanced modern medical technology, cesarean section has become a very easy operation, so expectant mothers don’t have to worry at all. They just need to ask their family members to wait patiently outside the operating room for the expectant mother and baby to appear.

Preoperative preparation

Before the operation, the expectant mother should maintain a happy and calm mood and avoid excessive tension and anxiety. When waiting for delivery, she can relax by listening to music, reading leisure books and communicating with other pregnant women. She can also relive every beautiful moment of pregnancy with the expectant father.

The following are some preoperative preparations that require the cooperation of expectant mothers:

1. Pay attention to get more rest. Make sure you get enough sleep the night before the operation and eat easily digestible food. Do not drink water or eat anything for at least four hours before the operation.

2. Clean the abdomen and vulva thoroughly. If you have a deep navel, clean it in advance.

3. Before the operation, the nurse will prepare you as follows:

Blood matching: Take 2 to 3 ml of venous blood for blood matching when blood transfusion is needed during surgery.

Skin preparation: Use a razor to shave the hair on the abdomen, waist, etc.

Intramuscular injection of anti-bleeding injection, etc.

Place a urinary catheter.

Initial disinfection of abdominal skin.

4. If you do not go to the operating room immediately after the surgery is ready, please lie on your side and wait.
