Caesarean Section Observation
On September 20th, I observed a caesarean delivery of a baby boy. The procedure was scheduled to begin at 1700. The mother arrived at 1500 accompanied by her husband. She settled in the room that she would remain after the procedure. The mother was G2P1 and have had a previous caesarean to deliver her first child. The mother’s BMI was slightly high and she had gestational diabetes. Although, she had problems that could lead to a high-risk delivery, her labor was successful. Marissa and I arrived at the operation room one hour prior the surgery to observe the LPN and her trainee setting up the sterile instruments that were going to be used during the procedure. As the mother arrived in the OR, she was guided to the operation table and the anesthesiologist did a spinal tap anesthesia on her. During this initial procedure, she remained very calm and cooperative. Her husband was not present at this time. Subsequently this

The health care team provided warm blanket for the mother and dimmed the lights so she could rest while they closely assessed her. Marrisa and I left right after the providers made the mother comfortable due to the time restrains, because it was the end of our clinical rotation for the day. One of my many views regarding this procedure is that safety is always first. The health care team made sure that the patient was safe during the whole procedure. In addition, the maintenance of the patient’s body integrity and privacy were provided by only exposing the body part that was being operated on. Moreover, all of the providers worked as a team and in synchrony with one another, which promoted a successful outcome of the birth of a healthy baby
"I just told them they could do a topsy. Nothing else, Them doctors never said nuthin about keeping her alive in no tubes or growin no cells. All they told
He visited her every day after she was admitted, helping her to prepare for the operation by discussing the procedure and by personally keeping track of her health. Dr. Mazerolle explained to Ms. O’Blenis the possible outcomes of the surgery and the risks, and Ms. O’Blenis signed the consent form for the first
My role as a patient advisor with Kaiser Permanente began in 2010 after the birth of my daughter. I was induced and spent 6 days in the hospital and during that time my family and I experienced wide fluctuations in the level of care and communication provided by the various healthcare professionals attending to us. At the end of my stay, I shared my observations and perception of the labor & delivery and postpartum hospital experience with the department administrator and ombudsman. Upon providing my feedback I was impressed with the reception I received. My input was welcomed and embraced.
Trawick-Smith (2014) argues “Modern technology has given rise to a set of standard medical procedures used frequently in hospital births in Western Societies” (pg. 89). One of these standard medical procedures is the caesarian section. The caesarian section is a process where the newborn is removed surgically, an incision is made in the abdomen and the baby is removed from the uterus (Trawick-Smith, 2014, pg. 89). Throughout the years the caesarian section has become increasingly popular. The film argues that hospitals have different motives when it comes to the delivery of newborns.
In this dialogue, readers understand the intense love she feels and that she cannot see a life without her child in it. Secondly, Moore shows how much the Mother hates seeing her child suffer and simply wants him to be healthy. After the operation, the Mother goes to see the Baby, and after the horror of seeing him attached to so many medical tools, “[s]he wants to pick [him up] and run – out of there, out of there. […] Don’t you touch him! she wants to shout at the surgeons and the needle nurses.
However, in 1963 “about 25,000 children a year died because medical science lacked the skills and the specialized equipment needed to save them” (James 1). “By 2002, fewer than 1,000 babies a year die[d] of respiratory distress” (Philip 807) and “doctors can now save preemies as young as 23 and 24 weeks with the use of the protein surfactant, ventilators, and advanced technology known as continuous positive air pressure” (James 3). “The death of this presidential baby was a critical event, according to historians, one that sparked medical advances [and increased funding] that did for the survival of preemies what Sputnik did for the space race” (James 1). The terms, “neonatology and neonatologist were first introduced in 1960” (Philip 799).
Therefore, I followed all the procedure and wear the scrubs provided by them. I wear the mask, gown, and gloves and enter the unit. As I enter the unit, I was very nervous and excited to see the surgery. I saw the nurses transferring the patient in
Then, I went with her on her rounds on hourly check ups on the babies. There were a few babies on ECMO, extracorporeal life support. This machine takes the oxygen poor blood out of the body, filters it, and puts it back into the body. This lets the newborn’s lungs and heart develop normally again. It was very interesting to me to see so many newborns on ECMO
The staff nurse followed all protocols defined by the hospital. When Monroe arrived at the hospital there was no apparent emergency. Moreover, the nurse went above and beyond to provide for her, she gave Monroe information where to get OB services and even offered an ambulance
Upon arrival, Ramirez stated, she needed medical attention due to her vaginal area bleeding from a possible pregnancy. Ramirez was transported to GMH for medical evaluation and clearance. Ramirez was evaluated, and the attending physician advised
The baby project is a huge topic to write about, no I don 't mean controversial I mean struggle, and how much this simple project can change your view in teen pregnancy and having to take care of a kid at this age. It may seem all simple and easy but thanks to this project we learned how hard it can all become at the end. As the "father" of the baby, I believe I didn’t do the most I could when came to taking care of a baby. I strongly believe I could had done much more to help.
Despite the religious view that women should suffer during pregnancy anaesthesia was a turning point in caesarean history, principally because it gave the surgeon more time while operating on a still patient. Queen Victoria gave birth to two of her children under chloroform spiking demand for obstetric
We were admitted immediately and brought to her delivery room, the room was very dark and cold, the air conditioning was so high that my wife could almost ignore her pain because it was so cold in the room.
