Li Chengyuan’s nerves instantly tightened, and he turned to ask the obstetrician, "Doctor Du, what’s going on?"

Doctor Tang was circling around her husband, busy preparing other items.

After the fetus is delivered, the second stage of labor ends, and the third stage is about to begin.

The third stage is the time for the placenta to be delivered, which generally takes five to thirty minutes. Many mothers experience significant issues at this time. Experienced clinicians never dare to let their guard down after the child is born; instead, they must wait for the placenta to be delivered to discuss any further steps. Following standard procedures, the mother needs to be observed continuously for two hours in the delivery room before being transferred to a ward for a continued observation period of twenty-four to forty-eight hours before making any definitive statements.

The saying that a woman giving birth is half lying in a coffin is based on experience; it’s not senseless or random talk.

What no one expected was that before the placenta was delivered, the mother’s heart rate started to deteriorate.

"You’re asking what’s going on?" Responding to the cardiologist’s question, Doctor Tang glared, "We need to deliver the placenta now. You need to stabilize her heart rate. Otherwise, if the placenta remains in her uterus, there will be massive bleeding."

The mother’s heart rate has now skyrocketed to over a hundred beats per minute. Initial ECG waveform analysis identified it as a typical premature beat, indicating supraventricular tachycardia.

The reasons could be: the patient’s emotions were overly stimulated? She exerted too much force during childbirth, causing heart failure? Sudden oxygen deprivation? Angina or even myocardial infarction?

Given that the patient has an underlying heart condition, a cautious determination is needed to assess if it’s simply a vagal reaction, hence not employing the method Student Xie used earlier on the carotid sinus.

"Give her oxygen, increase the oxygen flow rate," Li Chengyuan instructed.

The nurse switched the oxygen tube connected to the oxygen bag for Li Xiaobing to the maximum setting.

"Hold your breath," Li Chengyuan told the patient.

Temporarily, medications are not used, trying to see if these simple measures can work. Consideration of obstetrics issues requires any cardiologist to exercise utmost caution.

Li Xiaobing couldn’t heed his words, her mind solely focused on the child, calling out to Junior Xie Wanying, saying, "Yingying, go, go check on my child."

Seeing that no one seems to be paying attention to her child, this mother is anxious to death.

"Senior, don’t worry," Xie Wanying knew that the child had been taken out by Doctor Song, and two fellow students had run out to help save the child, showing no signs of neglecting the child’s treatment.

Even though everyone was busy and the scene seemed chaotic, absolutely no one would take the situation lightly. All doctors involved would do their utmost to save the mother and the child. Of course, if power is limited, doctors will prioritize saving the mother first.

"Yingying, go—" Li Xiaobing pleaded with her again, issuing a strong request, "I only trust you, you know that."

Senior Li appeared on the verge of panic.

A mother’s love for her child is something that those who haven’t been mothers find hard to comprehend.

Xie Wanying thought of her own mother.

Sun Rongfang’s catchphrase was the same: anyone who harms my daughter will have to deal with me.

"Go, Yingying."

This steady voice was: Senior Cao?

Xie Wanying raised her gaze and locked eyes with her senior opposite.

Finally receiving her returning gaze, Cao Yong nodded his chin decisively.

With Senior Cao here guarding the senior, it was good, she would go guard her senior’s baby.

Gratefully fortified by Senior Cao, Xie Wanying quickly agreed, "Senior, I will go."
