Chapter 639: Magic version of painless childbirth!
Gretel has long wanted to study painless childbirth.
In his previous life, he personally experienced an era when cesarean section rates were 60%, 70%, and 80%. At that time, almost all mothers wanted to have a cesarean section, while vaginal births were relatively rare;
Later, there was a big publicity in the society that "the cesarean section rate abroad is less than 10%";
“The cesarean section rate recommended by the WHO is 15%”;
The country has suppressed the cesarean section rate from the policy level. It is even said that some cesarean section quotas were exhausted and then not performed, almost killing two people...
There are also mothers who strongly demand cesarean section, accusing "you don't let me have a cesarean section because the scarred uterus makes it difficult to have children. You want me to have a second child and treat me as a birth machine"...:.
However, Grete also deeply remembers that the director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the time, against all objections at the meeting,
Against all odds, a cesarean section involves high surgical costs, long hospital stay, and high hospital income. For doctors, it saves time, effort, and money, and they don’t have to spend dozens of hours watching the labor process, which is not a good idea.
The director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology firmly supported the operation according to the indications. When he spoke at the meeting, he was sonorous, powerful and impassioned:
"I counted 2,135 expectant mothers in our hospital from January to December last year."
Her thin fingers tapped the keyboard, and a page of tables appeared on the slide screen:
"There were 1,427 women who delivered by cesarean section, with a total of 385 complications, and the overall complication rate was 26.98%. During the same period, there were 708 women who gave birth naturally, with a total of 88 complications, and the complication rate was 12.43%." (Note)
)
There was a long silence in the venue.
The difference, which is more than double, is shocking.
No medical worker, in the face of such a comparison, can say calmly that "abusing cesarean section is the right thing to do if it does not meet the surgical indications."
Even if he does not practice obstetrics, Grete knows that there are quite a few complications associated with cesarean section, including but not limited to:
In this magical world, postpartum hemorrhage, puerperal diseases, and postpartum infections may be suppressed with healing techniques.
Postoperative urinary retention, intestinal paralysis, and intestinal infarction may be alleviated given that the anesthesia method has been changed from drugs to magic.
Deep vein thrombosis, this... it's hard to say.
But what about acute cardiac insufficiency?
What about amniotic fluid embolism?
What about other, more rare complications?
What about other complications that can only happen to extraordinary people because of extraordinary power and imbalance of magical elements?
The mysteries of the human body are endless. Gretel never thought that with his medical level, he could achieve a 100% success rate in this world.
Every treatment and every operation was like walking on thin ice.
If we could follow the natural laws of the human body, perhaps painless delivery would be a better method than magical cesarean section?
Alternatively, local anesthesia can be used instead of general anesthesia even during cesarean section.
This can help doctors notice many signs that something is wrong. For example, in the case of amniotic fluid embolism, the mother may not even have a chance to show discomfort during palliative surgery.
At least, it can save a lot of costs and benefit more mothers...
But he didn't dare to start it rashly. Among all the possible pain relief options, the one he was most familiar with, the most convenient, and the least expensive was the improved version of [Delay Pain] that had been used by his government for anesthesia.
This magic consumes very little, and the local anesthesia within a 10*10 cm range is about the same as a level 0 magic trick. The problem is that this magic has a fatal flaw:
This thing only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. The moment the spell ends, the pain still remaining on the human body will fight back with double the force.
Double!
Gu/span> is good to use with treatment or other surgeries. Complete the treatment within the time limit of [delaying pain] and eliminate the pain. When the time limit is over, there is no pain anyway, and double zero is still zero.
But it cannot be used for painless childbirth!
For a first-time mother, the first stage of labor has a latent period + active period of 26 hours, and the second stage of labor is 3 hours. The total is 29 hours, and the duration of [Delaying Pain] is 1 hour for each level of the mage.
Good guy, the spell time limit is over, and I happen to encounter uterine contractions, and the severe pain doubles...
The pain that was originally level 8 has increased to level 16?!
The pain of the mother-in-law was so painful that she went to heaven!
"emmmm...let me think about it, how should I modify it..."
Grete scrawled, scrawled, scrawled, scrabbling, but couldn't find anything that could be corrected. He went straight to the Tower of Babel and went into the Great Library to read papers, but he couldn't find the answer.
Of course, given his mage level and research level, there are a lot of papers that he does not have permission to access...
Gretel rushed to the Tower of Song again and asked Mrs. Seat who had taught him this spell. The answer he got was:
"Take my badge and go to the tower spirit of the Tower of Songs to search for relevant papers..."
Gretel obtained the authority of the great mage of the confusion and control system and easily obtained a lot of papers. One, two, three and four papers. I have read them all and regretfully came to the conclusion:
There are hundreds of magicians, ranging from level 15 high-level mages to level 3 junior mages, trying to dismantle the spell model and eliminate this side effect.
No one succeeds.
Is there any research on other types of magicians?
Grete bit the bullet and went to borrow a badge from his teacher. The authority of a legendary mage should be high enough, right?
There should be no papers that cannot be read and no magic that cannot be learned, right?
Then, he heard the Lord of Thunder snort coldly, as if he remembered some unpleasant question. However, his face was ugly, so the teacher still showed mercy and gave him a suggestion:
"...For this question, I suggest you go to Black Crow Swamp. I remember that in every generation there is always someone who wants to do vivisection, and from time to time, there will be a few studies on how to relieve pain."
Grete shuddered silently.
But fortunately, the necromancers did not scare him with live autopsies. On the contrary, a group of necromancers, headed by Archmage Edgar, commanded the skeleton soldiers to run up and down, and turned out a lot of papers:
"Want to relieve the pain? You should have come to us a long time ago! Look, this is a painkiller made from datura, henbane, mummy powder and other secret medicines..."
Gretel: ...Thank you, I might as well get out the ether to be more reliable.
"This plan is to cut off the spinal cord, dissect it, and then use therapeutic techniques to glue it back together..."
Gretel: ...Thank you for your enthusiasm, but can we not be so rude?
"This plan is to let electric current pass through the human body... Speaking of which, this plan was done together with your Thunder Horn mage! It is particularly magical. Most of the time, the electric current will cause severe pain, but in some cases it can also cause pain.
People can’t feel pain…”
Grete:...You have invented electric pulse acupuncture anesthesia?!
