NAGPUR: A woman in her 30s, a resident of Wathoda, delivered a full-term baby in an autorickshaw at the casualty gate of GMCH on Sunday afternoon.
The woman’s cervix has dilated, and the discharge of amniotic fluid has also started, It also shows that she was about to deliver before reaching the Gynecology Department at Government Medical College and Hospital. The department is about 500 meters away from the accident ward.
The doctors have also said that delaying the delivery further and shifting the woman to the emergency ward was simply not possible due to the risks involved.
Also tell that when the labor pain started, the relatives of the woman brought her in an autorickshaw. MSSC guards posted in casualty reached the medicine ward, which was closest, and the paramedic staff is informed about the woman in labor at the entrance.
Nurse Vandana Bhoyar and male nurse Zulfi Ali immediately started helping the woman to give birth. The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) on duty Dr. Nikhil also joined them. In this accident, the pediatrician examined the child weighing about 2.5 kg. Later, the mother and child were shifted to the Gynecology Department.
It was a wise decision not to think about the location
Medical Superintendent Dr. Sharad Kuchewar said that instead of shifting the woman to the ward, the decision to deliver on the spot was correct. “The baby’s head was already out. Turning the mother could mean putting the baby at risk. Paramedical staff and CMO adopted an aseptic procedure to deliver the baby. Being a normal delivery, it does not require much expertise. Every doctor knows how to do a normal delivery,” they said.
Dr. Sharad Kuchewar has also said that the mother and child are doing very well. “This does not happen often, but since the patient reports late, such a situation has arisen,” he said.
Doctors have also said that in primary health centers in rural areas, only doctors do delivery.
The doctors at Government Medical College and Hospital have also said that if the baby is not taken out in time at all, the baby may have hypoxia or aspirated amniotic fluid. “It was a wise decision not to think about the location but to focus on the act of giving birth. If the child was kept in such a position for a long time, his life could be in danger,” they said.
