Wow... So it's 2:30 am and I just finished assisting with an emergent c-section for severe preeclampsia at 30 weeks. The OR was unbelievable... No wonder there's a high rate of infection.... We tried to make it as sterile as possible, but it was difficult. We used a hysterectomy tray and some random suture we found, and I was also playing scrub tech on top of my surgical assist role. Absolutely crazy. And to top it all off, the power turned off just as we were putting the dressing on the incision. If it had happened during the surgery, I don't have a clue as to what would have happened. Someone was watching out for us tonight. The baby is actually doing okay... Likely closer to 32 weeks gestation, and breathing well. Wish him and his mama good thoughts and recovery. Signing off for now... -M
