A pregnant woman over the age of 40 used a vacuum suction cup to assist in delivery. However, the baby girl had a swelling on her head and died on the 8th day of her birth.

An assisting midwife testified that the mother of the baby girl once told the doctor that she was too old to have enough strength and wanted to give birth by caesarean section, but the doctor explained that because the head of the fetus was in a deep position, it would be better to use a suction cup. In the end, it was agreed to use suction cups.


The deceased baby girl Zhan Xuelin was born in the early morning of January 30, 2016. When her mother gave birth at the United Hospital, the hospital used vacuum suction three times to help her deliver the baby. After Xuelin was born, the doctor found a lump on her head. She was sent to the Intensive Treatment Department for observation. However, Xuelin's condition continued to deteriorate. She died at 10:14 on February 6th of the same year and was alive for only 8 days.

The HA attended the inquiry with an interested party.

The doctor once explained to pregnant women that the risk of surgery is higher

Yang Yuling, who was an intern midwife at the time, confessed that she arrived in the delivery room at about 2 am on January 30, 2016. Xuelin's mother told her that she wanted to have a baby by caesarean section. Yang responded that she had to wait for the doctor's judgment.

The doctor arrived at the scene at 2:55 and after examining the mother Xue Lin, he explained to her the method of assisting delivery, saying that the suction cup was most suitable for delivery at that time.

The mother said that she was old and lacking enough energy, and she hoped that she could switch to surgery. The doctor explained again: "Because of your situation, the BB is too big to get into a deep position. If you switch to emergency surgery, the risk is even greater." Finally agreed to use suction cups to deliver the baby.

Forensic doctor Zhong Yaru pointed out that Xuelin's death was caused by hypovolemic shock caused by hemorrhage under the cap-shaped healthy membrane, which caused her brain hypoxic-ischemic death, and also led to her pulmonary hemorrhage and acute renal failure.

Xuelin cerebral hemorrhage is not suitable for kidney dialysis

Dr. Fu Ruming from Princess Margaret Hospital confessed that Xuelin was transferred to Princess Margaret Hospital on the 6th day of her birth, February 4, 2016. She was scheduled to undergo dialysis, but after examination, she found hemorrhage inside and outside the skull. , Not suitable for dialysis.

Fu explained that dialysis requires the blood of the body to be drawn out, so there is a chance that Xuelin’s blood pressure will drop, aggravate the hypoxia of the brain, and the doctor will use drugs to prevent blood clots from forming to make the dialysis process smoother, but these drugs It will make Xuelin's blood coagulation function worse and cause the cerebral hemorrhage problem to persist.

In addition, dialysis can only improve its renal function, but cannot improve the problem of cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. Therefore, it is believed that dialysis has a greater risk.

Children are so sick that they don’t have much kidney dialysis

Earlier, some doctors pointed out that Princess Margaret Hospital was the only hospital capable of dialysis for children. Fu pointed out that other hospitals also had doctors who knew how to dialysis. However, Princess Margaret Hospital had the most complete and experienced facilities and team.

Coroner He Junyao immediately questioned why more children’s nephrology departments should not be added. Fu explained that children are so seriously ill that not many children need dialysis. Therefore, even if each room has a dialysis team, the group experience will be insufficient due to insufficient patients. .

Forensic doctor Zhong Yaru pointed out that Xuelin's death was caused by hypovolemic shock caused by hemorrhage under the cap-shaped healthy membrane, which caused her brain hypoxic-ischemic death, and also led to her pulmonary hemorrhage and acute renal failure.
