JOMBANG - The management of the Jombang District Hospital, East Java, explained the policy of separating the baby's head and body in the birth process from a mother named Rohmah (29), a resident of Selombok Hamlet, Plemahan Village.

Head of Medical and Nursing Services at the Jombang Hospital M Vidya Buana said the patient named Rohmah was a referral patient from the Sumobito Public Health Center, Jombang. The patient was taken to the hospital on Thursday (28/7) with indications of pregnancy poisoning.

"According to the SOP, we did an initial examination and found the mother's condition is good and has entered the active phase, meaning that there has been an opening. Then, the position of the fetal head has also entered the pelvic floor," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, August 1.

The medical team also decided for a normal delivery process without a cesarean section. The process of opening the baby's mother is already seven, so observations continue to be carried out.

"After being observed, because it was already seven opening, delivery must be complete opening. So, we made observations while looking at the progress of the fetus, and it turned out that it was able to complete dilatation. Our team carried out delivery assistance," he said.

The delivery process was successful until the fetal head came out. However, after that there was a bottleneck during the birth process. "It's stuck on the shoulder," he said.

Medical officers, he said, continue to try to provide help in various ways. Until about 10 minutes have not produced results, the limbs are still in the mother's womb, until then the baby dies.

"This baby couldn't be saved, we saved the mother. It could have been forced, but the mother would be at risk. It could be that the mother's condition will bleed later, neither of them can survive," he said.

There were several options taken by the medical team when rescuing the patient, but in the end it was chosen to carry out decapitation (severance or decapitation of the fetus' neck).

"The baby's condition cannot be saved, so the priority of our officers is to focus on saving the mother's condition. If this is then forced, it could be that the mother will experience a torn birth canal and other conditions, so inevitably an operation is carried out to remove the fetus. , the head has been born, then it was decided to carry out the decapitation process," he said.

The hospital has provided information related to this to the victim's family, so an operation is carried out. Currently, Rohmah's condition has improved, but treatment still needs to be done. If there is progress from the results of laboratory tests, the patient is allowed to go home.

Meanwhile, regarding the request for a cesarean section, Dr. Vidya explained that when he was taken to the hospital from the Sumobito Health Center, Jombang, he did not mention that a Pro-SC (C-section) should be performed on Rohmah's patient. From the Puskesmas only explained related to preeclampsia. From the history, the baby's mother had hypertension.

The incident of the baby's death went viral on Twitter social media by the @MinDesiyaa account, Sunday (31/7). The owner of the account is a relative of the patient who explains about the calamity experienced by his brother.
