Medical (general)
English term or phrase: crash section
They're doing a crash section in OR 10. (in het ziekenhuis dus, dit is een soort operatie, veronderstel ik)

Explanation:
I'm 96% certain that 'section' is not just any old operation, but refers to a 'C-section', i.e. a Caesarian section. Does this fit in your context? As the answer above notes, 'crash' is hospital jargon for 'emergency'.

-> "Sometimes the fetal heart rate will decelerate to the point where you get minutes of the heart rate down below baseline and this shows that it's time to get baby out NOW! And medical people sometimes refer to this as a "crash" c-section, i.e. an emergency."
