Utilitarian and Kantian

In this thought experiment, you are a doctor, and you work on a roadside hospital. Only you and another doctor are working in the hospital, and a woman who tried to commit suicide arrives at the hospital. She needs surgery, so the other doctor takes her to the operation room. He receives an emergency call, so he needs to leave the hospital and assigns you the surgery on the suicide attempt. While you’re in the middle of the operation, a pregnant woman comes in at a critical stage. You are alone in the hospital, and you need to choose between helping the pregnant woman or continue the surgery. There is a chance the pregnant woman and the baby will not survive even if you do the surgery on them, but the attempted suicide victim will survive. What would you choose?

How would a Utilitarian and a Kantian solve this thought experiment? What would they choose?
