Chapter 34 – Cardiac Resuscitation

Once she turned the body around, Gu QIanxue finally got the chance to see the man’s face.

He is about twenty years old, his skin is pale as paper, his cheeks are thin and sunken, and his eyes are sunken. Because he is too thin, the bridge of the tall and straight nose looks abrupt.

The thin lips are dark purple, which is a sign of hypoxia.

Gu Qianxue immediately tested for the man’s nose and pulse. Fortunately, the man was not dead, but his pulse was weak.

Laying the man’s body flat on the ground, Gu Qianxue felt that the man was so tall but was as light as a kitten. He had not much flesh on his body, and his bones were prickly, it was obvious that he had been ill for a long time.

Gu Qianxue estimates that the man should be suffering from some sort of heart disease, but did not know whether it is myocardial infarction.

Putting the man in a restorative position, supporting his head with one hand, and placing him in the abdominal position then bending the upper arm and knee joint close to one side, and gently tilt the head back to ensure the airway is unobstructed.

Then, the other hand quickly took out the bamboo tube from the medicine box and opened the man’s clothes.

Fortunately, the man’s white lining is half open, which will not be too complicated, saving a lot of time.

After auscultation, Gu Qianxue determined that what the man had was some sort of heart disease, and immediately threw away the bamboo stethoscope to start treatment

After a heart attack, the golden rescue time is only four minutes!

Generally, at normal room temperature, three seconds after cardiac arrest, people will feel dizzy due to brain hypoxia; ten to twenty seconds later, people will lose consciousness; after thirty to forty-five seconds, pupils will dilate; one minute later, breathing will stop, urine and fecal incontinence; four minutes later, irreversible damage to brain cells will occur.

Due to cardiac arrest, the patient immediately lost consciousness and was in the stage of clinical death. The best golden rescue time for ordinary people is 4 minutes to 6 minutes. If the rescue is not carried out within 4 minutes, the patient will immediately enter the stage of biological death, and the hope of survival is extremely slim.

Of course, these theories are under the premise of modern medical equipment – ventilator and IUC. In Nanyue Kingdom, even the stethoscope needs to be replaced by a bamboo tube, let alone four minutes, or more than one minute. Gu Qianxue doesn’t know how to bring the patient back to life.

Fortunately, although the man’s body is weak, the survival consciousness is extremely strong.

Gu Qianxue vaguely remembers that the main formula of Suxiao Jiuxin Pill*is chuanxiong rhizome and borneol.

Chuanxiong is one of the most commonly used traditional Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing stasis. “Compendium of Materia Medica” called Chuanxiong as “Qi medicine in blood”, “reaching the top of the top, opening the sea of blood in the lower part, opening up the stasis in the middle” and “justice of Materia Medica” called Chuanxiong “the flow of Qi in blood, to dredge it”.

Borneol is pungent and bitter in taste and cool in nature. It enters the heart and lung meridians. It has the function of opening up the mind, dispelling the filth and transforming the turbid.

The combination of the two drugs can bring out the best of each other. It can regulate qi, activate blood circulation and relieve pain. It can remove stasis and open the orifices, and make the heart and blood vessels unobstructed.

Of course, this is only known as the main medicinal materials, and there are many other auxiliary medicinal materials. Gu Qianxue doesn’t know about them, but she does.

She quickly found out from the medicine box two bottles of “Chinese patent medicine”, although this medicine is not a single chuanxiong and borneol, but there are two kinds of medicine, should have a certain role.

Regardless of the three seven twenty-one, Gu Qianxue opened the man’s mouth and poured two bottles of medicine into it. Then she brought the teapot on the table and began to pour water into the man’s mouth.

The medicine was taken, but the temporary prescription was not as effective as Suxiao Jiuxin Pill. The man’s lips became more and more black and purple, his breathing was rapid, and his pulse was getting slower and slower.

Gu Qianxue can only carry out cardiac resuscitation, using mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration instead of oxygen bag, forcing patients to inhale oxygen; using palm pressing method to re-establish circulation for the patient’s heart.

When Gu Qianxue was performing cardiac resuscitation for the strange man, she suddenly remembered the scene of rescuing Prince Li a few days ago. She couldn’t help but feel cold in her back for she was afraid that the man would wake up and become the second Prince Li and kill her.

But let go, and she can’t do it.

Maybe it’s a doctor’s conscience, Gu Qianxue can face death, but can’t let people die in front of her.

Biting the bullet, Gu Qianxue lowered her head to give the man artificial respiration, holding a mortal heart.

If the man wakes up and wants to kill her, she will let him kill her without struggle. Maybe this is her life.

Lips touching, but there is no ambiguity.

Gu Qianxue put aside all thoughts and tried her best to rescue the man. She had to insist on CPR until the pills took effect.

All of a sudden, there was a sound from behind. It was the sound of opening the door. Then, someone was shouting “Little Master”. The disordered steps came in one after another. In the place not far from Gu Qianxue, the footstep stopped suddenly, followed by the sound of breathing backward.

Gu Qianxue doesn’t have to look back and know what people are surprised at. This kind of backward inspiration has been heard twice since she came to Nanyue.

To be honest, if she had a choice, she really didn’t want to save people in this way, but she had no choice.

It’s none other than Shopkeeper Su. Behind Shopkeeper Su, there are several schoolboys, as well as Yu Lian and Yu Cui.

Someone just wanted to shout, but Shopkeeper Su reached out and made a sign to stop.

Shopkeeper Su is well-informed. Although he has never seen this ambiguous way of saving people, he can guess that Gu Qianxue is not taking advantage of the little master. Moreover, he knew that the little master has a congenital deficiency. In recent years, the condition has become more and more serious. His appearance has been taken off his face. Compared with the word “beautiful”, he is more like a ghost.

Because of Shopkeeper Su’s gesture, people dare not say much. They can only stand in the distance and watch the little Lord in front of him who is despised by the notorious Gu Qianxue.

After about a quarter of an hour, Gu Qianxue finally stopped, falling to sit on one side, a long sigh of relief, the whole body has been sweat soaked, her hands ached.

At Gu Qianxue’s side, the man wakes up. With the frail and emaciated appearance extremely does not match, the man’s eye son unexpectedly bright as the star.

His eye color is very light, is a rare light gray, because the color is very light, pupil patterns are fully displayed, like the mysterious universe, people cannot help but explore the mysterious abnormal.

Shopkeeper Su trembled with excitement, “Little master!”

That pair of light gray eyes moved quietly away from Gu Qianxue and moved to look at Shopkeeper Su, “En.”

A sound of “En”, as quiet as the pool, calm with a trace of clarity, It’s as if the person who just came back from the ghost gate was not him.

Gu Qianxue saw the man wake up, glanced at it and did not look at it any more, bowed his head and began to pack up his medicine box. “You have a heart disease. It’s very serious. You must pay attention to rest in the future.” Just because she was too anxious just now when she took the stethoscope and medicine, she had almost knocked over the medicine box.

Shopkeeper Su looked at Gu Qianxue with a very complicated look in his eyes, “Little master, the person who just saved you is really Miss Gu?”
