Chapter 95 Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Ying Wuyou silently called out to the system in his heart: "System, quickly look up all kinds of first aid knowledge for me, I need it right away."
The system immediately responded: 【No problem, host, please wait a moment.】 Before long, the system quickly found various first aid knowledge in modern society.
Ying Wuyou stared intently at the massive amount of data sent by the system and began to organize it carefully. She knew that this first aid knowledge had to be simple, easy to understand, and easy to learn and practice; otherwise, in this ancient Qin Dynasty, it would be harder than climbing to heaven to pass it on to the people.
After careful consideration, Ying Wuyou decided to choose some relatively simple and easy-to-understand first aid methods, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the Heimlich maneuver, burn treatment, fracture immobilization, heatstroke first aid, and drowning first aid. She carefully compiled these methods into a manual and examined the booklet in her hands with great care.
Ying Wuyou couldn't help but think how helpful it would be if every doctor had such a booklet! Moreover, if ordinary people could also learn this first aid knowledge, it would greatly improve the overall health level of society.
"It seems we need to find time to arrange printing technology," Ying Wuyou muttered to himself.
However, the most pressing task at present is still to impart first aid knowledge to Physician Li and others so that they can quickly master it and apply it in practice, thereby training a highly efficient emergency medical team. Therefore, Ying Wuyou decided to focus on completing this important goal first.
Ying Wuyou slept soundly without a dream. The next morning, she got up early, clutching her neatly organized booklet, and headed without hesitation towards the emergency medical training ground.
When Ying Wuyou arrived, Imperial Physician Li Qingfeng and dozens of other imperial physicians who had signed confidentiality agreements the day before were already there. Ying Wuyou led Doctor Li Yifeng into the courtyard and, seeing the group discussing first aid knowledge, she said, "Please pause for a moment, everyone. I'd like to introduce someone." Seeing that everyone had stopped discussing, Ying Wuyou pointed to Doctor Li Yifeng beside her and said, "This gentleman beside me is Doctor Li Yifeng. His medical skills are also quite good. He will be teaching first aid personnel with you all in the future."
Hearing Ying Wuyou's words, no one objected. Although most imperial physicians did not think much of ordinary doctors, teaching emergency medical personnel did not require overly advanced medical skills, and everyone was happy to have another person to help them share the workload. Therefore, Doctor Li Yifeng quickly joined the emergency medical personnel training program.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Ying Wuyou continued, "There's one more thing. These are some first aid methods that I compiled yesterday. Please take a look and discuss them with each other. If you have any questions, I'll answer them immediately. If you have any other better first aid methods, please feel free to share them so we can discuss them together." As he spoke, Ying Wuyou took out a small booklet from his cloth bag and handed it to Physician Li Qingfeng.
Upon hearing Ying Wuyou's words, everyone gathered around Physician Li Qingfeng and carefully studied the contents of the booklet.
Seeing so many eyes staring at the same booklet, Li Qingfeng, after a brief moment of thought, couldn't help but ask Ying Wuyou, "Your Highness, could you please demonstrate the methods in this booklet for us? There are many of them that we don't understand."
Ying Wuyou smiled slightly and nodded in agreement, "Of course." Then she instructed the guards around her to find a few people to come over so she could demonstrate for herself.
A few guards came in shortly after. Ying Wuyou had someone lie down and said to everyone, "Let's start with CPR. Sometimes a weak pulse might lead many doctors to believe that a person is dead and beyond saving, but that's not the case. In such situations, we can try CPR."
Ying Wuyou knelt beside the lying guard, a move that startled everyone. They all advised, "Princess, you are of noble birth, how can you kneel so casually? This is against etiquette." Ying Wuyou waved her hand and said, "When saving lives, only the rescuer's proper posture can save the patient, not what etiquette. I am teaching you how to save lives; saving lives does not require etiquette."
After finishing speaking, Ying Wuyou continued to explain: "There are two methods of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The first is to help restore heartbeat and breathing by pressing on the chest; the second is artificial respiration."
As she spoke, Ying Wuyou placed her hands, one on top of the other, below the patient's sternum. Then, she began to press rhythmically, using all her strength with each press. After releasing her hands, Ying Wuyou said, "This is chest compressions. You need to master the position and pressure in this step. You'll all figure it out yourselves in a bit."
Hearing this, Li Qingfeng frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Then may I ask, Princess, what is artificial respiration?"
Ying Wuyou said, "Artificial respiration is used to artificially deliver air into a patient's lungs to maintain their vital signs when the patient has stopped breathing or is having difficulty breathing."
After a brief pause, Ying Wuyou continued, "Pinch the patient's nose with one hand, and lift their chin with the other, tilting their head back. Take a deep breath, then press your lips tightly against the patient's lips and slowly blow air into their lungs, observing whether their chest rises and falls. After blowing air, release your hand from the nose, allowing the patient's chest to naturally recoil and expel the air from their lungs. Repeat these steps several times until the patient regains spontaneous breathing."
Just as Ying Wuyou was about to demonstrate, Li Qingfeng quickly stepped forward to stop her. His face was pale, and he said with a very unnatural expression, "Your Highness, blowing air into someone's mouth is really... really too difficult for us!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Wuyou frowned slightly and said earnestly, "Imperial Physician Li, I know you are highly respected, but human life is at stake. Don't you understand that there is no distinction between men and women in front of patients? If treatment is delayed because of the difference between men and women, it could lead to someone's death!"
Ying Wuyou gazed at the troubled faces of the imperial physicians and said softly, "I know you may find it hard to understand why mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is necessary to save a life. However, artificial respiration is indeed the most convenient and effective way to save a life. Imagine if one day your closest relatives or friends were on the verge of death, and someone happened to be proficient in artificial respiration, and only this technique could save them. Would you then beg that person to lend a helping hand?"
Upon hearing Ying Wuyou's words, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent. Ying Wuyou continued, "Artificial respiration is of utmost importance, and you all need to overcome your inner concerns. You might as well go home and think it over. Next, I will elaborate on the key points of artificial respiration: First, you must control the force when blowing air; second, you must always pay attention to the rise and fall of the patient's chest; third, remember that this is a life-saving method, not a trivial act. Finally, artificial respiration should be combined with chest compressions; in this way, the chances of survival will be much higher."
After saying that, Ying Wuyou added, "Everyone, familiarize yourselves with this first, practice a lot, and feel free to ask me any questions you encounter."
