Free Web NovelChapter 375: Chapter 215: On-Site Emergency Treatment
Mu Nanshu saw a head that had exploded and nearly vomited on the spot. After pretending to retch twice, she forced herself to suppress the discomfort in her stomach and started to check on another injured person.
"Help me." Lu Cheng approached a young man in his twenties, who, upon seeing Lu Cheng, had a voice full of fear and pleading.
Lu Cheng could immediately see that he was lying prone, with both calves crushed... covered in blood.
He had crawled a considerable distance on his hands, now tilting his head like a panicked hamster, all at a loss.
"Don’t move anymore. You need to rest well now, calm down a bit, and don’t get too agitated!" Lu Cheng said.
"Help me," the young man repeated.
Lu Cheng extended the index and middle fingers of his right hand to check the pulse in his carotid artery.
The pulse was strong and very clear.
Lu Cheng glanced again at the back of his calf; his pants and skin had already burst open, with fat being squeezed out, the yellowish fat mixing with the blood.
But there wasn’t a particularly large amount of bleeding.
"You’re okay for the moment. In your condition, you need to be transported on a stretcher. Don’t worry, I’m a doctor. Try to stay calm and wait for someone to carry you onto the ambulance," Lu Cheng said calmly.
"Help me." He was genuinely scared out of his wits.
Lu Cheng ignored him.
He turned and walked towards another person!
Lu Cheng had seen the scene of the incident. This woman had been hit by the corner of a car and knocked flying, falling unconscious as soon as she landed.
Her left hand was completely deformed and undoubtedly fractured.
She must have rolled over the ground many times, being covered in soil and having many scratches on her face. Her eyes were tightly closed, breathing shallow.
Beneath her skirt, copious blood slowly seeped down.
The pulse was thin and fast, an evident sign of approaching shock.
At the scene, no other personnel were involved in the rescue, but a volunteer had immediately brought a medical box and was opening it at this moment.
Two policemen stood nearby. Having assisted the relatively less injured patients to walk away from the primary scene, they temporarily didn’t know what to do!
"Officer, could you please give me the medical box?" Lu Cheng called out.
"Okay!" One of them immediately approached, holding the medical box with both hands.
Lu Cheng first saw the gloves inside the box.
As the onlooking crowd was pushed further away by the police, Lu Cheng couldn’t afford to mind any privacy considerations and directly lifted the girl’s skirt to observe the wound.
Sure enough, he saw that when the girl’s right leg was flipped over, there was a long and deep trench-like cut on the inner front of her thigh, likely caused by hitting something sharp.
Lu Cheng disregarded wearing any gloves, directly taking out the hemostatic forceps to search for the femoral artery amid the disorganized tissue.
With such a wound at this location and such a bleeding volume, the issue was definitely with the femoral artery. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Lu Cheng acted quickly, and before long, he had precisely clamped two hemostatic forceps onto the femoral artery location.
However, this hemostasis did not awaken the woman.
Lu Cheng looked back again at the girl’s breathing and features.
Her nostrils and mouth were tinged with blood, which reminded Lu Cheng of something. He immediately pried open her lips!
Sure enough, he saw a lot of blood clots in her mouth. Given this bleeding amount, her airway was likely blocked by blood clots.
If the blood had been spat out in the first instance, it wouldn’t have led to airway closure.
Lu Cheng hurriedly used the hemostatic forceps from the emergency box to begin clearing the blood clots in her mouth.
However, the cleaning was slow, and not very smooth.
Watching as her lips and fingers changed color, turning pale to cyanotic, Lu Cheng finally couldn’t care less.
He immediately tore open the debridement package from the medical box and took out a blade to perform an on-site tracheotomy!
Lu Cheng’s actions were swift, determined, and forceful.
To onlookers, it even seemed somewhat brutal.
First flipping over the wound on the woman’s thigh, then violently prying open her mouth to scoop out the blood, and now directly taking the blade to her neck, it resembled murder.
However, after Lu Cheng revealed his professional identity as a doctor, the police understandably did not intervene.
The onlooking crowd began to voice their doubts, the sound gradually growing but not yet forming an escalated disturbance.
Finally, as Lu Cheng cut open her trachea, the woman’s chest began to heave intensely!
The "roaring" sound of airflow and airway turbulence didn’t cease.
The woman’s expression turned somewhat painful, but Lu Cheng knew this indicated her oxygen saturation was beginning to recover.
Just then, some medical personnel finally arrived on the scene, coming from the 120 emergency vehicle in the distance.
Immediately upon seeing them, Lu Cheng shouted, "The airway obstruction case, I’ve performed a tracheotomy, bring a tracheal tube."
The medical personnel, all professionals, noticed the bloody clots at the woman’s mouth and immediately understood what had happened, springing into action: "Tracheotomy kit! Tracheotomy kit!"
The arriving medical personnel didn’t come as a single group but divided into various teams as they entered the scene.
Lu Cheng continued, "The young man to my right has a leg injury, he’s conscious, with stable vital signs. You can address others first."
Mu Nanshu’s actions were a bit slower. She had only checked one person’s vital signs: "The one I’m checking has closed trauma, but is in a coma, possibly with cranial injury."
"Thank you for your hard work." A person in green approached: "Which unit are you from?"
Lu Cheng replied, "I’m Lu Cheng from the Emergency Department of Long County People’s Hospital, just happened to be here with my girlfriend for fun!"
