Chapter 180 Rescue someone from drowning

The inner city of the capital is separated by a moat, thus dividing it into the inner city and the outer city.

The moat is more than ten feet wide, sparkling like a jade belt surrounding the entire capital. The water is clear, almost to the bottom, with fish swimming and playing, and people feeding the fish from time to time. Occasionally, egrets fly over the water, leaving a string of ripples.

The moat is wide and large, and during festivals, lanterns and cruise ships can be seen everywhere.

Now, there are only seven days left until the day of the Medical Competition. All the doctors who are supposed to participate in the Medical Competition have arrived. The Medical Competition is a grand event in the capital.

The capital city is even more lively today than during festivals.

The streets and alleys of the capital are crowded with people and bustling during the day.

At night, the lanterns in the shops are hung high, colorful, reflecting the prosperity of the night. In the streets and alleys, the hawkers' cries are heard one after another, and all kinds of snacks and specialties are dazzling.

The moat is full of cruise ships, and at night the lanterns are bright. The cruisers drink or sing, enjoying this rare event. The colorful lanterns are reflected on the river, making the entire capital even more beautiful.

However, just as Xu Qingyi and the other two passed by the moat.

"Oh no, the boat in the moat capsized."

"Someone fell into the water."

"Go and save people quickly."

Accompanied by screams, a wooden boat in the moat capsized at some point, and all the people on board fell into the water, struggling to swim to the shore.

Seeing this, Xu Qingyi and the other two immediately quickened their pace and rushed to the scene. When they arrived at the river, they saw a crowd of people on the river, many of whom were shouting anxiously on the shore, trying to help the drowning person.

When they arrived at the scene, it was already crowded with people watching the excitement, and they could hear bursts of noise from people watching the fun.

"Someone fell into the water and died."

"So many people fell into the water, and they died in such a short time. This girl is really unlucky."

"With Doctor Hua treating her, and Doctor Xiao Cui and Doctor Xiao Wu assisting, I think this girl will not die."

There was a constant stream of discussion among the crowd, full of concern and curiosity. As they talked, they craned their necks to look toward the river, wanting to find out what was going on.

In the inner circle, Doctor Hua was already busy on the shore. She skillfully unwrapped the package, took out silver needles, and inserted several needles into the drowning woman's philtrum, perineum, Baihui, Danzhong and other acupuncture points.

Doctor Xiao Cui and Doctor Xiao Wu were helping on the side, some passing things, some maintaining order and trying not to let the crowd get too close.

After acupuncture, Dr. Hua finally pressed hard on the woman's abdomen, trying to drain the water from her body.

"Her breathing and heartbeat have not recovered. Her pulse is barely visible." After rescuing her for more than ten breaths, Cui Liang, who was always paying attention to the breathing of the drowning woman, said with a gloomy face.

As a doctor, he knew that although the drowning woman was young, she had been drowning for too long and was physically weak. If her heartbeat and breathing did not recover within a short period of time, it would be difficult to save her life.

"Make way, we are doctors and we can save the drowning people." Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan, who rushed over, also heard the noise of the people who were watching the excitement. They looked at each other and saw the anxiety in each other's eyes.

They both knew that the life of the drowning person was in danger and must be rescued as soon as possible. In ancient times, there were not many ways to rescue a drowning person who was not breathing, and there was no artificial respiration or cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation are the best means to save drowning people who have no breathing or heartbeat, and can even bring them back to life.

Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan quickly squeezed into the crowd and saw a young girl lying on the ground. She was wearing a light blue long skirt with delicate patterns embroidered on the hem. She looked fresh and elegant. It was obvious at first glance that she was a lady from a wealthy family.

But at this moment, she closed her eyes, her face was as pale as paper, and she was lying on the ground like a rag doll.

Three people, one woman and two men, were rescuing a drowning person. They had inserted several silver needles on several acupuncture points on the body. There were also several wet maids and servants beside them.

"There's no pulse. We tried our best." After trying to rescue him for dozens of breaths, Hua Rong was still unable to restore the man's breathing and heartbeat. She said with an unpleasant look on her face.

"Doctor Hua, please save my young lady. She is getting engaged this year and will be married next year.

Please save my young lady, she is still young. "At this time, the maid next to her heard that her young lady had no pulse. After Doctor Hua tried his best, she knelt down crying and begged Hua Yuedao.

"Let me take a look." Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan squeezed in. Without saying a word, they knelt down on the left and right of the drowning girl.

Xu Qingyi gently lifted the girl's wrist, took her pulse, and checked her breathing and heartbeat.

However, Bai Yan stepped forward to check if there was any debris, mud, water plants or the like in the mouth and nose of the drowning girl, and then tilted her head to one side.

After the two of them finished checking, Xu Qingyi said, "There is no pulse, breathing, or heartbeat."

"There's still hope. I'll do CPR and you do artificial respiration." Bai Yan acted very quickly. Every second counted. She placed the base of one hand on the center of the drowning girl's sternum and her other hand on top of the first, cross-stacked them, and used her body weight to press straight down on the chest, making sure that the chest fully rebounded after each compression, and then quickly pressed again.

Xu Qingyi's reaction was also not slow. She placed one hand on the drowning girl's forehead and pinched her nostrils with her thumb and index finger. With the other hand, she held her chin to tilt her head back as far as possible to keep her airway open. Then she took a deep breath, opened her mouth to close the area around the drowning girl's mouth, and blew air into her mouth twice in succession. Each time Xu Qingyi blew for more than one breath, until the chest cavity rose. She stopped blowing, then released the patient's mouth and relaxed the hand pinching her nostrils. When the patient finished exhaling, she started the same breath again, and repeated it over and over again.

"Are they doctors too?"

"What are they doing?"

"Is this how you save people?"

If Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan were men, and they were rescuing a drowning woman in this way, people who didn't know the situation would think they were molesting the "corpse" of the drowning girl.

"What are you doing? This man's breathing, heartbeat and pulse have been stopped for dozens of breaths. There is no way to save him." Cui Liang saw that if it was a man, he would have stopped them long ago. At this moment, he frowned and said to Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan.

"If the heartbeat, pulse and breathing only stop for a few dozen breaths, then the chances of saving the person are greater.

Don't say anything, just watch from the side." Bai Yan heard it, without raising her head, and didn't listen to the hand pressing CPR.

"You......." Cui Liang was about to say something when he was stopped by Wu Shang.
