Chapter 58: Foreign body obstruction

Wenjie's face turned pale when he saw this candy wrapper. This was the fruit candy he specially bought for his sister in the morning to make her happy.

Although candy is no longer a rare thing in this era, it has some fatal attraction for a three or four-year-old child.

What Wenjie didn't expect was that a seemingly inconspicuous candy could actually turn his sister into what she is now.

At this time, the girl was still in a state of extreme suffocation. She could not make a sound, her chest was rising and falling violently but she still had difficulty breathing. Gradually, her lips began to turn purple, her originally rosy face turned pale, and her whole body felt weak.

"Xiao Di, don't be afraid, brother will help you take out the candy." Wenjie comforted softly, while quickly inserting his fingers into his sister's mouth, trying to pull out the candy stuck in the throat.

But when he finally touched the candy with his fingertips, the stimulation caused by the touch put pressure on the tissue around the girl's throat, and the unbearable nausea caused the girl's throat to instinctively surge up and down.

The candy uncontrollably moved deeper again, so that Wenjie could not take out the candy no matter how hard he tried.

At this time, the sister's pale face gradually turned purple. The long-term inability to breathe caused the girl's entire body to begin to lack oxygen. Wenjie saw this and was worried.

He quickly helped his sister up and began to beat her back repeatedly with his hands, hoping to alleviate his sister's condition in this way.

But everything Wenjie did was in vain, because the candy had gone down the throat and blocked the girl's airway, and it was stuck tightly, so ordinary methods had no effect.

Wenjie was completely panicked at this time. Although he was experienced in dealing with things, he was still a half-year-old child. When he tried every means to solve the problem but could not solve it, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Wenjie, if that doesn't work, let's go to the hospital as soon as possible." At this time, people on the side began to suggest, and everyone quickly agreed.

People in the yard started to move. Some people went to push the tricycle placed in the corner, and some people went back to the house to rummage through boxes and cabinets to get money for medical treatment. Everyone had grown up watching Wenjie and Wendi, so they

He has long regarded them as his own children.

"Okay, let's go to the hospital now." Wenjie wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up Wendi who was gradually falling asleep, and was about to put her on the tricycle.

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded, "Wenjie, wait a minute, the girl cannot be sent to the hospital now."

The sudden sound made everyone's bodies freeze, and they all raised their heads to look at the unfamiliar voice.

"Brother, now is not the time for joking." The boy looked back and found that the voice that stopped him was made by Wu Xiangdong, the tenant on the second floor.

"I'm not kidding." At this time, Wu Xiangdong had already walked over quickly. He glanced at the girl in Wenjie's arms and said immediately: "Her current condition is that a foreign body has blocked the airway. If not treated urgently, over time,

As a result, the brain is damaged, and it is very likely to develop into hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and then it will be in a vegetative state, and no matter how much money you use, you will not be able to make up for it."

When he was on the second floor, Wu Xiangdong could roughly see what the girl's problem was. Now that he was closer, he was even more sure of his thoughts.

After all, foreign body obstruction is the most common accident that occurs in children under the age of six, and nearly 3,000 children die from it every year.

Foreign body obstruction is divided into complete and incomplete foreign body obstruction according to the type, and is further divided into mild, moderate and severe according to the severity.

Generally, when a partial obstruction of the airway occurs, the child can be patted on the back to encourage the child to cough on his own to relieve the obstruction. However, once the obstruction is complete, the child will not only be unable to speak or cough, but may even fall into coma in a short time due to lack of oxygen.

, at this time, on-site first aid must be carried out, and even every minute and every second seems precious.

"Are you a doctor?"

Wenjie could understand every word Wu Xiangdong said, but when they were put together, Wenjie couldn't understand anything at all.

But he was not stupid, and he instantly guessed Wu Xiangdong's identity from his words and deeds.

"I am."

At this time, Wenjie's breathing was a little short. When he saw Wu Xiangdong nodding, an invisible excitement hit his heart.

"Please, please save my sister." At this moment, Wenjie's psychological defense completely collapsed. He was no longer the mature, well-spoken real estate agent, but a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child who had not yet grown up.

"Okay, now listen to me carefully. First hold my sister's head and place her firmly on the ground without moving." Wu Xiangdong directed Wenjie while raising his head and saying to everyone present: "Who has an unused bedding?

, take it and spread it on the ground."

"I, I have, how thick of a mattress do you want?"

"I have them too. Doctor, how many quilts do you want to prepare?"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, everyone present spoke in unison. They quickly answered Wu Xiangdong's questions. Some people had even returned to the house and took out the new mattresses stored in the cabinet.

At this moment, everyone was twisted into a hemp rope, and under the command of Wu Xiangdong, they made their own efforts for the girl's safety.

"One or two mattresses will be enough. The operation I will do later may hurt the child's skin, so I need to put something on the floor to prevent it."

Wu Xiangdong explained quickly. As the quilt was spread on the floor, Wenjie had already placed the girl on it.

Due to the urgency of the matter, Wu Xiangdong directly chose to kneel down on his knees. His heavy body was supported by his knees. The moment he knelt down, there was a muffled sound on the cement floor, which made people's eyes jump.

But Wu Xiangdong didn't change his expression. He raised his head and said to Wenjie: "Come here and hold her neck. Keep her upright while I exert force, so as not to hurt her cervical spine."

"good."

Wenjie quickly handed his sister over to Wu Xiangdong's hand, then turned over and held the girl's neck with both hands.

"I'm going to use force now, so be prepared."

Wu Xiangdong straightened his body, and after saying this, he directly leaned the girl's back on his lap, and hugged the girl from behind with his hands.

At this time, Wu Xiangdong held a hollow fist in one hand and pressed the thumb side of his fist against the xiphoid process of the girl's abdomen. With the other hand, he clenched a hollow fist and quickly raised his fist upwards, impacting the girl's abdominal cavity inwards.

Once, twice, three times...

Wu Xiangdong muttered silently, and by controlling the force in his hands, he began to continuously impact the girl's abdominal cavity, quickly moving the diaphragm attached to the bottom of her lungs upward through the impact, thus compressing both lungs and generating a certain amount of airflow to impact the foreign matter blocking the girl's airway.

.

This is a method used to treat foreign body obstruction in children over 1 year old. It is called the abdominal thrust method. Of course, it also has a name, which is also the most familiar name to the public in the future, the Heimlich maneuver.

At this time, every move Wu Xiangdong made touched the hearts of everyone present, especially Wenjie, who was closest to him. At this time, tears began to flow from his eyes.

Everyone at the scene was silently blessing him, even breathing carefully, for fear of affecting Wu Xiangdong's efforts to save people.

The originally bustling courtyard was silent at this time, except for Wu Xiangdong who kept hitting the girl's abdominal cavity with the heel of his palm.

Four times, five times...

Wu Xiangdong controlled the rhythm, and with every impact, he could feel the foreign object stuck in the girl's trachea moving out.

Finally, when Wu Xiangdong started the sixth impact, a candy the size of a thumb spit out from the girl's mouth.

The candy flew far away due to the impact, and even drew an arc in the air before hitting the ground heavily and breaking into several small particles.

Then the girl who was originally drowsy suddenly started crying loudly and kept shouting her brother's name.

"Xiao Di, brother is here, are you okay?" Upon seeing this, Wenjie immediately came to his sister's side.

At this time, Wen Di's purple face and lips had recovered a lot, and her overall condition was much better. Wen Jie's heart finally fell to the ground after seeing this.
