Chapter 333 Stroke First Aid
“Help, please help me, old man, old man, don’t scare me.”
Zhang An was in the Taoist temple, asking Zhang and his party for advice on what they had saved recently question, I heard a loud noise coming from outside.
As soon as Zhang Yi Xing and Zhang An heard the call, they felt something was wrong and ran outside quickly.
“Woof~woof~~”
When the two of them just went out, the black man in the yard started roaring towards the door.
Because at this time, five or six young people came in from the door accompanied by an old lady and carried an old man
In addition to the people who helped to carry people, there were also many tourists following them. Behind it, a lot of the yard was taken up at once.
Everyone who was offering incense in Sanqing Hall quickly finished offering the incense in their hands and ran out to see what was going on.
Maybe it was an emergency. The old lady had an anxious look on her face, she was already crying, and she looked at a loss.
"Everyone, what happened to this old gentleman?"
Seeing everyone carrying the old man into the yard, Zhang Yixin and Zhang An quickly stepped forward to help and asked about the situation.
"Taoist priest, this old man suddenly fainted, as if he had a stroke. The outside is not flat at all. We carried the person in first."
At this time, among the people who were helping , an older man who looked a little experienced hurriedly said.
Judging from his appearance, he must have seen a stroke patient, otherwise he would not know this.
Seeing this, Zhang An quickly turned back to the house and carried out the two-meter large desk.
Everyone was very surprised when they saw this. Such a large solid wood desk, which weighed more than 200 kilograms at least, was carried out lightly.
And when they looked at Zhang An, his face was neither red nor out of breath, and he seemed to be doing it without any effort at all.
"Quickly, put the person down on it first. Don't touch the ground. The head should be slightly higher than the heart."
After hearing Zhang An's words, everyone immediately came back to their senses. Come here, lift the old man and put him on the desk.
Especially after being reminded by Zhang An, several elder brothers in the crowd immediately took off their cotton-padded clothes.
Put it on the head of the old man and give him a pillow.
“Don’t worry, everyone, let me take a look first.”
When Zhang Jianwen heard this, he immediately stepped forward to check on the old man’s condition.
"It is indeed a stroke. Let's spread out a little bit. People are crowded here and there is no ventilation."
When everyone heard Zhang Yi Xing's words, they all dispersed and did not gather together. .
But they were surprised again when they saw Zhang Yixing's diagnosis.
This old Taoist priest with a plain appearance is actually a doctor?
Seeing Zhang and his party preparing for diagnosis and treatment, everyone had no doubts and felt a little relieved.
After all, in this day and age, only the county has a hospital in a place like this.
Even in the town, there is only one health room that can prescribe medicine, injections and water.
Stroke is a very scary disease in this era, especially in remote areas.
Especially in places far away from hospitals, once the disease occurs, most people die because of missed rescue time.
Now that there is someone who can treat diseases, even if it is a barefoot doctor, everyone feels that it is better than nothing.
Of course, this is not an era where you would be blackmailed if you were enthusiastic about helping others.
After all, the current social morality is still in a good state, otherwise no one would have dared to reach out enthusiastically to help carry the old man in.
"Zhang An, please come and take a look."
While diagnosing the old man's condition, Zhang and his party called Zhang An to their side.
Although Zhang An studied medicine with Zhang and his party, it was not in hospitals or clinics after all, and there was little clinical practice on weekdays.
When this happened today, he also planned to let Zhang An learn from it.
"Sister-in-law, has this happened to our old man?"
"No, no, the old man has never had this happen before. He just often feels dizzy and tinnitus, and occasionally his hands and feet are numb, and he is a little limp. "
The old lady and the old man who had fainted were obviously from the city. When they spoke, they all used some key words.
"We thought that the old man was in poor health and lacked exercise, so we thought of going out for a walk and doing some activities. Who would have thought that it would turn out like this."
The old lady was talking. , became a little choked, Zhang Yi Xing nodded, indicating understanding.
Zhang An followed Zhang Yixing, and when Zhang Yixing took his pulse, he also made a simple diagnosis.
The old man suddenly fainted and fell to the ground five minutes ago, unconscious, with phlegm in his throat.
At this time, his face was pale, his hands were clenched, and his jaw was clenched.
Looking at the eyes again, the pupils are obviously narrowed, and the eyes, mouth and nose on the face are obviously skewed.
"Xiao'an, this is due to the deficiency of kidney yin and excessive liver yang, causing the phlegm to flow upward and obscure the clear orifices."
After a few minutes, Zhang and his party completed the pulse diagnosis and concluded the diagnosis, and said to Zhang An beside him.
Everyone around me recognized these words, but when they were put together, they didn’t know what they meant.
But it doesn’t matter, because Zhang Yi Xing told Zhang An, and it doesn’t matter whether others understand or not.
After listening to Zhang Yixing’s argument, Zhang An felt somewhat clear in his heart.
Deficiency of kidney yin and hyperactivity of liver yang actually means that the elderly are in a state of deficiency of yin and excess of fire and excess of liver yang.
This leads to symptoms such as soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, insomnia and forgetfulness, hot flashes and night sweats, five upset stomachs and fever.
The old lady just said that the old man usually suffers from numbness in his hands and feet, occasional limpness, dizziness and tinnitus. This is the reason.
Maybe there are other situations in daily life, but because I am older, I think it is normal.
"How do you think this disease should be treated?"
Zhang Yixing already knew the old man's condition.
While making other diagnoses, he asked Zhang An and started teaching.
“We should first subdue the yang and extinguish the wind, relieve the phlegm and open the orifices, and then perform first aid with acupuncture.”
“If bleeding occurs when Shixuan is acupuncture, remove Hegu, Taichong and Quchi from both sides. Using the purgative method, the three points of Fenglong, Sanyin and Renzhong are used to flatten and relieve diarrhea. Leave the needle for a moment and the effect will be seen. "
Zhang An thought for a moment and spoke after a few seconds.
After reading so many medical books, Zhang An already has thousands of cases in his mind.
When I study and ask for advice from Zhang Yixing on weekdays, I have already understood everything.
When he was being investigated now, Zhang An only thought about it briefly and already found a way to deal with it.
The old man himself has a strong deficiency of fire, the liver yang is reversed, and the liver yang is relatively strong. If he wants to treat it, he must first purge the fire and subdue the yang.
After all, Chinese medicine pays attention to the treatment of incurable diseases. It does not mean that you can directly treat any disease when you see it. You must first strengthen it.
“Not bad, but it doesn’t take a quarter of an hour to leave the needle in. I think five to ten minutes will be enough.”
Zhang and his party were very satisfied with Zhang An's ability to speak out so quickly.
"You are already very skilled at inserting needles. I will get the needle and you do it."
Zhang Yi Xing planned to take out the silver needle and let Zhang An do it himself to add some more experience. Zhang An is already proficient in acupuncture techniques, and he pricks himself frequently.
Now that he knows so much about diagnosis and treatment, Zhang and his party are very relieved to leave it to him.
And he was watching from the side, so it was impossible for anything to happen.
"Godfather, no need, I brought the needle here."
When Zhang An and his party were about to go back to the house to get the silver needle, Zhang An said.
When moving the tables and chairs just now, Zhang An had already taken the needle box out of the space.
“Hey, you keep this needle with you all the time.”
"No, when I practiced acupuncture in the morning, I kept it on my body and didn't take it off."
Zhang and his party were even more satisfied after hearing that Zhang An practiced acupuncture every morning.
For emergencies such as stroke, the faster the treatment, the better the patient’s recovery and prognosis.
The longer it is delayed, the worse the treatment effect will be, and cerebral thrombosis will easily form over time, which will make it really difficult to save.
Although Zhang and his party had been teaching Zhang An just now, they did not stop.
So Zhang An took out the needle box, took out a three-edged needle and started bleeding.
Shixuan bloodletting is a very common method in first aid in traditional Chinese medicine.
The Shixuan point is between the ten fingers of the human body, about 0.1 inches away from the nail seam. The left and right points add up to a total of ten acupoints, which are called Shixuan.
It is often used to treat acute coma or fever. The effect is relatively good, but Shixuan bloodletting is more painful.
It is mostly used on comatose patients. Most people who are conscious will not use it because it is really painful. If you don’t believe it, just prick it yourself.
Bloodletting at the Shixuan point took more time. Seeing Zhang An's skill in applying acupuncture, Zhang and his party also took out a three-edged needle and started doing it together.
After a while, Shi Xuan finished bleeding and Zhang An began to administer first aid with acupuncture.
Seeing how young Zhang An was, the old lady was a little worried, with a very worried look on her face.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Xiao An has a solid foundation and is already very proficient in his techniques. And I'm watching from the side. Nothing will happen."
Zhang and his party noticed that the old lady Feeling uneasy, he smiled and comforted her.
"Your old man has an emergency. As long as the syndrome is correct and the symptoms are correct, it is very easy to treat. He will wake up in about ten minutes."
In traditional Chinese medicine, emergencies are often the easiest to treat. On the contrary, chronic diseases that may not kill you immediately but keep dragging you down are the most dangerous.
During treatment, you have just cured one problem, but another problem appears again.
"Then I'll trouble the Taoist priest and the little brother."
Maybe it's because Zhang and his party are approachable, and their tone of voice is also very confident.
So the nervous old lady gradually put down the uneasiness on her face and slowly waited for Zhang An to perform the acupuncture.
After the acupuncture was completed, just as Zhang Yixing said, it took less than ten minutes.
The old man, who had been unconscious just now and clenched his teeth, suddenly groaned and his teeth became loose.
After a few minutes, the old man's clenched hands slowly loosened and he gradually regained consciousness.
But because I just fainted, my pupils are not adapted to the light yet, so my eyes are still closed.
"Old man, you finally woke up. Do you know that you scared me to death?"
The old lady cried immediately when she saw that her old man had woken up.
After hearing this, the old man lying on the desk opened his eyes a little and looked at the old lady.
He didn’t say anything, but the old lady’s hand was squeezed a little tighter, indicating that he knew.
This was Zhang An’s first time giving first aid with acupuncture. He had little experience yet. Seeing that the old man had woken up, he wanted to get the needle.
"Xiao An, don't take out the needle yet, keep the needle for ten minutes."
Seeing Zhang An was about to take out the needle, Zhang Yixing stopped him.
"Why is this? Isn't the person already awake?"
Zhang An was puzzled because the old man had already woken up and the first aid effect had been achieved.
"Although the patient is awake, the effect of our acupuncture is still continuing. It is not impossible to remove the acupuncture at this time, but the efficacy will be greatly reduced."
One old and one young, just asked this question As soon as he answered, Zhang Yixing explained every question to Zhang An very patiently.
This time Zhang An understood. In other words, taking the needle now would waste the effect of the treatment.
"Taoist Master, is our old man still very serious? Is this the only way he will be like this in the future?"
Seeing that the old man has not spoken, the old lady thought that her old man was He asked very worriedly as he would always be like this from now on.
Because in this era, some people who received prompt treatment after a stroke ended up paralyzed.
"Old sister-in-law, the patient is out of danger now, but his energy has not recovered yet. It will be fine if he recovers in a while."
Zhang Yixing still had that peaceful smile on his face.
Although stroke is very dangerous, this old man’s condition is not very serious.
In addition, when he fainted, he was caught by everyone and did not fall to the ground, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
And he fainted immediately, Zhang and his party came over for diagnosis and treatment. Even if Zhang An was asked to do it, the entire first aid process did not take more than ten minutes.
Even the golden rescue time was not used up, so not only was this old man rescued, but he also had no serious sequelae.
"Taoist priest and this little brother, thank you, thank you for saving our old man, and thank you all for your timely action, thank you."
The old lady saw that her old man woke up After arriving, Zhang and his party also said they were out of danger.
They had to kneel down to thank Zhang An, Zhang and his party.
"Old lady, you can't do this. If anyone can help with this kind of thing, everyone will definitely help. You can't do this, our life will be shortened."
The old lady is so old, anyone who dares to accept this gift from her will lose their life.
When Zhang An saw this, he immediately leaned away, and then quickly supported the old lady without letting her kneel down.
"Yes, grandma, everyone helps each other when we go out. Please stop doing this."
"Yes, yes, grandpa, nothing is a good thing."
For a moment, Zhang An looked at the scene in front of him, with a bright smile on his face.
It’s better to live in this era, everyone’s thoughts are still very pure.
Although there are some bad people, their thoughts are not bad enough to muddy the water.
Unlike the unpredictability of people in later generations, Justice Wang Hao will come out and give you an eternal quatrain about why you should save people unless you bump into them.
"Thank you... thank you... thank you... you..."
After waiting for about ten minutes, the old man's spirit has improved a lot. .
And he was able to speak. Zhang Yixin responded with a smile before taking his pulse again.
