Chapter 1442: Chapter 1442: Try and Try Again
The child’s mother, sensing sothing was wrong, was so panicked she was losing control, running and shouting, “Doctor Chen, Doctor Chen, please save my daughter—”
The nurse was sweating profusely, seeing no sign of improvent in the child’s condition, she had no choice but to call out for help from others in the treatnt area: “Soone co, she’s not going to make it!”
Unfortunately, it was after work hours, and no one appeared after calling for a while. The nurse was so anxious she was about to cry.
“What’s going on?”
Finally, a voice appeared. The nurse was a bit dazed, seemingly hearing more than one person speaking.
Xie Wanying, having rushed over, rested her hands on her knees to catch her breath, looked up and saw Senior Cao hurriedly running up the stairs.
Cao Yong, carrying several bowls of noodles wrapped in plastic bags in his hands, saw the urgent situation in front of him and quickly placed the noodles casually on a chair nearby, rushing to the child in trouble.
“Give her to ,” Cao Yong said, reaching out his hand.
Just hearing the command in his voice, the nurse knew he must be a doctor, and her hands, purely by reflex, released the child.
Cao Yong lifted the child, swiftly adjusting both the child’s and his own position. His stronger right palm supported the front half of the child’s body, seeming to protect the child’s heart. Using the strength of his thigh for stabilization, he tilted the child’s head downward, placing the root of his left palm in the middle of the child’s shoulder blades for patting.
While patting, you mustn’t pat with the whole hand entirely because the child’s body is small and weak, and such impact wouldn’t work like a hamr hitting a key point. The patting intends to transmit force to the airways inside rather than to the bones or muscles. To make this external force vibrate the child’s body structure, it requires ti; thus, you shouldn’t pat wildly nonstop, but rhythmically, ideally with a one-second interval between pats.
Pat once, pause, then give a slight push at the spot you just patted. Repeat this a few tis to see the effect.
Perhaps Cao Yong’s strength exceeded that of the female nurse, because after two pats, the little girl’s throat began to emit a louder gagging sound with sothing seemingly about to erge from her throat.
While Senior was giving first aid, Xie Wanying crouched down, carefully observing the little girl’s complexion and her nasal and oral cavities, forming images in her mind to assess the situation.
How is it? Cao Yong asked with his eyes. He counted; he’d patted five tis now. If this doesn’t work, they must change tactics.
Xie Wanying furrowed her delicate eyebrows and shook her head at Senior Cao: No, just patting the back isn’t working.
Though the child’s little throat emitted a few gagging sounds, they grew weaker and fainter. It was clear that patting the back created so impact, with the airway’s vibrations attempting to move the blockage inside, but evidently, these vibrations weren’t enough to dislodge the stuck obstruction, so the child only produced ineffective retching sounds.
“What should we do?” The nurse stood up, wiping away her sweat, feeling the child’s condition was going to be very troubleso given her experienced intuition.
Patting the back was not effective. Xie Wanying assisted Senior Cao in lifting the child to change positions, holding the child’s back towards him to give Senior Cao room to operate. Cao Yong made one hand into a fist, the other hand wrapped around the fist, placing both hands between the child’s navel and chest bone. Both hands tightened simultaneously, performing an abdominal thrust. He did this rhythmically and at intervals for five tis in a row.
Xiao Sisi’s throat opened slightly, but no sound of gagging ca out, showing that the foreign object was quite stuck in the airway, unable to co out at all.
