Chapter 137: A Close Call
“Sister Wan, please go and help me get 2 raw eggs and a glass of milk.” Mo Li saw that Su He’s pupils were already dilating. They couldn’t afford to waste anymore time.
Then the crowd was shocked when they saw Mo Li pull Su He up into a standing position. First, Mo Li bowed her calves to steady herself. Then she allowed Su He to sit on her arched thighs. Hugging Su He by her waist, Mo Li leaned slightly forward.
“How professional!” As an extreme sport lover, Cai Wei knew what Mo Li was doing. This was the Heimlich Maneuver! Since Mo Li was just a high school school, Cai Wei was surprised that she could handle this incident so calmly and quickly.
Mo Li adjusted her arms to settle on Su He’s abdomen, between her navel and ribcage. Mo Li gripped her left hand into fist and grabbed her left wrist with her right hand from the front.
Mo Li tightened her arms with force and exerted massive pressure on Su He’s upper abdomen.
“Mo Li, what are you doing? You’re going to kill Sister Su He!” Ran Ya shouted angrily when she saw this.
“Xiao, Xiao He…” Seeing this, even Su He’s manager was nervous.
“She’s performing the Heimlich Maneuver, you people need to back off!” Cai Wei roared at them lest they interrupted Mo Li.
Seeing Mo Li push Su He’s upper abdomen deeper into her body, everyone was nervous.
“Gurgh!” While most had no idea what was happening, Su He suddenly regurgitated everything that was in her stomach. Ran Ya backed away immediately, afraid that the vomit would splatter onto her.
Mo Li though was unfazed by these effluence. Her hands continued with the compression, helping Su He pump everything out from her stomach.
Meanwhile An Wan returned with the milk and eggs. “We need to resolve the issue of her loss of body fluid. Sister Wan, help me feed her the half glass of milk and 2 pasteurized eggs.” Mo Li told An Wan. An Wan and Su He’s manager moved to help.
After a short while, Su He’s condition visibly improved. Color returned to her face and the symptoms of cyanosis receded.
“My God, she has really gotten better.”
“Quick, get her to the infirmary, I remember there’s an oxygen inhaler there.”
“Be careful. Be careful.”
…
Everyone moved in a flurry. Most looked at Mo Li with admiration.
“Miss Mo Li, the first aid you did was called the Heimlich Maneuver?”
“I only heard of it on tv shows before, I never saw it being applied in person until now.”
“You should teach us, we might have use for it in the future.”
“Hmph, she was only lucky. Why are you people so hurry to praise her?” Ran Ya hissed through gritted teeth. She was dissatisfied with these crew members charmed by Mo Li.
“The technique involves placing pressure on the upper abdomen so that it would cause the patient’s abdominal cavity to move up, forcing their diaphragm to rise.
“The pressure squeezes the lungs and bronchi. With more compressions, more air will collect at the trachea.”
Mo Li was glad to share her knowledge, more people knowing first aid was a good thing.
“The goal is to flush the foreign object inside the patient’s body out through the trachea. And that can be accomplished through repeated abdominal compresions.”
