Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 50 Suffocation
"Xiao Ling, that person should be..."

Nagai Miko tugged at the corner of Koizumi Ling's clothes beside her.

"Yes, it's the one who saved us two before... I don't think I know his name yet." Koizumi Ling nodded.

Nagai Miko was a little hesitant: "Should we go up and say hello to him? After all, he saved us before... but he doesn't seem to have any intention of chatting with us."

This was indeed the right thing to do from a courtesy perspective, but Yang Liu was so huge that she felt a little scared out of instinct.

"It's better to go and say hello. At least I know his address and can thank him formally later..."

Before Koizumi Ling finished her words, she was suddenly stunned and looked up at the sky.

"What's wrong?" Nagai Yako noticed the changes in her classmate.

Koizumi Ling's eyes kept flashing, as if she was looking for something in the sky. Soon, she turned her head and followed "something" to look at a family of three who were shopping in front of a store on the other side.

"Nagai-san..."

"Yes?"

"Call an ambulance!"

"Ugh?!"

Nagai Miko was stunned: "Is there a patient? Where is he?"

"It's right here. It will be there in a moment."

After saying that, Koizumi Ling turned around and prepared to walk towards the family of three.

Through what happened last time, Nagai Miko also knew that her friend had some special abilities. She did not doubt her words, but she was still a little embarrassed:
"At least tell me the type, otherwise the hospital won't send an ambulance!"

"Type... that location spreads from the trachea to the chest cavity... it's suffocation! Tell them someone is suffocating because of the dumpling!"

Looking at the skewer of dumplings in the child's hand, Koizumi Ling said something without looking back and walked over quickly.

"Ah, yes, I know!"

Without hesitation, Nagai Yako took out her cell phone and started calling the hospital.

Fortunately, this place is in the city center, with all kinds of private and public hospitals. After receiving a call for help, the ambulance will arrive in about six or seven minutes.

“Six or seven minutes is too long!”

On the other side, Koizumi Ling had already made a judgment in her mind.

If her judgment was correct, the child would then suffer from suffocation due to tracheal obstruction.

The golden rescue time for suffocation is five minutes. As the saying goes, "time is brain". If you delay too long, even if the person is rescued by chance, the brain may suffer permanent damage.

But even so, Koizumi Ling did not rush to call out to the other party.

After having her special abilities for so long, she has come to understand a lot of things. Sometimes, yelling cannot solve the problem. Sometimes, her yelling is even the trigger that causes the problem to happen, causing the victim to become hostile to her.

The reason why she lost her composure before was because it involved two friends she had made with great difficulty, and no matter how she guided them, they would not change their minds, so she had no choice but to quarrel.

However, Koizumi Ling did not notice that Yang Liu was approaching her silently like a ghost.

With Yang Liu's five senses, although the two parties were very far away, he could hear the conversation between Koizumi Ling and the other person very clearly.

Out of curiosity, he briefly interrupted his experience gaining behavior and followed.

Before Koizumi Ling and Yang Liu could get close, there was a commotion ahead.

The child had just happily taken a bite of the dumpling, but because he was eager to talk to his parents, he suddenly felt suffocated and scratched his neck involuntarily.

Looking at his appearance, his parents beside him had not yet reacted and thought he was just choked.

After reaching out and patting the child a few times, I found that the symptoms did not ease, and the child even struggled more and more. Only then did I realize the seriousness of the matter. "We can't do this!"

A tall figure flashed by and snatched the child from the two men.

Koizumi Ling picked up the child, pinched both sides of the child's cheekbones with one hand, let the child lie face down on her half-kneeling knees, and then patted his back quickly with the other hand.

After patting him several times and finding it was of no use, I put the child back on the ground, kneeled behind him, and used both hands to quickly thrust upwards and compress his abdomen.

"It's useless..."

Yang Liu watched Koizumi Ling's rescue from the side, but frowned.

Strictly speaking, Koizumi Ling's rescue method was very standard, it was the standard Heimlich maneuver.

The former is a posture for children, and the latter is for adults, but it is obvious that neither can squeeze out foreign objects stuck in the other person's airway.

There are two reasons. One is that the child ate skewers of dumplings.

This is a classic Japanese confectionery, a glutinous rice dumpling without filling made from glutinous rice flour, so it has the common characteristic of glutinous rice products - high viscosity.

Another reason is that the child is too young.

The principle of the Heimlich maneuver is to quickly squeeze the remaining gas in the chest cavity to form an airflow, thereby squeezing out foreign objects in the airway or throat.

The child's body has not yet developed, the chest cavity volume is too small, and the amount of residual air is insufficient to squeeze out the sticky glutinous rice ball.

Seeing that the child had shown signs of unconsciousness due to prolonged lack of oxygen, and his face and mouth were quickly turning purple, Yang Liu walked forward with a frown.

"Since the Heimlich maneuver doesn't work, the measure that should be taken at this time is... cricothyroidotomy!"

The so-called cricothyroid membrane puncture, to put it simply, is a method of cutting the trachea and delivering oxygen to the lungs directly from the trachea without passing through the oral and nasal cavities.

This is an emergency treatment technology. Although it will make subsequent treatment troublesome, it can at least save the patient's life.

"But there are two problems... I don't have any tools!" Yang Liu looked around for something that could be used.

The most suitable tool for this method is a needle, which can finely puncture the trachea and has a built-in aperture to transport air. If this doesn't work, you can also use a sharp blade.

Unfortunately, neither of these two willows exists.

The saber in his hand became the size of a toy and its sharpness also became toy level. Moreover, Yang Liu did not dare to use this thing. In case the secondary explosion of the saber was triggered, it would not be saving people but killing people.

As for the second question, it was also very simple. Yang Liu was not sure about the child.

Since it is about saving lives, we must accurately puncture the trachea and avoid damaging other parts as much as possible.

It's easier for adults, as there's plenty of room for maneuver, but now the target is children of four or five years old, whose necks are not even as thick as Yang Liu's wrists.

In this way, it is very troublesome to confirm the position of the cricothyroid membrane, and a slight deviation may cause serious consequences.

"Who has a sharp blade?"

While thinking this in her mind, Yang Liu had already shouted out subconsciously.

The pedestrians watching were all stunned, but the owner of a nearby shop reacted and took out a long and thin kitchen knife from the kitchen and handed it over:

"Is this ok?"

Yang Liu compared the width of the kitchen knife to the child's neck, and said with a twitch of her face: "Let me try..."

Yang Liu's voice also alarmed Koizumi Ling who was trying to rescue people. She looked up and was stunned when she saw the kitchen knife in Yang Liu's hand.

Although she immediately knew what Yang Liu was thinking, looking at the embarrassed expression on Yang Liu's face, Koizumi Ling also knew his difficulties.

Looking up and around, Koizumi Ling's eyes suddenly lit up:
"No, I have a way!"
