Chapter 834: It's dark in front of you

Supreme Treasure felt that the toxins in his body had disappeared, but he felt a little uncomfortable, and he didn't take it too seriously and continued to march.

Supreme Treasure took out the electronic encyclopedia and began to look up the antidote methods for the two highly venomous snakes, the five-step snake and the silver krait.

Five-step snake, as the name suggests, folk exaggerate that after being bitten by it, it will inevitably die of poison within five steps, which shows how poisonous it is. It is known that this snake has a triangular head and gray-yellow diamond-shaped patches on its back, and is often active in damp rock walls, bushes and farmhouses. Its toxicity can be greater than that of a cobra, and it is reported that the statistical mortality rate of a five-step snake bite is close to a quarter, which means that there is still a chance of survival, just like today the Supreme Treasure cut off the soldier's calf to save his life.

However, if the bite is serious, the mortality rate is as high as 70 percent. Generally, the clinical manifestations of being bitten by a five-step snake are because it belongs to blood circulation poison, and it is also called fire poison in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is manifested as bleeding after being bitten (according to the US military report, the toxin of the sharp-nosed pit is a hemolytic toxin composed of proteins, which is strongly bleeding), and the general compression and bandaging cannot stop the bleeding, which can cause systemic poisoning and extensive bleeding throughout the body. Symptoms such as swelling, pain, tenderness, and ulceration along the affected limb may also occur locally, and in severe cases, necrosis of the affected limb may occur.

Once the affected limb is necrotic and difficult to heal, it will seriously affect the function of the affected limb and lead to a decline in the patient's quality of life, so the Supreme Treasure just made the right decision to directly cut off the lower leg of the soldier. Various complications or sequelae are also common in clinical practice, such as acute cardiac and renal insufficiency, shock, etc., and even multi-organ failure, which endangers the lives of patients.

What should be done after being bitten by a five-step snake, there are also detailed records in the encyclopedia, it is important to take effective measures to treat wounds in a timely manner, etc., and send them to the hospital for rescue as soon as possible. Although he may be a little overwhelmed, there are some things that still have to be done. In addition, it should be noted that the five-step snake is not easy to move, and the crawling speed is slow, even if it is a person, it will not crawl far, and it is necessary to prevent being bitten a second time.

In the future, the Supreme Treasure will know that even if it is impossible to distinguish whether it is bitten by a venomous five-step snake, it must not wait for the symptoms of poisoning to appear, and must be treated as a venomous snake bite to avoid delaying the condition. In addition, it is necessary for the soldiers to remember the type or characteristics of the snake and the shape of the wound, and inform the Supreme Treasure in detail, so that the Supreme Treasure can be treated in a timely and correct manner.

Because this happened so suddenly, there is still a good plan to deal with it. The initial idea of the Supreme Treasure was to set up a special anti-snake venom team, select some medically gifted soldiers, and then teach them how to deal with the wounds bitten by these poisonous snakes, and then he recorded all the treatment methods after being bitten by poisonous snakes recorded in the encyclopedia in a book, which was convenient for everyone to study.

There are a lot of things that the Supreme Treasure will explain, so let's just let everyone go to an open hill first, try not to stand in the grass, and if there is really no place to stand, sit on the armored combat vehicle. The entire PLA began to listen to the Supreme Treasure holding his specially made loud lecture on the simple method of dealing with snake venom. The first thing to explain is that when encountering a five-step snake, the patient should remain calm, do not panic and run, so as to slow down the absorption of snake venom by the human body and the transmission speed of snake venom in the human body, and reduce the systemic reaction. The wound should be treated by sitting in place or in a semi-recumbent position, with the affected limb remaining unmoved as much as possible, and keeping the wound below the level of the heart.

Ligate the wound, after being bitten by a venomous snake, it should be immediately tied at the proximal end of the wound five to ten centimeters (the side close to the heart), and some green vines should be found to tie the blood vessel circulation part without rope bands, and it should be tied tightly, without being too tight, and its degree should be based on the principle of being able to prevent venous blood and lymphatic reflux without hindering arterial circulation, and the slipknot can be left to facilitate loosening, so as to avoid the spread of snake venom to the proximal direction and slow down the diffusion rate. After that, release it every other time of incense, and each release time is about ten breaths. If the swelling of the wound expands rapidly, it is necessary to check whether it is tied too tightly, and the binding time should be shortened and the relaxation time should be increased to avoid avascular necrosis of the limbs.

It is important to note that bandages can be released after effective detoxification of local wounds or systemic antivenom. It's just that the Supreme Treasure doesn't know about the production of serum yet, and he has to study these slowly.

If fangs are found during wound irrigation, they should be removed immediately. After local flushing, routine disinfection, now there is no good disinfection environment, can only rely on the alcohol of spirits to disinfect. The wound should be rinsed immediately after ligation, and the irrigation solution can be used as normal saline, cold tea, soapy water and other liquids that can be obtained on the spot. If you don't have these supplies nearby, you can rinse the limb in a stream or pond.

Also, do not rub the wound, pat it with a cloth to allow it to dry. If the patient needs to be moved, the patient should be carried and not allowed to move on his own.

Debridement and detoxification, generally after being bitten by a poisonous snake, it is necessary to expand the wound, use a knife or a three-edged needle or other clean sharp instrument (preferably sterilized), make a longitudinal or cross-shaped incision along the wound tooth marks, about one to two centimeters long, deep under the dermis, not too deep, and cut the skin between the two poisonous tooth marks as the principle. However, if you are bitten by a five-step snake or viper, the wound will bleed and does not need to be expanded. In addition, if the bite has been more than a day or the wound has died, there is no need for invasive treatment. The wound should be cleaned immediately (after the trauma), and the half-column incense should be repeatedly pushed from the proximal end to the distal end of the wound with both hands for about a period of time to drain the poisonous blood, and the venom can also be sucked out with a breast pump or cupping. Do not suck blood through your mouth, so as not to spread the toxin from the mouth, especially if you have ulcers or tooth decay in the mouth. If you accidentally have poison in your mouth, you should spit it out immediately and rinse your mouth with white wine or water. Depending on the injury, it can be repeated every day or half a day.

Fire snake venom, snake venom is a toxic protein, can be destroyed and disinfected by matchstick burning. Stack the wound with a match head and burn it, which is suitable for snake wounds with shallow tooth marks, or bitten patients whose wounds are bleeding more than enough and should not be expanded.

You can also take fresh herbs, such as lobelia, seven-leaf flower, Houttuynia cordata, white snake grass, Xu Changqing, weeping pot grass and other fresh Chinese herbs to wash, add cold boiled water to mash the juice and take it internally, and apply the wound with medicinal residues. After more than one day, the medication is ineffective.

"What should the chairman do if he is bitten by a krait?" At this time, one of the warriors raised his hand and asked.

"Actually, the principle is the same, first of all, it is necessary to be cold...... Jing ...... "Supreme Treasure suddenly felt a black head in front of him, his body lost his balance and fell backwards, fortunately, Zheng Ze and others next to him supported him, so scared that they didn't know what to do.
