Fake death, also known as fake death.

And this fake death is not death in the end, but "living very weakly".

During the NDE, if a person's breathing, circulation, and brain function are highly inhibited, and the vital activities are in an extremely weak state, it will be difficult to find vital signs by routine clinical examination methods such as testing the pulse and heartbeat, and checking breathing.

If first responders are inexperienced and not careful enough, they are prone to premature fatal physical evidence of death.

Just like now, Lin Xinyi almost thought that the poisoned lady was really dead-

There is no way to do this, his patients generally do not need to be saved, and first aid is basically a dragon-slaying skill that he can't use even if he learns it.

And fake death is extremely rare, and Lin Xinyi has never encountered it.

Coupled with the fact that he didn't know much about the toxicology of tetrodotoxin, he didn't think about suspended animation at all when he saw the poisoned lady's pupils dilated and her breathing stopped.

was reminded by Shihoichi Miyano, Lin Shinichi immediately reacted:

"Mirror, Miss Maori, you should have a vanity mirror with you, right?"

"Hmm." Mao Lilan hurriedly took out a small mirror from his satchel, handed it over, and asked with some confusion, "What is this for?" ”

"Check to see if she's breathing."

"People who fake their death breathe very weakly, and they may not be able to feel it with their hands, but that doesn't mean they don't have it at all."

Lin Xinyi answered Mao Lilan's doubts.

Then, with his hands and feet, he picked up the mirror and gently placed it in front of the nostrils of the poisoned lady, who had "stopped breathing".

Soon, a foggy mist appeared on the mirror.

"And breathing!" Lin Xinyi suddenly became excited:

The mist on the mirror showed that the lady was only breathing very weakly, and not completely stopped.

Although I can't feel it with my hands, the mirror can catch the thin mist of water between the weak air currents.

She was alive, and she lived extremely weakly.

Don't underestimate such a faint breath.

In the case of complete cessation of breathing, more than 6 minutes can lead to irreversible death of brain tissue.

But with such a faint breath, one might be able to survive 10 minutes, 15 minutes, or even longer.

If the life is hard enough, the patient may even survive suspended animation on his own, just like those myths and stories mentioned in "death and resurrection".

"What's next?"

Confirming that the lady was still saved for the time being, Lin Shinichi hurriedly asked Miyano Shiho's opinion.

He had already understood that Shiho Miyano knew more about tetrodotoxin than he did.

"Continue to do artificial respiration, and heart compressions."

"It will stabilize the situation, but the situation is still dangerous."

Shiho Miyano said in a calm tone:

"After all, there is no antidote to tetrodotoxin, and we don't know exactly how much this woman took."

"If you accidentally eat poisonous puffer fish meat, you need to use a gastric lavage machine to thoroughly wash your stomach, use a ventilator to maintain breathing, and adrenaline to stabilize the sharply reduced blood pressure..."

"In short, without hospital equipment and medicines, people may still die if they can't get professional treatment as soon as possible."

"I see."

"Miss Maori, you go to the hospital and ask when the ambulance will arrive."

Lin Xinyi immediately assigned Mao Lilan the task of contacting the hospital.

Immediately afterwards, he continued to turn around and give artificial respiration and heart compressions to the poisoned lady who faked her death to help her live as long as possible.

"This..."

Seeing Lin Xinyi, Mao Lilan, and Shiho Miyano saving scenes with sharp actions and professional means...

The husband of the poisoned lady, the middle-aged man who had just opened the door and called for help, said with a subtle expression:

"My wife... Can it be saved? ”

"See if the ambulance is coming fast enough."

"Of course, it also depends on the dose of tetrodotoxin your wife ingests."

"If she doesn't take a lot of tetrodotoxin herself, then, with a bit of luck, she might be able to survive on her own."

Shiho Miyano explained a few words indifferently.

Then, suddenly, she turned her head again and glanced coldly at the man:

"Excuse me, what do you call it?"

"Yuda, just call me Yuda."

The middle-aged man who called himself Yuda squeezed out a smile on his ugly face: "Is there a problem?" ”

"I want to ask, how much puffer fish meat did your wife eat?"

"The signs of her poisoning look a little terrible."

Shiho Miyano's voice was always steady.

It's like a beautiful girl's voice version of the robot, so people can't hear the emotions inside.

Mr. Yuda was stunned for a moment, and after a moment's consideration, he pointed to the puffer fish hot pot on the low table, which had already been half eaten, and said:

"My wife likes to eat puffer fish, I don't like it very much."

"So I only ate a little, and this puffer fish hot pot is basically eaten by my wife."

"I didn't expect... Our luck was so bad that we were poisoned by eating puffer fish dishes. ”

As he spoke, Yuda's already pale cheeks gradually became even more bloodless.

A thin layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and his body staggered, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.

Apparently, he also appeared to be suffering from muscle paralysis and impaired movement.

But Shiho Miyano didn't care about the health of Mr. Yuda, and just continued to ask:

"When was this puffer fish hot pot delivered?"

"How long have you been eating puffer fish until now?"

"Ten, ten minutes or so," Yuda continued.

But as soon as he said these words, he covered his mouth with an ugly face.

Then, Mr. Yuda rushed out of the door, holding the trash can outside the box door and throwing up.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xinyi was attracted by such a big movement.

"It's okay, it's just a local irritation caused by tetrodotoxin acting directly on the gastrointestinal tract."

"Nausea and vomiting are normal reactions after ingesting tetrodotoxin."

"Mr. Yuda can at least move on his own now, and his breathing is normal, but he is only mildly poisoned by tetrodotoxin, and he will die."

"It seems that he was right, he just ate a little bit of puffer fish meat, so there is no danger."

Shiho Miyano still spoke so flatly, but his eyes stared thoughtfully at Mr. Yuda, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Mao Lilan, who was in charge of contacting the hospital, gave a positive answer:

"Mr. Lin Xinyi, the hospital said that the ambulance has departed, and it will arrive in about 5 minutes!"

"That's right..."

Hearing this good news, Lin Xin breathed a sigh of relief:

"It seems that this lady should be saved!"

He tried to test the poisoned lady's snort with the mirror again, and his breathing was faint but steady.

According to this momentum, coupled with the assistance of Lin Xinyi's artificial respiration and cardiac compressions, the probability that this lady will survive until the ambulance arrives should be very high.

"That's... That's great! ”

Mr. Yuda, who had just vomited violently, gently wiped the corners of his mouth and thanked him in his trembling voice:

"Thank you so much... I'm so lucky to have you all today. ”

"yes, I'm lucky."

Shiho Miyano smiled noncommittally.

She rarely smiled, but such a sudden smile made Mr. Yuda, who had never dealt with her, feel cold:

"When I was able to poison pufferfish, I happened to meet a doctor who knew how to use first aid, and I, a scholar who happened to know the pharmacology and toxicology of tetrodotoxin."

"Your wife's luck isn't ordinary."

"It's just that, Mr. Yuda, you don't have to."

Shiho Miyano smiled coldly and said meaningfully.

"Huh, hey?"

Yuda's pale cheeks twitched slightly:

"This young lady, you, what do you mean?"

"It's not interesting."

Shiho Miyano didn't seem to want to talk to Yuda at all.

She glanced at Yuda with some disgust, then turned to Mao Lilan and said:

"Miss Maori, let's make another call."

"You can call the police car too."
