Chapter 389 - Chapter 389 Bleeding site varies

Chapter 389: Bleeding site varies Chapter 389: Bleeding site varies He Xiangyu glanced back and saw someone trying to pull Yingying’s sleeve while she was saving someone, loudly warning, “The doctor is saving a life, don’t interfere, stand back!”

A few people immediately obeyed, retreating obediently.

Lau Jingyun couldn’t stop the young man’s bleeding with a towel, as the blood continued to flow out. Knowing she was not capable enough to handle it, she made a decision and said to her junior, “You go and do chest compressions for Yingying, let her come here!”

Turning around and running, He Xiangyu rolled up her sleeves, came to Yingying’s side, pushed her aside and took over the compressions, telling her, “You go to Jingyun, I’ve got this!”

“Second senior sister, you have to keep pressing, her heart has stopped suddenly, there’s a chance–” Xie Wanying said to her senior.

“I know, I know, unless you say stop, I won’t stop!” He Xiangyu gathered all her strength, determined to press diligently, over a hundred compressions a minute on the elderly person’s chest.

With the patient now in the hands of her second senior sister, Xie Wanying ran back to Jingyun and asked, “What’s the situation?”

“I can’t stop the bleeding!” Lau Jingyun was pressing hard on the patient’s bleeding site, pressing until her hands began to tremble, her voice quivering.

“Move over a bit, let me see where the bleeding is,” Xie Wanying said.

Lau Jingyun lacked confidence and slowly moved her hand and the towel away, the instant she exposed the wound, blood and flesh gushed out, making her instinctively want to cover it with the towel again.

Onlookers covered their faces and eyes, none daring to look: it was too frightening!

Only a surgeon could dare to look at this moment.

Having Jingyun move her hand away, Xie Wanying examined the wound thoroughly, needing to first clarify the type of injury. A head injury caused by a traumatic impact could be considered a brain injury or cranial trauma. Cranial injuries can range from scalp damage, skull damage, or damage within the skull to the brain, and the patient had one or a combination of these needing preliminary differentiation.

There were pupil reflexes present in the patient, nothing abnormal, initially determining there was no brain injury inside the skull. Human skulls are hard; without severe destruction, it’s not likely to cause skull damage. Therefore, it was probably just scalp injury.

But don’t underestimate scalp injuries, because the scalp has a rich blood supply, and bleeding can be sudden and substantial, leading to the patient going into shock.

The patient’s blood pressure had dropped, showing symptoms of pale complexion and slightly white lips. It was urgent to stop the bleeding. However, stopping bleeding on the scalp is not the same as on other parts of the skin.

The scalp has five layers, and bleeding from a scalp injury is in the subcutaneous tissue layer, not the skin layer. The richness of blood vessels in the scalp refers to the many vessels separated by fibers in this subcutaneous layer. Blood vessels in a damaged scalp can’t contract on their own, resulting in a lot of bleeding. If compression cannot stop the bleeding, aside from suturing, it might be necessary to inject medication to constrict the vessels in the scalp to stop the bleeding.

“Here they are, gauze pads!” The shop manager found the first aid kit and brought it over, finally revealing gauze pads inside.

Xie Wanying asked Jingyun to cover the wound with a gauze pad, while her own fingers compressed the surrounding scalp, confirmed visually, to stop the bleeding by cutting off the blood flow.

The crowd around held their breath as they watched, and finally, it seemed the blood was no longer gushing out continuously.

“Gauze pads and bandages,” Xie Wanying issued the command.

Someone nearby hurriedly passed her the tools. She took a gauze pad, continued pressing on the area she had been pressing firmly, then used a bandage to apply pressure and fix it in place.
