When the Doctor Uses A Hack

You're a struggling young doctor, barely making ends meet with a measly $2000 monthly income. Life's pressures and trials weigh heavily upon you! But lo and behold! One fine morning, you wake up to find yourself equipped with some sort of cheat codes... You're scheduled for an appendectomy, so you roll up your sleeves and get ready to explore the abdominal terrain: You touch the cecum: "Cecum: Healthy!" You palpate the colon: "Colon: All clear!" You reach the appendix: "Appendix: It's an inflamed, pus-filled appendix monster, level 15, rare creature. Recommendation: Perform an appendectomy!" With a decisive hand, you wield your scalpel and skillfully remove the troublesome appendix. "Ding! Rare appendix monster eliminated! Rewards: +100 experience in appendectomy, +$100, and a shiny white suture needle!" And thus, your journey begins as an emergency surgeon. But remember, with great healing powers comes great responsibility!

Chapter 173: Repentance is the Most Useless Apology (Vote for Monthly Tickets~)

Generally speaking, for foreign body airway obstruction, the most commonly used method is the Heimlich maneuver.

The principle is to use an impact on the abdominal area, beneath the diaphragm's soft tissues. The sudden impact creates an upward pressure, compressing the lower part of the lungs to drive the remaining air to form a flow. This impactful and directional airflow can dislodge the object blocking the throat and save the person's life.

However, the Heimlich maneuver also has a high risk of complications and is not very effective.

The little girl's father was clearly not proficient in this operation.

By the time she was brought to the hospital, the little girl had already lost consciousness; at such a critical juncture, the Heimlich maneuver is not the most effective measure.

In the hospital, the choice of bronchoscopy and tracheotomy is much more appropriate than the Heimlich maneuver.
