【五绝】一为自缢。二为墙壁压伤。三为溺水。四为魇魅(指因惊恐或邪祟导致的昏厥)。五为产后晕厥窒息。以上情况均使用生半夏研磨成粉末,用冷水调和制成丸药,大小如小豆,塞入鼻孔中。同时用干燥的药末吹入耳内,或者用皂荚粉末吹入耳鼻。即使是死亡一天的患者,仍然可以救治。可用鸡粪炒干后调酒服用以施救。或者艾灸人中穴,患者容易苏醒。
【缢死】千万不要用刀剪切断绳索。即使是从早晨到傍晚,只要心下部位还有微温,尚可抢救。轻轻解开绳索,将患者安置在平坦处,面部朝上仰卧,头部扶正。将手足慢慢弯曲,用力堵住肛门,防止气体泄漏。一人用手揪住头发,脚踩两肩,将鸡冠血滴入。(男性患者用母鸡冠血,女性患者用公鸡冠血。)再让两人将芦苇筒(或通气的笔杆)插入耳内,不停地向耳内吹气,同时不停地按摩胸前,患者即可苏醒。如果气息不接续,击打腰部三四拳,片刻后少量给予桂枝汤或姜汤含服喂下。取一只老鹅,将香油涂抹在鹅嘴上,插入肛门内,一二小时后即可复活。
【溺死】切忌用火烘烤,以免逼迫寒气进入体内,那样就无法救治了。用一头牛,让患者腹部横向躺在牛背上,两边有人扶持策应,牵着牛慢慢行走,排出腹中之水。用老姜切片擦拭牙齿即可复活。先在口中横放一根筷子,以便排水。或者躺在铁锅上也可以排出积水。苏醒后,立即让其躺在大凳子上,后腿抬高,用盐擦拭肚脐,水自然会流出。切勿倒提患者。用苏合丸调水灌服。如果水排不出,用纸包裹皂荚粉末纳入肛门内,水就会流出。
【冻死】切忌用火烘烤。用炒热的灰装入暖囊中熨烫心口部位,冷了即更换。先温暖心脏部位,待气息恢复、眼睛睁开后,少量给予温酒和姜汤慢慢灌服,即可苏醒。
【解砒霜毒】凡是中毒者,烦躁如狂,心腹绞痛,头晕呕吐,面色青黑,四肢逆冷,六脉洪数。从饮食中摄入的较易治疗。若在空腹时饮酒醋吞服的则难救。如果在刚吃下时,急忙灌服香油一两碗,能吐出即可解毒。鲜羊血、鸭血趁温热吃一两碗,即可解毒。地浆水(方剂见伤寒门),多服用。如果吐出来再服用。(治疗此毒不必澄清,混着泥水饮用即可。)所谓洗净腹中毒,全凭地上浆。毒解之后,然后用绿豆半升(生磨成粉),加入新汲取的水搅和,去掉渣滓取汁服用。如果苏醒后一天,仍然癫狂不语的,每天煮绿豆汁冷冻后饮用,毒素排尽自然安宁。如果已经过去两三个小时,毒已深入腹中,吐不出来的,用青铅水磨制一两灌服,能够腹泻即可解毒。
【解盐卤毒】生豆浆,大量灌服。(如果没有生浆,急忙将黄豆浸湿,捣烂绞取汁液。)服下半个时辰后,再用肥皂水,或者抹墙纸的水灌服,就能吐出像脑髓一样的物质,即可生还。(切勿热吃。)或者用鲜羊血趁温热灌服,或者取活鸡去头,将颈部接在喉中灌服。(毒少用一二只,毒多用四五只。)能吐出即可生还。吐后心痛声音嘶哑的,每天调白糖汤服用,五七天后即可安宁。
[Five Types of Apparent Death] 1. Hanging. 2. Crushed by walls. 3. Drowning. 4. Yanmei (fainting caused by fright or evil spirits). 5. Postpartum fainting and suffocation. For all these conditions, use raw Pinelliae Rhizoma (Sheng Banxia) ground into powder, mixed with cold water to form pills the size of small beans, and insert them into the nostrils. Simultaneously, blow dry powder into the ears, or use Polygoni Multiflori Caulis Powder (Zao Jiao) blown into the nose and ears. Even if death has occurred for one day, it is still treatable. Chicken feces can be stir-fried until dry, mixed with wine, and administered orally to save the patient. Alternatively, moxibustion on the Renge acupoint (Ren-26) can facilitate awakening.
[Hanging] Do not cut the rope with a knife or scissors under any circumstances. Even if several hours have passed from morning to evening, as long as there is slight warmth in the epigastrium, rescue is possible. Gently untie the rope, place the patient on a flat surface, supine with face up, and keep the head aligned. Slowly flex the limbs. Firmly block the anus to prevent gas leakage. One person pulls the hair while another stands on both shoulders. Apply blood from a rooster comb (use hen's comb for males, rooster's comb for females) into the ear canal. Then, two people insert a reed tube (or a hollow pen barrel) into the ear and continuously blow air into it, while simultaneously massaging the chest continuously until the patient awakens. If breathing is irregular, strike the lower back three or four times. After a moment, administer small amounts of Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) or fresh ginger soup to hold in the mouth and swallow. Take an old goose, smear sesame oil on its beak, and insert it into the anus; the patient will revive within one to two hours.
[Drowning] Absolutely avoid using fire to dry or warm the body, as this may force cold pathogens inward, making rescue impossible. Place the patient prone across the belly of a cow, supported by attendants on both sides. Lead the cow slowly to help expel water from the abdomen. Rub the teeth with slices of fresh Zingiberis Rhizoma (Lao Jiang) to restore life. First, place a chopstick horizontally in the mouth to facilitate drainage. Lying on an iron wok can also help expel water. After regaining consciousness, place the patient supine on a large stool with the feet elevated. Rub salt into the navel (Shenque, CV-8); water will naturally flow out. Do not hang the patient upside down. Administer Suhexiang Wan (Styrax Pill) mixed with water. If water does not drain, wrap Polygoni Multiflori Caulis Powder (Zao Jiao) in paper and insert it into the anus to promote drainage.
[Freezing to Death] Absolutely avoid direct fire warming. Use ash heated in a pouch to apply heat to the precordial region; replace when cool. Warm the heart area first. Once breath returns and eyes open, slowly administer warm wine and ginger soup to awaken the patient.
[Death by Fright] Administer warm, pure alcohol orally to restore consciousness.
[Detoxification from Arsenic Poisoning] Symptoms include restlessness resembling madness, severe abdominal pain, dizziness, vomiting, cyanotic complexion, cold extremities, and surging, rapid pulses. Poisoning via food/drink is easier to treat than ingestion on an empty stomach with wine/vinegar. If caught early, urgently administer one to two bowls of sesame oil; inducing vomiting resolves the toxicity. Consume one to two bowls of fresh sheep blood or duck blood while warm to detoxify. Drink Di Jiang Shui (Earth Slurry Water) (see Shanghan section for formula); take in large quantities. If vomited, take again. Clarification is not necessary; muddy water can be drunk. "To wash away the poison in the belly, rely entirely on earth slurry." After detoxification, use half a sheng of Mung Bean (Lv Dou), ground raw into powder, mixed with fresh well water, strained, and the juice administered. If the patient remains delirious and mute after one day of waking, boil mung bean juice daily, chill it, and drink it; as toxins are expelled, peace will return. If two to three hours have passed and the poison has entered the intestines without being vomited, administer one to two liang of Qing Qian Shui (Lead Water) prepared by grinding Qing Qian (Galena/Lead Ore); inducing diarrhea resolves the toxicity.
[Detoxification from Brine Poisoning] Administer large amounts of raw soybean milk. (If unavailable, quickly soak yellow soybeans, mash them, and squeeze out the juice.) After half an hour, administer soap water or wallpaper paste water to induce vomiting of brain-like substances, indicating survival. (Do not consume hot.) Alternatively, administer warm fresh sheep blood, or decapitate a live chicken and insert the neck into the throat to administer the blood internally. (Use one or two chickens for mild poisoning, four or five for severe cases.) Survival is indicated by vomiting. If post-vomiting symptoms include chest pain and hoarseness, administer white sugar water daily; recovery occurs within five to seven days.
