救卒死，或先病痛，或常居寝卧，奄忽而绝，皆是中死，救之方。
一方 取葱黄心刺其鼻，男左、女右，入七八寸。若使目中血出，佳。扁鹊法同。是后
吹耳条中。葛当言此云吹鼻，故别为一法。
又方 令二人以衣壅口，吹其两耳，极则易，又可以筒吹之，并捧其肩上，侧身远之，
莫临死人上。
又方 以葱刺耳。耳中、鼻中血出者莫怪，无血难治。有血是候，时当捧两手忽放之
，
须臾死人自当举手捞人，言痛乃止。男刺左鼻、女刺右鼻中，令入七八寸余，大效。亦治
自
缢死。与此扁鹊方同。

又方 取雄鸭，就死人口上断其头，以热血沥口中。并以竹筒吹其下部，极则易人，气
通下即活。
又方 取牛马粪尚湿者，绞取汁，灌其口中，令入喉。若口已噤者，以物强发之；若不
可强者，乃扣齿下；若无新者，以人溺解干者，绞取汁。此扁鹊云。
又方 以绳围其死人肘腕，男左女右，毕伸绳从背上大槌度以下，又从此灸，横行各半
绳。此法三灸各三，即起。
又方 令爪其病患人中，取醒。不者，卷其手灸下文头随年。
又方 灸鼻人中，三壮也。
又方 灸两足大指爪甲聚毛中，七壮。此华佗法。一云三七壮。
又方 灸脐中，百壮也。
扁鹊法又云 断豚尾，取血饮之，并缚 以枕之，死人须臾活。
又云 半夏末如大豆，吹鼻中。
又方 捣女背屑重一钱匕，开口纳喉中，以水苦酒，立活。
按此前救卒死四方，并后尸蹶事，并是魏大夫传中正一真人所说扁鹊受长桑公子法，
寻此传出世，在葛后二十许年，无容知见，当是斯法久已在世，故或言楚王，或言赵王，兼
立语次第，亦参差故也。

救卒死而张目及舌者。灸手足两爪后十四壮了，饮以五毒诸膏散有巴豆者。
救卒死而四肢不收，矢便者。马屎一升，水三斗，煮取二斗以洗之。又取牛洞一升，温
酒灌口中。洞者，稀粪也。灸心下一寸、脐上三寸、脐下四寸各一百壮，瘥。
若救小儿卒死而吐利，不知是何病者。马屎一丸，绞取汁以吞之。无湿者，水煮取汁。
又有备急三物丸散及裴公膏，并在后备急药条中，救卒死尤良，亦可临时合用之。凡
卒死、中恶及尸蹶，皆天地及人身自然阴阳之气，忽有乖离否隔，上下不通，偏竭所致，故
虽涉死境，犹可治而生，缘气未都竭也。当尔之时，兼有鬼神于其间，故亦可以符术而获济
者。
附方
扁鹊云，中恶与卒死鬼击亦相类，已死者为治，皆参用此方。
捣菖蒲生根，绞汁灌之，立瘥。
尸厥之病，卒死脉犹动，听其耳中如微语声，股间暖是也，亦此方治之。
孙真人治卒死方。以皂角末吹鼻中。
救治突然死亡，有的是先有病痛，有的是平时躺在床上，忽然断气，这些都是中恶而死，这是抢救的方法。
一方：取葱的黄色中心部分刺入鼻孔，男子刺左侧，女子刺右侧，深入七八寸。如果能使眼中出血，效果更佳。扁鹊的方法相同。此后用管子向耳中吹气。葛洪应当是说此法为吹鼻，所以单独列为一种方法。
又一方：让两个人用衣服堵住患者的口，向双耳吹气，吹到极限就换人，也可以用竹筒吹，同时捧住患者的肩膀，侧身远离，不要正对着死人的上方。
又一方：用葱刺耳朵。如果耳中和鼻中出血不要奇怪，不出血则难治。有血是好转的征兆，这时应当捧住双手忽然松开，一会儿死人自然会举手抓人，说痛才会停止。男子刺左鼻，女子刺右鼻，令深入七八寸多，效果极大。也治疗自缢而死。这与扁鹊的方法相同。
又一方：用绵絮浸泡在好酒中，一会儿后，放在死人的鼻中，用手按压使汁液进入鼻中，并握住其手足，不要让患者受惊。
又一方：观察其上唇内侧，如果有像黍米那样大小的白色颗粒，用针挑破去除。
又一方：取像大豆大小的皂荚，吹入双鼻中，打喷嚏则气息通畅了。
又一方：割开雄鸡的脖子取血，涂抹在面部，干了再涂，并用灰围绕死者一周。
又一方：用管子吹下部（肛门），让几个人轮流吹，气息通畅就能复活。
又一方：剖开白狗，将心拓敷在心脏部位。没有白狗，白鸡的心也可以。
又一方：取雄鸭，在死人口上切断其头，将热血滴入口中。并用竹筒吹其下部，吹到极限换人，气息通下即活。
又一方：取还湿润的牛马粪便，绞取汁液，灌入口中，令流入喉咙。如果牙关紧闭，用物体强行撬开；如果不能强行撬开，就叩击牙齿下方；如果没有新鲜的，用人尿溶解干粪，绞取汁液。这是扁鹊说的。
又一方：用绳子围住死人的肘腕，男子左，女子右，量完伸直绳子从背上大椎穴度量向下，再从此处施灸，横向各半绳长度。此法三次灸各三壮，即可苏醒。
又一方：用手指掐患者的“人中”穴，使其苏醒。如果不醒，卷起手在“下文头”随年龄数施灸。
又一方：灸两足大脚趾指甲聚毛处，七壮。这是华佗的方法。一说三七壮。
又一方：灸肚脐中，一百壮。
扁鹊的法子又说：切断猪尾巴，取血饮用，并用枕头绑缚垫在头下，一会儿死人就会复活。
又一方：捣碎女背上的皮屑重一钱匕，张开嘴纳入喉中，用水和醋送服，立即复活。
按：此前救治突然死亡的四方，以及后文关于尸厥的事，都是魏大夫传中正一真人所说的扁鹊接受长桑公子传授的法术。寻查此传出世，在葛洪之后约二十年，不可能见到，应该是这种法术久已在世间流传，所以有的说是楚王，有的说是赵王，加上语句次序也有参差，因此如此记载。
又一方：用鸡冠及血涂抹面部，周围用灰围住，立即起身。
又一方：大豆十四枚，用蛋清和酒调和，全部吞下。
救治突然死亡且身体壮热的：矾石半斤，水一斗半，煮化后用此水洗脚，令没至脚踝。
救治突然死亡且眼睛闭合的：骑牛面对面部，捣薤汁灌入耳中，吹皂荚粉入鼻中，立即见效。
救治突然死亡且睁眼吐舌的：灸手足两个指甲后方十四壮，饮服含有巴豆的五毒诸膏散。
救治突然死亡且四肢松弛不收、大小便失禁的：马屎一升，水三斗，煮取二斗用来清洗身体。又取牛稀粪一升，温酒灌入口中。洞者，指稀粪。灸心下一寸、脐上三寸、脐下四寸各一百壮，病愈。
如果是救治小儿突然死亡且呕吐腹泻，不知是什么病的：马屎一丸，绞取汁液吞服。没有湿粪的，水煮取汁。
又有备急三物丸散及裴公膏，都在后备急药条中，救治突然死亡尤其好，也可以临时合用。凡是突然死亡、中恶及尸厥，都是天地及人身自然阴阳之气，忽然有乖离阻隔，上下不通，偏竭所致，所以虽然处于死亡境界，仍可治疗而生存，因为气尚未完全竭尽。在这个时候，兼有鬼神在其中，所以也可以用符咒法术获得救助。
附方
扁鹊说，中恶与卒死鬼击也相类似，已经死亡的进行治疗，都参考使用此方。
尸厥的病，突然死亡但脉搏还在跳动，听其耳中有如微语的声音，大腿间温暖，就是这种情况，也用此方治疗。
To rescue sudden death, whether there was prior illness or the person was simply lying in bed and suddenly expired, these are all cases of "Zhong E" (sudden collapse due to evil qi). This is the method for rescue.
One prescription: Take the yellow center of a green onion (Allium fistulosum) and pierce it into the nostril. For males, use the left side; for females, the right side. Insert it seven to eight cun deep. If blood flows from the eyes, it is better. The method of Bian Que is the same. Afterwards, blow air into the ear through a tube. Ge Hong should have stated this as blowing into the nose, so it is listed separately as one method.
Another prescription: Have two people block the patient's mouth with clothes and blow into both ears. When exhausted, switch persons. Alternatively, use a bamboo tube to blow. Simultaneously, support the shoulders, stand sideways and away, and do not lean directly over the deceased.
Another prescription: Pierce the ear with a green onion (Allium fistulosum). Do not be surprised if blood flows from the ear and nose; if no blood flows, it is difficult to treat. Blood flow is a sign of recovery. At this time, hold both hands and suddenly release them. Soon, the deceased will naturally raise their hand to grab people and speak of pain before stopping. For males, pierce the left nostril; for females, the right nostril. Insert it more than seven to eight cun deep. It has great efficacy. It also treats suicide by hanging. This is consistent with the method of Bian Que.
Another prescription: Soak cotton wool in good wine. After a moment, place it in the deceased's nostril. Press with your hand to let the juice enter the nose. Hold the limbs to prevent startling.
Another prescription: Observe the inner upper lip. If there is a white spot the size of a millet seed, puncture and remove it with a needle.
Another prescription: Pour urine onto the face. After several times, speech can resume. This is the method of Bian Que.
Another prescription: Take soap bean (Gleditsia sinensis) the size of a soybean and blow it into both nostrils. Sneezing indicates that the qi pathway is unblocked.
Another prescription: Moxibustion on Chengjiang (CV24), located in the depression below the lower lip. Ten moxa cones. Great efficacy.
Another prescription: Cut the neck of a male rooster and apply the blood to the face. Reapply when dry. Surround the deceased with a circle of ash.
Another prescription: Use a tube to blow into the anus (lower part). Have several people take turns blowing. Life returns when qi flows.
Another prescription: Open a white dog and apply its heart to the chest area. If a white dog is unavailable, a white chicken's heart is also suitable.
Another prescription: Take a male duck, cut off its head above the deceased's mouth, and drip the hot blood into the mouth. Also, use a bamboo tube to blow into the anus. Switch blower when exhausted. Life returns when qi flows downward.
Another prescription: Take fresh cow or horse manure, squeeze out the juice, and pour it into the mouth to reach the throat. If the jaw is clenched, force it open with an object; if it cannot be forced open, tap the teeth below. If fresh manure is unavailable, dissolve dried manure in human urine and squeeze out the juice. This is stated by Bian Que.
Another prescription: Wrap a rope around the wrist/ankle. For males, left; for females, right. Extend the rope from the back down to measure. Apply moxibustion at this point, horizontally half the length of the rope. Perform this moxibustion three times, three cones each time, then the person will rise.
Another prescription: Scratch Renzhong (GV26) until the patient awakens. If not, roll up the hand and perform moxibustion on "Xia Wen Tou" according to the age.
Another prescription: Moxibustion on Renzhong (GV26), three cones.
Another prescription: Moxibustion on the hair tuft near the nail of the big toe on both feet. Seven cones. This is the method of Hua Tuo. Some say twenty-one cones.
Another prescription: Moxibustion on Zhongwan (CV12), the center of the umbilicus. One hundred cones.
Bian Que's methods further state: Cut the pig's tail, drink the blood, and bind a pillow under the head. The deceased will revive shortly.
It also states: Powdered Pinellia ternata (Banxia) the size of a soybean, blown into the nose.
Another prescription: Crush one qianbi weight of skin flakes from a woman's back, insert into the throat with the mouth open, and administer with water and vinegar. Immediate revival.
Note: The four prescriptions for sudden death mentioned earlier, along with the case of Shijue (corpse-like coma) mentioned later, were all transmitted by Zheng Yizhenren, a minister of Wei, who received the method from Changsang Gongzi. Investigating the publication of this text, it appeared about twenty years after Ge Hong, so it is impossible he knew of it. These methods must have been circulating in the world for a long time, hence references to King of Chu or King of Zhao, and discrepancies in the order of statements.
There are also important prescriptions from Zhang Zhongjing: Crush Allium macrostemon (Xie) juice and pour into the nose.
Another prescription: Cut the comb of a red male rooster, collect the blood, and blow it into the nose using a tube.
Another prescription: Apply chicken comb and blood to the face, surround with ash, and the person will rise immediately.
Another prescription: Pig fat the size of a chicken egg, boiled with one sheng of vinegar, poured into the throat.
Another prescription: Fourteen soybeans (Soybean, Glycine max), mixed with egg white and wine, swallowed entirely.
For sudden death accompanied by high fever: Half a jin of Alum (Mingfan), boiled in one and a half dou of water. Soak the feet until the ankles are submerged.
For sudden death with closed eyes: Ride a cow facing the body, crush Allium macrostemon (Xie) juice and pour into the ears, blow Gleditsia sinensis (Zaojiao) powder into the nose. Immediate effect.
For sudden death with open eyes and protruding tongue: Moxibustion on the nails of hands and feet, fourteen cones total. Drink Wudu various ointment powders containing Croton tiglium (Badou).
For sudden death with flaccid limbs and incontinence: One sheng of horse manure, three dou of water, boil to obtain two dou. Wash the body with this liquid. Also, take one sheng of thin cow dung (Niu Dong), warm wine, and pour into the mouth. "Dong" refers to thin dung. Moxibustion on one cun below the heart, three cun above the navel, and four cun below the navel, one hundred cones each. Recovery ensues.
If rescuing a child who died suddenly with vomiting and diarrhea, unknown cause: One pill of horse manure, squeeze juice and swallow. If no wet manure, boil in water to extract juice.
There are also Beiji Sanwu Wan/San and Pei Gong Gao, listed in the subsequent emergency medicine section. They are excellent for sudden death and can be prepared on the spot. Generally, sudden death, Zhong E, and Shijue are caused by the sudden deviation and obstruction of natural Yin and Yang qi of heaven, earth, and the human body, leading to blockage between upper and lower parts and exhaustion. Although appearing dead, they can still be treated and revived because the qi is not completely exhausted. At this time, ghosts and spirits may be involved, so talismans and spells can also be used for rescue.
Attached Prescriptions
Bian Que said: Zhong E, sudden death, and Guiji (ghost strike) are similar. For those already dead, treat them using this prescription.
Crush fresh Rhizoma Acori Tatarinowii (Changpu), squeeze juice, and pour in. Immediate cure.
Shijue disease: Sudden death but pulse still moves, hearing faint whispering sounds in the ear, warmth in the thighs. This is the condition, also treated with this prescription.
Sun Simiao's prescription for sudden death: Blow powdered Gleditsia sinensis (Zaojiao) into the nose.
