Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190: Chapter 130: High-Difficulty Hemostasis, Saving Lives Comes With Great Rewards (Part 2)

Fine beads of sweat were already seeping from his forehead.

"Why didn’t I think of using stitches to stop the bleeding?"

It was like seeing a ray of light in the darkness.

By stitching the wound, there was an indirect bleeding control effect to a certain extent.

In the rush to save the patient’s life just now, I only thought of direct hemostasis methods, neglecting the indirect ones.

"Sister Tang, quickly prepare the suturing needles and sutures for the head wound, needle holder, and tweezers. If you’re scared, let Dr. Gao bring them out."

Li Jingsheng spoke to her with compassion.

"Alright, alright..."

Tang Ping stood several meters away in the clinic watching, and upon hearing Li Jingsheng’s instructions, she immediately went to the treatment room to prepare.

Luckily, Li Jingsheng’s basic suturing skills are above Entry Level, reaching at least a Master Level resident physician.

Only at a critical moment like this can he save the injured person’s life.

If he were still at an intern or training level, the consequences would be hard to predict.

Normally, interns would take at least half an hour to suture a wound of this length. Trainees, depending on their strength, would take about twenty minutes at the fastest.

Moreover, the suturing result might not be very good.

After fetching the suturing materials and tools, Tang Ping hesitated for a moment but eventually bravely walked outside instead of handing them to Xiaogao.

But her eyes were still cautiously observing the movement outside the clinic door.

Checking whether the assailant was nearby.

"You... not afraid anymore?"

Li Jingsheng quickly took the gloves and put them on, promptly using the needle holder to clamp the suturing needle.

Unlike sewing needles, surgical suturing needles are mostly curved and hook-shaped.

The difficulty of threading is slightly higher.

Tang Ping’s heart was surely still filled with fear, and her hands kept trembling.

Faced with such a bloody scene with potential violence, not just women, but even most men would feel fear and trepidation.

"I’m exercising my courage."

As she spoke, she was already squatting down, starting to use a comb to clean the patient’s head wound and surrounding hair.

If it were a formal surgery, a skin preparation would certainly be necessary.

Now, she could only handle it simply.

Xiaogao waited for a while, and seeing no danger outside, he also walked out.

Li Jingsheng had already threaded the needle.

"Dr. Gao, help me hold the patient’s head and pour some saline to rinse the wound."

If it’s a contaminated wound, rinsing with hydrogen peroxide is quite effective too.

Common practice in primary healthcare facilities.

"Not using local anesthesia?"

"We must hurry to stop the bleeding now; using local anesthesia would take too much time. In urgent situations, we make exceptions!"
