182: Causes of suffocation

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go!"

Rescue was a race against time to snatch people from the hands of death, so Qin Jiang's words were not as gentle as usual; instead, he directly ordered Zou Moli to act.

After an intense rescue, the infant finally regained a heartbeat.

Zou Moli breathed a sigh of relief, but Qin Jiang's expression remained serious.

"Contact the Medical Administration and have them take the child away for close observation."

Zou Moli nodded, took out her phone, and contacted the Medical Administration.

As soon as Qin Jiang walked out of the pharmacy, the family immediately surrounded him.

"Doctor, how is my son?"

Qin Jiang took off his mask and said, "He's temporarily out of danger."

Upon hearing that the Little Girl was out of danger, the family immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Who knew that Qin Jiang would then continue, "However, when the child was brought in, his face and limbs were already blue and purple, which means he had been in a state of suffocation for a long time."

"For such a young child, suffocation can cause irreversible damage to his brain and other organs. You need to be mentally prepared."

Upon hearing Qin Jiang say this, the family was immediately stunned.

The child's grandmother burst into tears, her emotions instantly collapsing.

Among the three people present, the man was the calmest.

He forced himself not to collapse, his voice trembling as he asked, "Doctor, what kind of damage are you talking about? Will it significantly affect his life?"

The man still held a glimmer of hope as he questioned Qin Jiang.

Qin Jiang glanced at him and said, "There are many types of brain damage, such as impaired consciousness, motor dysfunction, speech impairment, visual impairment, epilepsy, mental abnormalities, and so on."

"I only said just now that there's a possibility of brain damage. Whether it will actually occur, or what kind of damage it will be, requires continuous observation later on."

Qin Jiang's words were like a heavy hammer, sending the family's hearts plummeting to the bottom.

The child was still so young, yet he had already suffered brain damage.

How would he live and learn when he grew up?

At this moment, the grandmother was beating her chest and stamping her feet nearby.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault for not taking it seriously. I should have brought Ning Guang here sooner!"

Seeing the old woman blame herself so much, the man quickly stepped forward to comfort her.

"Mom, this isn't your fault. This was just an accident, and none of us wanted this to happen."

"Don't get angry; you'll hurt yourself."

Qin Jiang also said to the three, "I need to understand your specific situation here. Please sit down and talk."

Qin Jiang asked the three to sit down and talk, but they were in no mood to do so at the moment.

Seeing that they refused to sit, Qin Jiang emphasized again.

"The child is temporarily out of danger now. I need to understand more about the situation to provide the next treatment plan for the child. Standing like this and not letting your emotions calm down will not be beneficial for the child's upcoming treatment."

Hearing Qin Jiang say this, the family of three finally sat down.

With support for their bodies, they involuntarily relaxed, and their emotions gradually calmed down.

Qin Jiang asked the Little Girl's father to provide identification for registration.

Only then did Qin Jiang learn that the Little Girl's father was Ning Qi, who worked at a design institute.

The woman was Wang Rong, who had just finished her confinement period not long ago and had not yet returned to work, staying at home to recuperate.

Because Wang Rong's body was still relatively weak and she was very sleepy, the child slept with his grandmother, Song Xia, at night.

Song Xia was usually very careful when taking care of the child, as Ning Guang was the only male heir of the Old Ning family, so Song Xia protected the child in every way, fearing that something might happen to him.

Unexpectedly, during the nap today, an accident still occurred.

Qin Jiang looked at Song Xia and asked, "So, how did you discover that the child was not well?"

Song Xia wiped her tears as she said, "After I washed Ning Guang's diaper, I went to the bedroom to coax him to sleep."

"Because I've been really tired these past few days, while I was coaxing him, I couldn't help but fall asleep myself."

"I slept for about ten minutes when I heard Ning Guang making a strange sound in his throat, as if something was stuck."

"When I looked closely again, I found a lot of milk flowing out of his mouth, and his face had turned blue."

"I knew immediately that something was wrong, so I quickly called the two of them and brought the child over to see."

According to Song Xia's description, she immediately rushed over after noticing that the child was not well.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic here, where Qin Jiang worked, was the closest to their home. Including the time to leave the house and go downstairs, it only took about five minutes to run over.

When the people outside heard Song Xia say that the Little Girl was not well, the staff outside did not stop them and let them in directly.

This meant that the Little Girl's suffocation time should not have exceeded seven minutes.

Qin Jiang recorded this situation in detail.

Generally speaking, because children are physically weaker, suffocation exceeding four minutes will cause brain damage.

Some children might not survive even two minutes of suffocation.

So, this kind of thing varies from person to person.

Now, the most important thing for Qin Jiang was to figure out why the Little Girl was like this.

Just as Qin Jiang was about to speak, Wang Rong, who was sitting nearby, suddenly began to complain.

"I've said it countless times, Ning Guang needs to be taken care of by me personally, not by Mom."

"Times are different now, children are precious. Now look, something happened to Ning Guang, didn't it?"

Song Xia was already blaming herself, and now, after her daughter-in-law's words, she cried even harder.

Ning Qi tried to smooth things over.

"Don't say that. This was just an accident, and no one could have predicted it."

"Besides, didn't Mom bring the child over immediately?"

Wang Rong did not appreciate it at all.

"What do you mean 'immediately'? Didn't you hear what she just said?"

"Mom clearly fell asleep herself, and then the child had a problem, and she only woke up when she heard a sound."

"Who knows if the child was already unable to breathe before making a sound? How can the person taking care of the child fall asleep before the child?"

Wang Rong was now filled with resentment.

After all, Ning Guang was the child she had carried for ten months, and now she was suddenly told that he might suffer brain damage. As a mother, she certainly refused to accept such a thing.

When people cannot accept something, they often do not look for reasons within themselves.

So, Wang Rong now only wanted to blame Song Xia, as if only by doing so could she feel a little easier, and only then could she appear to be a competent mother, while Song Xia was not a competent mother-in-law.

Seeing that Song Xia's emotions were about to spiral out of control, Qin Jiang spoke up at this moment, "Based on our examination and your description just now, I deduce that the reason Ning Guang suffocated was due to being fed too much milk, which led to aspiration and suffocation."
