治魇寐卒死,及为墙壁竹木所压,水溺金疮,卒致闷绝;产妇恶血冲心,诸暴绝证。
半夏(七次汤洗去滑,不拘多少)
上为末。每一大豆许,吹鼻中即活。但心头温者,一日可治。
牡丹散
治产乳血晕,闷绝野狼狈。若口噤,则拗开灌之必效。(方见妇人门)
徐徐抱解,不得截绳,上下安被卧之,一人以脚踏其两肩,手少挽其发,常
弦弦,勿纵之。一人以手按据胸上,数动之。一人摩捋臂胫,屈伸之。若已强,但渐屈之,
并按其腹。如此一炊顷,气从口出,呼吸眼开,而犹引按莫置,亦勿苦劳之。须臾,可少桂
汤及粥清含与之,令濡喉,渐渐能咽,乃稍稍止。耳内令两人以管吹其两耳弥好。此法最善
,无不活者。自旦至暮,虽冷亦可;暮至旦,少难。
以死人安着,将手袖掩其口鼻眼上。一食顷活,眼开,仍与热小便;若初觉
气绝,而不能言,可急劈口开,以热小便灌之。打扑闷绝者,亦用此。
夫压死折伤,唯礼法君子,守岩墙垂堂之戒,固无是事。然安车良马,时有跌足奔轮;
步砌临流,未免虚舟飘瓦。况行商征贾,捕猎鱼人,历涉既多,不测尤甚;其如冤雠加害,
凶险劫持,打扑金疮,皆致枉夭,治之不可不急也。
鸡鸣散 治从高坠下,及木石所迮。凡是伤损,血瘀凝积,气绝欲死;并久积瘀血,烦
躁疼肿,叫呼不得,并以此药利去瘀血即愈。此药能推陈致新。(方见折伤门)
To treat sudden death from nightmare (Yanmei), or compression by walls, bamboo, wood, drowning, metallic wounds (Jinchuang), leading to sudden syncope; postpartum evil blood rushing to the heart, and various acute closure syndromes.
Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) (Wash seven times with boiling water to remove slipperiness, quantity as needed).

Mudan San (Peony Powder)
To treat postpartum blood syncope, where the patient is in a state of fainting and distress. If the jaw is clenched, pry it open and administer the medicine; it will be effective. (Formula see Women's Department)
Slowly untie the binding, do not cut the rope. Place bedding above and below for them to lie on. One person steps on both shoulders with their feet, while gently pulling the hair, maintaining tension without letting go. Another person presses on the upper chest with their hand, moving it up and down repeatedly. A third person rubs the arms and shins, flexing and extending them. If the body has become rigid, gradually bend it, and simultaneously press/massage the abdomen. After the time it takes to cook a meal, breath will exit the mouth, respiration returns, and eyes open. Continue holding and pressing, do not release immediately, and do not exhaust the patient. After a short while, offer a small amount of Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) or clear rice gruel to hold in the mouth, moistening the throat. Once swallowing becomes possible, stop temporarily. Additionally, have two people blow air into the ears using tubes; this is best. This method is most excellent, with no cases of failure. From dawn to dusk, even if cold, rescue is possible; from dusk to dawn, it is slightly more difficult.
Place the deceased properly. Cover the mouth, nose, and eyes with a sleeve. After the time it takes to eat one meal, if they revive and open their eyes, still administer hot urine. If just detected as having ceased breathing but unable to speak, urgently pry the mouth open and灌 (irrigate/administer) hot urine. For those stunned by beating or crushing, use this method as well.
Regarding death by crushing or fracture, only gentlemen who observe propriety and law, heeding warnings against leaning on precarious walls or standing under eaves, would avoid such incidents. However, even in safe carriages and good horses, foot injuries and wheel overturns occur; walking on stone paths near streams, one cannot avoid accidents like floating boats or falling tiles. Moreover, merchants, hunters, and fishermen, having experienced much, face even greater unpredictability; plus harm from enemies, violent robbery, beatings, and metallic wounds all lead to unjust premature death. Treatment must be urgent.
