Chapter 018: Intravenous Fluids, Natural Glucose

I saw those glue-like marrow-sucking insects instantly changing their form as soon as they came into contact with the air.

In less than five seconds, the liquid marrow suckers hardened into rock-like calcification.

The hardened marrow-sucking worm was like concrete, blocking the holes in Lin Shuhang's body, and not a trace of blood seeped out of the body.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of schistosomiasis emerged from Lin Shuhang's liver and blood vessels.

They quickly swam towards Lin Shuhang's chest, which was filled with blood, and frantically sucked in the accumulated blood.

For the sake of the "symbiosis contract" that existed in ancient times, the selfish ironworms also took action.

They struggled out of Lin Shuhang's intestines like venomous snakes, flowed upstream, and densely adhered to Lin Shuhang's damaged arteries.

The hemp rope-like iron worms quickly blocked Lin Shuhang's damaged blood vessel wall.

The blood no longer flowed to the chest. As the schistosomiasis sucked, the dirty blood accumulated in Lin Shuhang's chest was quickly cleaned up.

With the help of this group of parasites that could barely see the sun, Lin Shuhang once again walked through the gate of hell.

After an unknown amount of time, the comatose Lin Shuhang woke up from shock.

His body was limp and without any strength.

In fact, for a life that has lost half of its health, how can it have strength in this situation?

Lin Shuhang lay weakly by the stream, moaning in pain.

Now, he has lost at least 60% of his blood volume. If the plasma is not replenished in time, his life will be in danger.

Lin Shuhang thought of glucose and saline.

He had undergone breast cancer surgery before and had to lose glucose and normal saline for a week.

The blood components of the human body are very special. The components that are most difficult to restore and replenish after blood loss are plasma proteins, glucose, inorganic salts, and red blood cells.

Lin Shuhang had no ability to replenish plasma proteins and red blood cells and could only rely on time to slowly recover.

But the lost glucose and inorganic salts can be replenished with other things.

Lin Shuhang struggled to stand up from the ground. He remembered that there were coconut trees on the Turtle Titan Continent.

Coconut is a nutritious tropical fruit. The sap of this fruit not only contains extremely high sugar content, but also contains rich vitamins. Coupled with the vacuum protection of the shell, the juice inside is sterile.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, coconut water can replace glucose to replenish energy for the human body.

Lin Shuhang picked up a branch and stumbled out of the rain forest with his weak body.

Coconut trees are different from other trees. They generally live in sunny places. There are no coconut trees growing in this dark turtle rain forest.

When we left the rainforest, we saw a coconut grove.

Hundreds of huge coconut trees grow on the edge of the tortoise shell, covered with huge coconut fruits.

Lin Shuhang staggered to the coconut grove and looked up. The lowest coconut tree was 30 meters high. This made him frown.

Normally, a height of 30 meters would be nothing to Lin Shuhang.

Not now. Severe blood loss makes it very difficult for him to walk.

You can't climb a tree.

But the coconuts had to be picked. For a moment, Lin Shuhang was running around in a hurry.

"I'll chop you up!"

Lin Shuhang lost his temper, retrieved his stone hammer, chose a coconut tree full of coconuts, gritted his teeth and smashed it with the stone hammer.

I thought it would take hundreds of hits to hit the coconut tree, but I didn't expect that a ripe coconut was knocked down with just one blow.

A coconut fruit the size of a stone ball fell from a high altitude without any deviation, and hit Lin Shuhang on the head with a "bang" sound.

Lin Shuhang, who was hit by the coconut tree, was spinning back and forth on the ground like a drunkard.

After three rounds, he fell to the ground with a "boom".

After getting enough coconut fruits, the next problem faced is how to put coconut juice into one's body.

Although drinking coconut water directly can also replenish glucose for the human body, the effect is much worse than intravenous infusion. Because if you drink it directly, coconut water needs to go through multiple absorption and filtration in the gastrointestinal tract, which takes a long time and is absorbed at the same time.

A lot of nutrients and energy will also be lost in the process, and the effect is not as fast as intravenous infusion.

But Titan Continent is a primitive continent, and there are no equipment such as infusion sets on it. Lin Shuhang couldn't help but feel worried about this.

Youdao is a good hand at the beginning, and all equipment depends on crafting.

Human wisdom is infinite, as long as you are good at using your brain, anything can be replaced.

Lin Shuhang thought of using bamboo as an infusion set.

Giant Turtle Island is rich in materials and has a large bamboo forest. Apart from bamboo, Lin Shuhang really can't think of anything that can be used to replace the infusion set.

Lin Shuhang broke a few bamboo branches in the bamboo forest and returned to the stream with three coconut fruits.

After all the things were prepared, Lin Shuhang squatted by the stream and washed coconut fruits and bamboo branches.

If the bamboo branches are not cleaned, bacteria may enter your body through the bamboo branches, which may lead to the risk of sepsis.

In order to reduce the risk of transfusion infection as much as possible, Lin Shuhang soaked bamboo branches in stream water and washed them repeatedly.

After cleaning it at least ten times, Lin Shuhang started injecting himself.

Lin Shuhang found a pebble, carefully smashed a small hole in the coconut, placed it on a low shrub, and used a bamboo tube to search for veins on his body.

Lin Shuhang carefully inserted the bamboo branch into the vein, and the obvious feeling of disappointment told him that the puncture was successful.

But the blood did not flow backwards. This was because there was not much blood left in Lin Shuhang's body.

Lin Shuhang inserted the other end of the bamboo branch into the coconut, sat on the ground and drank the coconut juice for himself.

This is a very interesting picture - a poor little giant, sitting sickly by the stream, injecting himself coconut juice with a simple homemade infusion set.

Since there is no valve to adjust the flow rate of the bamboo tube, one coconut will be dripped cleanly in less than 10 minutes.

Lin Shuhang quickly found another coconut and continued to replenish the coconut juice.

Glucose is one of the most abundant compounds in nature and the most indispensable substance in life activities.

In the medical field, glucose is widely used and can be used for various symptoms such as high fever, dehydration, coma, blood loss, and physical weakness.

With the replenishment and absorption of natural glucose, Lin Shuhang's complexion gradually improved.

After dropping the three coconuts, Lin Shuhang had recovered a lot of strength.

After a brief rest, Lin Shuhang pulled out the bamboo tube and struggled to stand up from the ground.

There wasn't much time left for him. He had to build a fire before evening came to escape the long night.

Lin Shuhang once again returned to the edge of the turtle shell.

At this time, the sun was not tilted, it was in the center of the sky, like a furnace.

Through the fire mirror, Lin Shuhang got the flame as he wished this time.

The moment the blazing fire rose on the back of the giant turtle, the birds and beasts fled in fright!

At this time, Lin Shuhang's self-confidence also reached its peak.
