Regarding KI-1 Yong quan application as a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) revival point, divulgation was not limited to actuarial cardiac results, but KI-1 Yong quan function as a brain protector in both traumatic and vascular brain injury situations should be included. Needless to say, all patients subjected to the stimulation of KI-1 Yong quan by cardiac arrest were neurologically classified with 3 points on the Glasgow Scale. Likewise, the validation of this CPR complementary rescue maneuver, deepening its significance of certainty respect to current techniques and protocols still in force. The difference obtained was also confirmed to be statistically significant, adding to this analysis the F-test for dichotomous variables; thus, all the statistical validations demonstrated once more the relevant certainty before other methods currently used instead of KI-1 Yong quan maneuver. Maybe such assertion led the Chinese to conclude that both KI-1 Yong quan and PC-9 Zhong chong acupuncture points had the ability to “reset” the vital signs that are absent, as a battery that would provide us with a source of alternative vital energy if our own existence is under severe danger.
The current figures produced by the COVID-19 pandemic and its respective mutations are close to 125000000 infected and 3000000 deaths. Faced with such a panorama, it is evident that the application of life support protocols in the extra-hospital setting is hardly exceeding 6.4%. Even those not specialized in the subject can easily realize that the survival results are extremely poor. The success of CPR - an authorized medical maneuver in laypersons properly prepared for it - depends crucially on the application of such a protocol by the general population to improve survival rates. Consequently, the main reason for this work is to offer an alternative available to the public worldwide and to help resolve the current success figures in CPR without risk of contagion.
The clear objectives already exposed are upgrade current survival rates in global CPR thanks to the aid of this complementary resuscitation maneuver. On the other hand, there is a genuine intention of the author to relocate Traditional Chinese Medicine within the global context of existing therapeutic possibilities in emergency situations. The work justifies - after an uninterrupted investigation of the author for almost 40 years - that Chinese Medicine can deservedly share its place with Western Medicine in CPR protocols globally. Let us remember that CPR is the only authorized medical practice in those laypeople duly authorized to exercise said practice.
As to its statistical verification, several sequences of survival rates were presented, the first 7 of which were published in Health (2015), the 8th one in the World Journal of Critical Care Medicine (2016) and the 9th and last sampling, at the Health Care Summit Congress in Dublin (2018). Its value actually strives in the differential detail if the deceased patients group is considered the control group instead of the patients that may be deceased group. Thus, the possibility of combining the indiciary or semiotic paradigm with the Retrospective Cohort Study allows us to manage potential lethal effects which are collateral to the random process in cases of extreme emergencies.
Strictly speaking, with 14 deaths out of 89 cases after applying this complementary rescue praxis has proven that its extra-hospital survival rates are 8 times higher than the best out-of-hospital survival rates (84.27% success).
The KI-1 Yong quan complementary resuscitation maneuver, systematized since 1987, has been consistently performed in sudden death and cardiac arrest conditions as a final resource upon both basic and advanced CPR failure. After almost thirty years of experience, the author herein provides a reasoned survival bio-energetic circuit based on a detailed methodological–statistical analysis of the Wondrous Vessels (Qi jing ba mai) participating in it. The divulgation of K-1 emergency therapeutic possibilities looks for its inclusion into Critical Care Protocols, in order to upgrade survival rates in both cardiac arrest and stroke victims worldwide.
Close to a total of 125000000 infections and 3000000 deaths in the world, the author believes that it is appropriate to urgently submit to medical science this easy-to-apply KI-1 Yong quan/PC- 9 Zhong chong resuscitation maneuver as a contingency measure in the face of such a catastrophe global that involves zero cost. Even without a pandemic, it is estimated that after 2020 the number of deaths from cardiac arrest and sudden death could reach 30000000 deaths per year, a figure equivalent to suffering the genocide of 50 Hiroshima bombs or 126 tsunamis Indonesia-like.
