CORE DEFINITION

During massive hemorrhage, qi loses its attachment and collapses along with blood. Manifestations include pale complexion, cold extremities, and syncope.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

When the skin is gone, where can the hair attach? Blood is the carrier, qi is the passenger. When the vehicle (blood) overturns, the passenger (qi) cannot be retained. In massive hemorrhage, not only stop bleeding but also supplement qi to consolidate collapse (e.g., single ginseng decoction), first secure the passenger.

Anchor fast decisions

Blood is the mother of qi; qi depends on blood for existence. During massive hemorrhage, blood volume decreases sharply, qi loses its attachment and collapses suddenly, presenting with pale face, cold limbs, and syncope. Hence, "when the skin is gone, where can the hair attach?"—while stopping bleeding, one must supplement qi to consolidate collapse, first "secure the passenger."

MINIMUM ACTION

In progress 0/4

Practice this model in one real situation:

In massive hemorrhage, first stop bleeding and prevent qi collapse
Urgently use qi-supplementing and collapse-consolidating methods (e.g., single ginseng decoction) to stabilize qi movement
Simultaneously address volume expansion and etiological treatment
Observe complexion, pulse, and consciousness to assess the progression of collapse syndrome.
