Hello everyone, I'm Wenwen Dad!
Some time ago, I took my baby to dinner with my friends, and a particularly heart-wrenching thing happened during the period, but fortunately there was no danger in the end. Here's the thing:
01
During the meal, duoduo, the 3-year-old son of a friend's family, was fed a small piece of steamed bun by a 5-year-old sister, and as a result, Duoduo did not swallow a mouthful and stuck his throat. Many of the people present panicked and were overwhelmed for a moment.
Some suggestions: "Quickly reach out and take out the bun stuck in your throat";
Some people also suggest: "Feed your child two mouthfuls of water and let your child swallow it";
Duoduo's mother did not take everyone's advice, neither with her hands, nor to feed the child water, but calmly opened the mobile phone flashlight, signaled the child to open his mouth, and observed that the position of the steamed bun card was relatively deep and could not be taken out manually.
So Duoduo's mother asked Wenwen's father to help call the emergency call, while wrapping her arms around the child's waist, one hand in the shape of a fist, against the child's navel, forcefully upwards, trying to drain the steamed bun stuck in the throat.
At this time, the child was very uncomfortable, his face gradually turned purple from red, and he could not speak. Fortunately, after several repeated shocks, a small piece of steamed bun stuck in the throat rushed out. Seeing a small piece of steamed bun on the ground, Duoduo's mother sat paralyzed on the ground, a large stone hanging in her heart, and finally it could land on the ground.
At this time, the emergency doctor also arrived, and the doctor carefully examined Duoduo's throat and found that the throat was not injured, and the steamed bun had been eliminated, and there was no danger.
At this time, the doctor asked Toto's mother how to take out the steamed bun for the child, and Toto's mother said the "first aid measures" she had done before. The doctor listened to the praise of the mother: it was your "two decisiveness" that saved the child's life.
The first decisiveness was that when the child was found to be stuck in the throat of the steamed bun, he did not reach out and cut it, nor did he feed the child water.
At the same time, the doctor said: When the child is stuck in the throat of the steamed bun, do not feed water, feed the water, the steamed bun will swell, if you do not choke, it will block the throat, more dangerous.
And told about a child admitted to their hospital, who was also stuck in the throat of the steamed bun, but the mother not only fed the water, but also used her hands to cut it, and finally when she was sent to the hospital, she was unable to return to heaven.
The second decisiveness is that instead of waiting for the doctor to come to the rescue, the treatment was decisively carried out through the "Heimlich First Aid Method".
In addition, when the doctor left, he also reminded the parents present: you must pay special attention when giving the child food, so as not to get stuck in the throat of food. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter food stuck in the throat, do not blindly use your hands to cut or feed water, so as not to lose the size of the small, but hurt the child.

For children around the age of 3, foreign bodies are very common, and from time to time you can see kindergarten children getting stuck in the throat of food. It is understood that in the United States, as many as tens of thousands of children go to the hospital because of food choking every year, and serious cases will lead to death.
The reason is that the chewing function of children is not perfect, and eating is often swallowed, which is easily stuck by food.
What should I do when I get stuck with food?
When Wen Wen's father took his daughter to do child protection, he once heard the child protection doctor say: Within 5 minutes after the child was choked, it was the golden time for rescue. If you miss this time, it will cause a lot of harm to your child. Therefore, these first aid common sense parents should remember:
Parents maintain composure and guide their children to cough frequently
For most parents, when they see their children stuck in their throats by food, they are very flustered at the first time and often overwhelmed.
At this time, parents should first maintain their composure, and then let the child try to cough to see if they can let the foreign body fall out through the air flow that follows the cough.
If you cough frequently many times, the foreign body can not be coughed out, if the position of the foreign body card is not deep, you can use forceps to see if it can be clipped out. If you can't clip it out, you should take it to the hospital immediately.
Infants and young children under 1 year of age should be treated with back-to-back chest compression first aid
For infants and young children under 1 year old, it is difficult to guide children to cough, then you can use the method of patting your back and pressing your chest to give first aid.
Pat your back
First, the mother has the child lying on her legs with her face down, with the child's head below her chest and close to the adult's arm.
Secondly, the mother finds the midpoint of the child's two shoulder blades, and then uses the palm of the other hand to slap down hard to see if there is a foreign body discharged at any time.
Chest compression
If the foreign body is still unable to be discharged by patting the child's back; you can try to press the chest again, that is, the mother supports the child with one hand, and the other hand uses the index and middle fingers to quickly press the child's chest, 5 times in a group, and check at any time whether there is a foreign body discharged.
The above two sets of actions can be circulated until the foreign body is discharged, and if the child loses consciousness during the period, the adult should perform CPR in time.
1 year of age or older or adult, Heimlich First Aid Can be used
After reviewing the information, Wen Wen dad found that Heimlich first aid method has two steps, that is, environmental protection behind the back and rapid impact on the abdomen.
Whether the person who is stuck in the throat is a child or an adult, you can use the Heimlich first aid method, but the child is small, and the adult needs to squat down from behind first, and then hold the child's abdomen with both hands to find the two fingers above the navel eye.
Second, hold a fist in one hand, with your thumb on the inside of the palm to avoid hurting the child when you exert force; the other hand clenches the fisted hand and quickly impacts the abdomen. For every 5 shocks, check to see if foreign bodies are discharged.

In addition to taking timely first aid measures, in daily life, mothers should also pay attention to their children's daily diet to avoid food jams. Therefore, Wen Wen Dad has sorted out 3 wonderful ways to prevent children's food from getting stuck, hoping to be useful to you:
Try not to give your child small, whole pieces of food as much as possible
In the daily diet, mothers should try not to give their children hard candy, peanut rice, popcorn or hard apples, pears and other small and whole foods.
There are also some foods that look soft but are not easy to swallow, such as marshmallows, chewing gum, etc., and are not recommended for children.
Don't play with detachable spare parts toys for your child
Wen Wen dad suggested that parents of children under the age of 3 should not play with removable toys that may fall off at any time, so as not to cause danger when the child is imported and swallowed by mistake.
When your child eats, keep it focused and quiet
The daughter almost got stuck in her throat several times when she ate, and the reason is that the grandmother loves to laugh at the child when she eats.
Later, Wen Wen's father reminded grandma to let the child eat attentively when eating, and not to laugh and fight with the child, so as not to get food stuck in the throat or choke into the trachea, thus causing danger.
At the same time, parents should also supervise their children, do not let the children have food in their mouths, and then run around and play, these behaviors will increase the risk of choking on food.
All in all, parents should try their best to avoid their children being stuck by food, and if unfortunately, they should also take correct first aid measures in time to avoid danger to their children.
