Emergency Nighthawk
Accidents in children are always particularly heart-wrenching. Many times when an accident occurs, no one is present and no one can rescue it. Sometimes, however, adults are present, but they are often irreparable because they will not be rescued or mistakenly rescued.
At 8:00 p.m. on November 3, 2021, at the home of left-behind minors in Tongzhou Town, Pingtang County, Guizhou Province, Ran Guanglong, a 9-year-old girl, accidentally swallowed the whole lollipop, and Luo Ying, who was eight months pregnant, used the Heimlik method to emergency rescue.
Luo Ying is the head of the Home for Left-behind Minors in Tongzhou Town. On November 4, she recalled in an interview with reporters that on the evening of the 3rd, the children were reading in the reading room of the home for left-behind minors, when suddenly Ran Guanglong walked toward her, pointing at her throat as she walked.
She was a few meters away from me, and when she came to me, her face was blue, and she couldn't say anything. My first reaction was that she was stuck eating. Luo Ying said.
Immediately, Luo Ying hugged Ran Guanglong from behind and performed the Heimlik Method for emergency rescue. She clenched her fist in her left hand, aimed her fist at the position above the child's navel, and held her left fist in her right hand, impacting its upper abdomen, repeating several operations, the sugar block was shocked out, and the child was saved.
Heimlich First Aid
This incident touched many netizens. The child was lucky to meet a smart Luo mother, who could protect them very well.
Airway foreign body obstruction incidents that occur on campus can be seen in the news every year, and not every teacher knows so much about this Heimlik first aid method.
As a first aid popularizer, I am very aware that Luo Ying's Heimlich first aid method has probably never been formally learned, but has been learned more by watching videos spread on the Internet or social media, and it is often the mothers who are pregnant or young in their children who are most concerned about this kind of science popularization.
Heimlich first aid, also known as abdominal shock method, is used for children over 1 year of age or adults, when they have severe airway foreign body obstruction so that they cannot cough, speak, or breathe, by impacting their epigastric abdomen, causing the diaphragm to lift the chest cavity pressure increases, thereby impacting the foreign body.
If a baby develops airway foreign body obstruction, while he is still awake, he can be rescued by tapping his back and hitting his chest alternately.
Back slap
Chest punch method
Whether it is an adult, a child or an infant, when a foreign body obstruction of the airway occurs and cannot be relieved by the above methods, the patient will lose consciousness and lose response due to lack of oxygen, and then use CPR for rescue instead. However, it is necessary to check whether the patient's mouth has foreign bodies coming out before each 30 compressions and artificial respiration.
Traditionally, people have always believed that first aid should be a doctor's business, and it needs a very professional person to carry out rescue. In fact, it is not difficult to learn first aid, and simple first aid methods may play an important role in critical moments, especially for teachers engaged in child care, preschool education or primary and secondary school campuses, first aid skills such as Heimlich first aid should become a must.
I once held an offline first aid class in Zhengzhou, and one of the students was a teacher in middle school. She shared the following cases in the group,
"Thank you Nighthawk teacher for having come to Zhengzhou... I'm glad I took first aid classes. There was a student who was stuck in his trachea at dinner, a tall and fat boy. I happened to be on duty in the cafeteria, and a student led him to me, his face was already purple, he couldn't speak, he couldn't make a sound in his throat, and Hehehe covered his throat, which frightened me into panic. Then I remembered that I had studied first aid, and quickly hugged him to use the Heimlich first aid method, and it took four or five strokes to expel the foreign body. Thankfully, I was really scared and shivering, and my legs were soft on the way home. The student is in the eighth grade, and may not realize that he has walked away from the ghost door. As a teacher, there is nothing I can do today if I am confronted with the situation of my students. Then I will live in guilt for the rest of my life. fortunately. Thankfully....."
Finally, the teacher also said, "I am not the slightest bit happy, some are just endless fears." Immediately after this incident today, I told the principal and the restaurant owner that all faculty and restaurant staff should learn first aid, and everyone should learn. I'm going to promote this across the school! ”
