Father and son quarrel when writing homework,
Dad was so angry that he reached out and beat the baby,
The child immediately raised his hand to block,
Forgot to have a sharpened pencil in my hand,
The tip of the pen goes straight into the back of the head!
Wuhan's 8-year-old boy Jump jump (pseudonym) is a second-grade elementary school student, smart and mischievous. Near the end of the term, Mom and Dad prepared some revision questions for Jump to do consolidation exercises. On the evening of December 31, 2021, after Jumping finished writing his homework, dad checked and found that his accuracy rate was still good, but the handwriting was too messy, so he asked Jump to write the handwriting neatly.
"I think I'm writing pretty well." Jumping was very unhappy, he had long wanted to leave the desk. But Dad insisted on letting him change, he rolled his eyes and muttered, one moment to take the eraser, the other to find a ruler, grinding and rubbing for half a day refused to write. Dad was furious, raising his hand to fight, and the "experienced" jump rushed to block it with his hand. At this time, Jump jumped just in his hand with a sharpened pencil, and the pencil in the argument pushed straight into the back of the child's head.
At about 8 p.m., parents rushed to the emergency department of Wuhan Children's Hospital. At this time, the child was conscious, his limbs were flexible, there was no obvious blood on the surface of the wound, and he was quickly admitted to the neurosurgery department to prepare for emergency surgery.
Escorted by an anesthesiologists, the operation began at 11 p.m., and neurosurgeon Huang Wenkai found that the pencil was diagonally penetrated from the child's occipital part to the right neck, entering about 7cm, fortunately not inserted into the skull.
However, the situation is also dangerous – the pencil is only a few millimeters away from the spinal canal, and the vertebral artery is near the pencil. If the spinal canal is broken, the child may be paralyzed, and if the artery is injured, the child's life is in danger on the spot.
Dr. Huang Wenkai carefully removed the complete pencil, worried about the increased risk of infection in the body of graphite or wood chips residue, repeatedly rinsed the trauma tunnel during the operation, and injected tetanus needles for anti-infection and debridement treatment. After one day of treatment and observation in the ICU, jumped and was transferred to the general ward on January 2. When the reporter saw him, he was humming the song: "Harry Potter flying on a broomstick." On 9 January, the child recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
"Jump is lucky, the pencil is not inserted into the skull, otherwise the risk of infection is greatly increased." Du Hao, a neurosurgeon at Wuhan Children's Hospital, introduced that before, the hospital also received boys who ran while eating, chopsticks inserted into the skull after wrestling, and girls with snack bamboo sticks directly inserted into the bottom of the tongue, and the treatment process was thrilling. Some parents unplug the foreign body themselves before seeking medical treatment, which is absolutely prohibited and very dangerous.
Doctor reminds
For young children, it is necessary to make good rules, and when eating, you must not run around with chopsticks, forks, sticks and other items, and you must not run and play with things in your mouth, so as not to cause accidents.
For school-age children, do a good job of safety education, adjust their emotions when tutoring homework, and don't be too impulsive. Once a stick, chopsticks, etc. are inserted into the face, do not rush to remove, should be rushed to the hospital as soon as possible to deal with, in case of injury to large blood vessels, forced extraction may cause intracranial hemorrhage is life-threatening.
