Mentioning the Heimlich first aid method, many parents may have mastered it, but considering the practicality and first aid characteristics of this first aid method, Xiaobian would like to say more about it here.
What is the Heimlich First Aid Act?
Heimlich's rescue method is Heimlich's abdominal shock method. Acute airway foreign body blockage is not uncommon in life, because the patient cannot breathe after the airway blockage, so it may cause accidental death due to lack of oxygen. Heimlich Maneuver, also known as Hayd's hand, was invented by the American physician Mr. Heimlich.
Seeing this, everyone should understand what the Heimlich First Aid Method does? Yes, it is to first aid acute respiratory foreign body blockage, this is very dangerous, golden rescue time, 4-10 minutes, optimistic, is 4-10 minutes, that is, once there is an acute respiratory foreign body blockage, you are completely without time to go to the hospital or even the clinic is too late, so from the rescue time alone, you can deeply feel how important and necessary this skill is.
Let me introduce the operation method of the Heimlich first aid method.
Children under 3 years of age should pick up the child, one hand pinching the sides of the child's cheekbones, the arm against the child's chest, the other hand supporting the back of the child's neck, so that his face is down, lying on the rescuer's knee. Pat your child on the back 1-5 times and watch if the child spits out the foreign body.
It is also possible to take another position, turn the child over, lie on a hard ground or bed board, and the rescuer kneels or stands on his or her foot, or takes a seat, and has the child ride on the rescuer's lap, facing forward. The rescuer places the middle or index fingers of both hands on the abdomen under the thoracic cage and above the umbilicus, and quickly and upwardly hits the compression, but very gently. Repeat until the foreign body is excreted.
In adult cases, the first responder wraps around the patient from behind, clenches a fist in one hand and a clenched fist in the other, finds the position of the two fingers above the navel eye (the approximate position is OK), and continuously impacts the abdomen from the downward slope upwards until the foreign body is discharged.
If it is only the patient himself, he can find a chair or bed corner against the area, and rely on the squeeze of the body to impact the chest cavity until the foreign body is discharged.
Regardless of whether the foreign body is completely excreted, as long as it can breathe, it is still necessary to go to the hospital immediately.
