The Spring Festival is a day of family reunion, but Zhao Daddy, a Wuhan citizen over 90 years old, did not expect that this family had just eaten a few bites after the reunion, and as a result, he entered the intensive care unit.
Daddy Zhao is still in a coma. According to the doctor, due to his advanced age, Zhao Daddy did not want to drag down his children and has been living in a nursing home. During the Spring Festival, when his son came to visit and feed the old man, an accident suddenly occurred.

At that time, the old man was coughing violently, and it was difficult to breathe, when his son was frightened, and then immediately called 120 and was sent to the emergency department of our hospital.
After entering the hospital, the doctor found that Daddy Zhao had a heart arrest, and after cardiopulmonary resuscitation, he gradually recovered his vital signs. But what is confusing is that the elderly still have a serious lack of oxygen problem. When the respiratory doctor probed Daddy Zhao's airway through a tracheoscope, he was surprised.
Inside the trachea and the left and right bronchi are full of meatballs, and there are black fungus, which blocked the airway by 90%, and we immediately did a foreign body removal surgery with him next to the bed, and took out a lot of meatballs and black fungus. After taking it out, the patient's oxygen saturation immediately returned to normal.
The cause of Zhao Daddy's coma was found, it turned out that when his son was feeding his father, due to the old man's advanced age, poor swallowing function led to a choking cough.
In this regard, the doctor reminds the public that when feeding the elderly, we must pay attention to avoid eating dried rice, steamed buns and other foods with less water content, and try to use semi-liquid food, such as noodles that are cooked badly, or dumplings.
In addition to the elderly, children are also relatively prone to coughing group, when feeding, we must pay attention to swallowing and then feeding a mouthful.
If there is a mistake, quickly turn over and pat your back, use your knees to hold the sword under the protrusion, and shoot quickly, you can shoot out the sucking things. If the patient continues to cough, has difficulty breathing, and has a gray face, then quickly call 120 and send him to the hospital.
