Recently, in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, a boy over 1 year old was stuck in the throat by a foreign body, and there was suffocation, and his mother did not know how to rescue him. At the critical moment, Hong Wenru used the Heimlik method to give first aid, and after repeated rescues, the child spat out foreign objects. On the way to the hospital, the baby had a convulsive situation, and Hong Wenru plugged his fingers to prevent the child from biting his tongue, and then delivered the child to the hospital.
On the 11th, Hong Wenru and Huang Weikun won a positive energy bonus of 5,000 yuan, and many netizens praised this kind couple!
The video on the Internet shows a young mother bending down to hold her child in a car and jumping straight to her feet, she kept shouting at her child, her voice was crying and she didn't know what to do.
Hong Wenru said that when they passed, the child's body was already soft and squishy, and the situation was very critical. She hurried over to take the child to rescue her, but the foreign body was still stuck in the child's throat.
She immediately took the children to the electric car, and Huang Weikun took them to the hospital. On the way, Hong Wenru put his finger deep in the child's throat and pressed his tongue down hard. The child finally spit out the foreign body! Then the child burst into tears.
Although the child's condition has improved, there is also a sudden danger of accident - the child has convulsions. His teeth clenched particularly tightly. Hong Wenru was afraid that the child would bite his tongue and put his finger into his mouth...
Due to the timely delivery of the doctor, the child was successfully rescued. In the face of many netizens' praise for her, Hong Wenru said that this was a "show of hands". As a mother of a 5-year-old, she empathizes with what happened to that mother, "it was very uncomfortable at the time."
Although the 1-year-old was rescued with the help of the couple. But we've also found a key problem – Heimlich first aid hasn't been better popularized. Even though Hong Wenru knew how to use this method, her initial rescue did not have an immediate effect.
Here, Xiaobian collects some relevant knowledge to share with you. In life, it doesn't hurt for us to reserve more knowledge, at least to be prepared. It is reported that the first aid method is slightly different due to the different objects to be rescued.
1. Infants under 1 year of age
Such groups cannot stand. Rescuers should take a seat or kneel on one knee, with the infant lying prone on his or her arm and having the infant ride on either side of the arm on two legs apart. Then rest the forearm on the knee or thigh, hold the baby's head and jaw with your hands, keep the baby's head below the torso, and use the base of the other palm to go forward and down, and vigorously tap the midpoint of the two shoulder blades on the baby's back, once per second, 5 times per second. While patting, carefully observe whether the baby has a foreign body.
If the situation does not improve, it is flipped over, the back of the baby's head is supported by the arm, the child's head is kept below the trunk, the two legs are riding between the arms, the rescuer's forearm is placed on the thigh, forming a support, and the other hand food and middle finger are placed below the midpoint of the baby's two nipples and the lower half of the sternum, once per second, pressing 5 times.
If the foreign body is not discharged, flip it again and continue the above method until the foreign body is discharged.
2. Adults and children over 1 year old
The rescuer stands behind the patient, in a position where the front leg is arched and the hind leg is arched, and then the patient sits on his arched thigh and leans forward slightly. Then wrap both hands around the patient's waist, hold a hollow fist in one hand, use the thumb side to hold the two horizontal fingers above the navel of the patient's abdomen, below the sword process, and the other hand grasps the fist-clenching hand and quickly squeezes inward and upward to impact the patient's abdomen. About once per second, repeated shocks until the foreign body is discharged.
3. Patients who are relatively large or have been unconscious
The patient lies flat and opens his airway. The rescuer rides across the sides of the patient's thighs, one hand over the back of the other palm, the two hands in the same direction, the palm root of the lower hand is placed at the two fingers above the umbilicus of the patient's abdomen, and the body weight is used to quickly impact the patient's abdomen until the foreign body is discharged.
4. Pregnant or excessively obese patients
The patient leans forward, the rescuer stands behind the patient, wraps his arms around the patient's chest, holds a fist in one hand, grabs the fist with the other hand, places the thumb side on the lower half of the patient's sternum, and continuously impacts backwards until the foreign body is discharged.
Fifth, self-help
One hand clenches a fist with the thumb side to the abdomen, and the other grabs the fisted hand and quickly impacts the abdomen, or quickly squeezes the abdomen with rounded corners or the back of the chair. In this case, any obtuse object can be used to stamp the abdomen and allow the obstruction to drain.
When operating with the above methods, you should also pay attention to a few points:
The method is a first aid method. In general, if the patient is choked, he should first be allowed to cough up a foreign body on his own, and if he cannot cough it out, he should use Heimlich technique.
Even if the obstruction is discharged by this method, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination, because this emergency operation may cause secondary harm to the patient.
This method is only suitable for cases of tracheal obstruction and cannot be used for the emergency treatment of foreign bodies in the esophagus, because the gas that is thrusting upwards in the lungs does not pass through the esophagus.
