A two-year-old child was carried to the emergency department of the hospital by his grandmother and said that the child had not eaten, drunk, or spoken for two days, had been coughing, and did not know what was happening. The doctor immediately performed a fiber laryngoscopy for the boy, and found that the fish skull was inserted in the boy's throat and could fall into the airway at any time, causing suffocation and even life-threatening. This can make Grandma break out of a cold sweat! The baby is still young, and the process of removing the fish bones is still relatively difficult. Fortunately, the child is more cooperative, under the efforts of the doctor, the fish bone has been successfully removed, and the child has successfully recovered and discharged from the hospital.
The older generation basically solves the problem of the card fish thorn by swallowing a mouthful of rice, pressing the fish thorn in the throat, or drinking a large mouthful of vinegar and water, saying that it can soften the fish bone. It must be noted here that these methods really do not work! Although vinegar is acidic, it passes through the throat for only 1-2 seconds, and it will never soften the fish bones. Swallowing rice is more dangerous and may push the fish thorns deeper.
A good way to deal with the cardfish spine is to seek medical attention at the first time, and under normal circumstances, the doctor can complete the removal in a few minutes.
Children are lively and curious, and the situation of swallowing foreign bodies in ordinary life also occurs from time to time, as a parent, in addition to stopping before the incident, you should also master the handling methods after swallowing, and save the child at a critical moment.
Family first aid for baby swallowing by mistake
When a baby is detected swallowing by mistake, first observe the baby's breathing. Early detection is the key to successful rescue. Parents should calm down, do not casually pat the baby's back or put your hand into the baby's mouth to cut, should dial the 120 emergency number at the same time, while immediately racing against the clock for rescue. Successful first aid within three minutes is critical to saving your baby's life and avoiding brain damage:
For babies over one year old, it is recommended to use Heimlich First Aid immediately.
Parents kneel behind the child, wrap their hands around the child, hold a fist in one hand, and stick the tiger's mouth to the center of the abdomen under the child's sword protrusion and above the navel. The other hand grasps the wrist of the hand, and then suddenly tightens the arms so that the fist-clenching mouth is violently retracted above the child's abdomen. This increased force of the diaphragm can squeeze the lungs and bronchi, pushing the foreign body out of the trachea. If the foreign body does not rush out, the parent should immediately relax the arm and repeat the above actions until the foreign body is discharged.
Babies under one year of age should apply the infant version of the Heimlich First Aid Method.
Parents have your baby face forward and lie on his forearm or leg with his head down. Support your baby's neck with one hand and clamp it tightly to prevent him from falling. The other hand then vigorously and aggressively pats the baby's back (between the shoulder blades on both sides), once per second, five times a second. If the baby does not expel the foreign body, quickly flip the baby over and lie on his back, still in a head-down and foot-high position.
Quickly press your baby's chest with your middle and index fingers, about 1 finger below the line of the two nipples on the baby's thoracic cage. Note that the pressure should be so that the pressure depth is about 1/3 or 1/2 of the thoracic cage of the baby, on average, once per second, and repeat the compression 5 times as a group, so that the foreign body rushes out.
Attention!
Parents should pay attention not to use the baby to practice when they are fine, and if they want to practice, they can use toys or pillows instead.
Another point to emphasize is that even if the baby's condition improves, parents should also be sent to the doctor in time, because the baby's body still has a foreign body that has not been discharged or remains foreign body. The Internet says that babies can pull foreign bodies out on their own, which is not suitable for all situations. Accidentally swallowed foreign bodies are likely to cause esophageal obstruction, peptic ulcers, perforations, bleeding and other dangers, and the baby must be sent to the hospital for examination in time.
