In the past two weeks, the Emergency Department of the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou has received 3 children injured due to the accidental ingestion of corrosive agents, of which 1 was particularly seriously injured, and the lips, mouth, pharynx and larynx were all corroded, and their condition was critical for a time.
Liu Shiyi, Deputy Director of the Emergency Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine:
The child mistakenly took a pipe unclogging agent, which was made of caustic soda. From the perspective of toxicology, it is a strongly corrosive chemical, and strong cauterization corrosion can cause damage to the stomach.
Coincidentally, last week, when a two-year-old boy in Jiangxi was playing alone at home, he accidentally ate the rat poison mixed with sweet potato rice in the corner of the room, and then began to spit white foam and convulse. Immediately after admission, the doctor intubates the child's trachea, and at the same time performs blood purification, and finally the vital signs are temporarily stabilized. In mid-March, a two-year-old boy in Heilongjiang mistakenly ate his parents' diet pills as chocolate, and then he became unwell and rushed to the doctor. Many cases of miseeded children deserve the attention of parents.
According to the survey, nearly 50,000 children aged 0-14 die from accidental injuries in China every year, an average of more than 130 per day, and according to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, child unintentional injuries in mainland China account for 26.1% of total child deaths.
Today (March 28) is the 27th National Primary and Secondary School Students Safety Education Day, children's safety is no small matter, this knowledge, please be sure to tell your children.
Common detergents, such as disinfectant liquids, pipe uncloggants, laundry detergents, shampoos, etc., will be a safety risk for children if they are accidentally ingested.
Director Liu proposed that the consumption of modern household cleaning products is increasing, usually liquid, powdery or granular, such products are small and colorful, children are easy to mistake candy into the mouth, remember to tell children that this kind of thing can not be eaten. If there is a case of accidental eating, parents must not deal with it themselves, and must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible!
First, send to the doctor as soon as possible, send it yourself or dial 120;
Second, remember the name of the brand of the drug or detergent you took by mistake, and you can take the box directly to the hospital or take a picture so that the doctor can easily find out what chemicals it also has.
