The "Heimlich First Aid Method", a first aid method to remove the blockage of foreign bodies in the upper respiratory tract, is known as the "embrace of life". Recently, a child in Chaonan liangying accidentally got stuck in the throat of candy, but fortunately, the family was not in danger, and quickly adopted the "Heimlik method" for first aid, and finally turned the danger into a disaster. And this scene was also filmed by the surveillance at home.
On the evening of May 17, Mr. Li of Liangying was lying on the sofa playing with his mobile phone when his 6-year-old son suddenly ran out of the room shouting. Seeing the eldest son bending over, covering his throat, and his face flushed, Mr. Li realized that the eldest son may have been stuck in the throat cavity by a foreign body. So he jumped up and quickly used the "Heimlich Method" for first aid.
After the child came out of the room, his hand was held here in his throat, his face was red, and he came to me, and as soon as I saw his mouth open, I thought that it might be stuck, so I went around behind him, pressed the child's abdomen with my hand, and lifted it six or seven times.

Mr. Li said that after about ten seconds, the child spat out a hard candy in his mouth, and his face gradually returned to normal.
At this time, the child's situation eased, things also came out, too much, the face returned to normal, all aspects were normal, I asked him if he clicked on the sugar, he nodded and said "yes".
--Mr. Lee
Mr. Li said that he had seen the relevant science of the "Heimlich First Aid Method" on TV, and he did not expect to use it on his son, which was really lucky.
I am very fortunate that I have seen this knowledge, there will be no bigger accidents, first aid, golden time is very important, to handle it properly, so as not to lead to serious consequences.
--Mr. Lee
According to Mr. Li, his son ate the hard candy on the table and caused the candy to get stuck, after this incident, he had a palpitation, and immediately put away the small items in the home to prevent the child from touching, at the same time, he also more deeply realized the importance of learning first aid knowledge.
The video of Mr. Li using the "Heimlik Method" to save his son at a critical moment has also aroused widespread concern, and many netizens have pinched a sweat for Mr. Li and said that they should learn first aid skills well. In fact, acute airway foreign body blockage is not uncommon in life, and because patients cannot breathe after airway blockage, it may lead to hypoxic death. The "Heimlich method" is an effective first aid method for suffocation caused by tracheal obstruction.
I think it is very correct for parents to take the measures of "Heimlich First Aid Method", children over 1 year old, so use the method of squeezing the upper abdomen and impacting the upper abdomen, that is, the "Heimlich method", its principle is to lift the diaphragm by impacting the upper abdomen, compressing to the two sides of the lung cavity, and the residual gas in the lung cavity is squeezed through the diaphragm, forming an upward air flow, and the foreign body of the trachea is flushed out, which is a physical principle.

The doctor pointed out that ordinary citizens can use simple "scissors", "stones" and "cloth" tips to remember the techniques and positions of the "Heimlich First Aid Method".
How to correctly judge the position, for unskilled people, use "scissors stone cloth", easy to remember, in the navel above the two horizontal fingers, the fist on the two horizontal fingers, and then with the palm of the fist, and then forceful impact, the upper body of the person leaned forward, forceful impact, stimulate the chest up, squeeze the gas of the lungs, through the airway to get out.

It should be noted that for infants and young children aged 1 year and pregnant women, the "Heimlich First Aid Method" is practiced differently.
The first aid method for 1-year-old infants and young children is to immediately put the child on the hand, support the neck with the palm of the hand, and then pat the back, then turn over, press the sternum 5 times with the index finger and middle finger, and then turn around and shoot 5 times, repeatedly do this action, this is the practice of 1 year old, pregnant women are squeezing the chest, because the stomach is pregnant, so you can't squeeze the stomach, you have to squeeze the chest, and it is also the principle of using the chest airflow.

Once you are stuck in the throat by a foreign body, and there is no one around to help, you can also use other objects to squeeze the abdomen until the foreign body is discharged.
If there is no one at home to help, you can find a stool yourself, squeeze the upper abdomen with the armrest of the stool, and impact the upper abdomen, which can also play the same role.
——Xie Yang, director of the emergency department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College
The doctor stressed that "Heimlich first aid", "cardiopulmonary resuscitation" and "AED defibrillation" are all very effective first aid methods in daily life, and it is recommended that everyone should learn to master.
