According to Xinhua News Agency, the death toll of immigrants found by US law enforcement officers in a large truck compartment in San Antonio, Texas, rose to 51 on the 27th.
The consul general of Mexico in San Antonio, Texas, released information that the death toll in the death of container container truck immigrants in Texas has risen to 51. According to preliminary investigations, a large proportion of those killed died of suffocation.
The report said that the 18-wheeled large truck was found on the evening of the 27th when there were nearly 100 people crowded in the carriage. There was no water in the carriage and the air conditioning was not working. At least 16 people, including 4 minors, were taken to local hospitals for heat stroke and dehydration.
Since June, the Texas heat wave has been rolling in. Most of the dead were reportedly illegal immigrants, and their cause of death may have been linked to overheating. The U.S. Department of Meteorology said that the temperature in San Antonio on the 27th was as high as 39.4 degrees Celsius. And the temperature inside the crowded truck is even higher than outside. Police said they investigated and found that there was no water inside the carriage and no air conditioning facilities in operation. According to the recommendations of the National Association of Medical Laboratories, if the human body temperature reaches or exceeds about 40 degrees Celsius at the time of death, it should be judged to be a death related to overheating.
It was hot weather
Many parents sometimes leave the vehicle briefly
Leave your child alone in the car
Thought it would be fine with the air conditioner on
In fact, such an idea is wrong
When the temperature reaches 35 ° C
Sunlight for 15 minutes
The temperature in the closed compartment can rise to 65 °C
Staying in such an environment for half an hour can be fatal
Due to incomplete development of children
Body temperature rises and water is lost much faster than in adults
The respiratory system and heat tolerance are also not as good as those of adults
Therefore, it is easy to have "heat stroke" in the car.
How to call for help when a child is locked in a car?
In addition to parents to be careful and react to critical situations at the first time, parents should also teach their children some methods of self-help and rescue in ordinary life. Including emergency operations such as undoing the seat belt, honking the horn, unlocking the car door, and even telling the child that if there is only one person left in the car, he can get help by tapping the window to attract the attention of passers-by around him. Adults should promptly and promptly call the rescue number or contact the lock unlocking company.
First aid measures after rescue ?
After the child is rescued from the car, it is necessary to do some heat dissipation, hydration and other measures for the child in time, if the child has a coma, it is necessary to immediately send the doctor to explain the situation to the doctor, and help the doctor diagnose and treat the child in the shortest possible time.
Remember this recipe
Stretch (ID card) hand (mobile phone) also (child)
Want (key) money (wallet)
The heat is coming
Watch out for the "invisible killer" in the car
