Children sitting in the shopping cart, what a lot of attention!
May 2, inside a large supermarket in Shenzhen.
The surveillance showed a boy standing on a shopping cart playing, and the parents took the goods and put them in the shopping cart, dragged the car and prepared to leave.
As a result, due to inertia, the boy fell straight back, hit the back of his head on the ground, and fell unconscious on the spot.
Insiders said that parents went to the supermarket to make a claim.
A few days ago, according to online chat records, the child fell and was paralyzed, and the parents asked Sam to lose money.
However, the online rumor Sam's store responded: There is no such incident, there is no security incident in the supermarket, and the network incident will not be commented.
And the latest official response also appeared on May 6: call 120 to check without hindrance.
Seeing this news, I have to sigh that this child is really lucky, but some children have not escaped this fate.
An emergency article by nurse Zhang Liping, who has worked in a hospital in Henan for more than 20 years, was widely circulated in the circle of mothers: "The child is just a bag on his head, but why did he die?" 》
It was a 1-year-old 11-month-old boy: "By the time I arrived at my home near Ruhe Road, the child was gone. ”
From the children's parents' crying one after another, nurse Zhang Liping learned:
The day before, the child was thrown out of the shopping cart, his head hit the ground, he only cried a few times and played as usual, and the next day, the parents woke up to find the child dead under the covers.
(The parties in the picture and text are not the same person)
Why is that?
Because the child may not have had intracranial hemorrhage after trauma, the child is behaving normally.
However, delayed intracranial hemorrhage may occur, and delayed intracranial hemorrhage usually occurs 72 hours after trauma.
No.01
If the child falls, do not hold it right away!
When the child falls, he is most afraid of hitting the back of the head.
Not only is there an accident in the shopping cart, it is very common for infants and young children to fall and fall to the head: some are from the chair, some are falling into bed, and even adults can fall when they hold it...
Yi Nengjing's beloved daughter Xiaomi once fell from the dining chair, and at that time only heard a loud "pop", and the child's head hit the ground on the spot, which sounded like a really light fall.
Yi Nengjing, who was at a loss, immediately picked up her daughter from the ground. Because of self-blame, he slapped himself a few times.
People are not sages, it is the mother's instinct to fall and pick up the first time, but remind everyone: this is wrong!
First, the child falls, do not pick up the child immediately, be sure to wait for about 1 minute.
Refer to the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines:
Do not pick up and move your child immediately.
If you suspect a neck injury, do not try to move, as the change in neck position will only worsen the injury. (Children are only allowed to move when they are on the edge of a cliff or at the scene of a fire)
Pay attention to whether the baby's crying is normal, whether his consciousness is clear, whether his limbs are normal, whether there is active bleeding, etc.
Generally speaking, observe for about 1 minute, if the baby cries loudly immediately after falling, and he can move, it may not be a big problem, and then gently pick up the baby.
When they see their child fall or fall, the vast majority of inexperienced mothers will immediately pick up the child, which is the instinctive action of parents. But this may increase the probability of secondary injury to the baby.
For example, if a child is stabbed by a sharp object when falling into bed, or has a neck or spine injury, parents may have secondary injuries when they pick it up.
Therefore, we need to stay calm in the first place.
Second, in the first 2 hours after injury, be sure to maintain close observation.
If your child is unconscious, has impaired movement of his hands and feet, etc., seek immediate medical attention.
If the baby is sleepy within these 2 hours, you can sleep, but you need to be closely observed.
After 2 hours of sleep, wake him up and observe whether he walks and talks normally. If something is abnormal, go to the hospital early.
3. Within 48 hours, it is a dangerous period
A lot of intracranial hemorrhages occur within 48 hours of trauma!
Therefore, 48 hours after the injury is a dangerous period for the child, and after completing the above management steps, the baby's condition should continue to be closely monitored.
If the child does not have abnormal behavior, eating, drinking, playing, sleeping, etc. can be carried out as usual, then it can be judged that there is basically no big problem, and parents do not have to worry too much.
For more detailed guidance, see the guidance of Dr. Lin Junhong, deputy chief physician of the respiratory department of our Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center.

Summary, 3 key time observation points:
1) Fall on the spot, observe for about 1 minute and then pick it up.
2) Within 2 hours after falling, closely observe the status.
3) 24~48 hours, if there is no abnormality, you can rest assured.
Long bag on the head
After some children fall and are injured, a "big bag" will appear on their heads. Commonly known as "subcutaneous hematoma", this condition is also more common, and some are as large as eggs.
The handling of this "big bag" can be referred to:
Within 24 hours of your child's injury, apply a cold towel to stop the capillary bleeding in the inner layer of the skin.
After 24 hours, warm towels can be applied to the wound.
Each hot compress lasts about half an hour, twice a day. After a month, apply a warm compress once a day until the hematoma subsides.
No.02
Within 48 hours, seek medical attention immediately if these 7 conditions occur.
Children are more likely to have headaches, vomiting, convulsions, and coma after a head injury than adults.
And the child's condition changes more than adults, deterioration faster, if the baby is found within 48 hours of the following abnormalities, you should take him to a regular hospital in time for examination:
● Changes in consciousness after head trauma, including: coma, strange behavior, and inability to recognize familiar people;
● A large bag of swelling on the head, open wounds and active bleeding on the head or other parts of the body;
● Unsteady walking, limb movement disorder or deformity;
● Vomiting more than 2 times;
● Crying all the time after being injured, unable to comfort;
● Pink or yellowish liquid from the ears and nose;
● There is a certain position on the body that is not touched.
In the following case, hit 120 immediately! No need to wait another 48 hours for observation.
The child was hit badly on the head and fell unconscious. Be sure not to pick up your child right away or touch your head, call 120 right away!
While waiting for the doctor to come, you need to do this:
Do not move your child, especially the neck, as this may cause secondary injury.
If the bleeding is severe, immediately press the wound with clean gauze or clothing for 5~10 minutes to stop the bleeding.
If breathing stops, give your child CPR right away.
No.03
100 emergency methods are no more than 1 prevention method.
1. When sitting in the shopping cart.
Do not allow children to sit alone, stand, or bounce around the shopping cart.
Some parents only care about purchasing goods or paying for it, and it is easy to miss their children, so before letting their children sit on the shopping cart, they must tell their children to "not stand up", and those with safety buckles must be buttoned.
Don't let your child climb the shopping cart by themselves, because the shopping cart is light overall, has poor stability, and it is easy to roll over if you are not careful.
2. Wear protective gear when cycling and skating.
To prepare protective equipment such as helmets and knee pads, some people think that it is okay not to wear them, at most to the knees, but once something happens... It's not just knee problems. Especially children who have just learned to skate, because of inertia, like to flip backwards.
3. Prevent babies from falling into bed.
Especially small babies, an accident that is not careless is prone to fall into bed and head injury.
Remember:
(1) Do not put the baby alone on the adult bed, table, cabinet and other furniture without fence. If you must put it, ensure that the TA is within your line of sight, and once the danger is found, it can be stopped in time.
(2) Lay safe and comfortable floor mats under the bed, such as sponge mats, thick blankets, etc. Doing so can reduce the physical damage your baby can do when he falls into bed.
(3) Make sure that there are no sharp and dangerous objects on the bedside and bed to avoid unnecessary injury to the baby.
(4) If you must add a guardrail to the crib, choose a wooden material, and the gap should be in the middle of 4.5-6.5 cm to avoid clamping the baby's head.
Children with head injuries may not express themselves, and adults do not see internal damage. However, if we know more about the first aid knowledge of head falls, we can also find the child's abnormalities in a more timely manner.
