A 4-year-old boy gets caught in an escalator gap with his right foot
The thumb of the right foot is clipped off
On the morning of July 18, the parents took 4-year-old Lele shopping in a shopping mall in Shenzhen, and when they got on the escalator, Lele suddenly heard a scream.
4-year-old Lele's right foot was caught in the gap in the escalator, and then the surrounding security personnel quickly pressed the escalator and "rescued" the child's foot after prying the escalator. At that time, the parents found that Lele's right toe had been clipped off.
The child's father, Mr. Yan (pseudonym), introduced that at that time, the child's grandfather took Lele to the mall to shop, and when he took the escalator, the child's shoes were too close to the edge of the running escalator, and his right foot was caught in the elevator together with his shoes, until he heard the child's cry, and the grandfather found out that something was wrong.
"At that time, a security guard next to the handrail pressed the emergency pause button, and after the escalator stopped, the staff of the mall helped to remove the splint of the escalator, took out the child's foot, and quickly called 120." "At that time, the thumb of the ball of the right foot was directly broken, and only the tendons remained."
On the same day, Lele was sent to many hospitals and was told that the child was too young and his injuries were serious. Finally, Mr. Yan's family took the child to the Department of Hand and Foot Surgery of Shenzhen Border Inspection Station Hospital for treatment.
Zhu Junhua, deputy chief physician of the Department of Hand and Foot Microsurgery at Shenzhen Border Inspection Station Hospital, said that the child was sent to the hospital at one o'clock in the afternoon, and the toe injury was very serious. "The child went to four hospitals, and three or four hours after the injury, he came to our hospital, the parents were very nervous, the children were crying, and the whole big toe was connected to a flexor tendon, and all the others were broken. The situation is urgent, such a hot day, (big toe) ischemia for a few hours, which also increases the difficulty of later replantation."
The surgery lasts for 6 hours
The child's toes are successfully restitched
The doctor immediately examined the child, and from the photos of the child's toe injury at that time, it can be seen that the big toe of the child's right foot is only connected to the ball of the foot.
"The big toe of the child's right foot has an avulsion fracture, the flexor tendon is connected below, and all the others are broken, this injury is more serious, and the limb also has a certain contusion."
In the process of rebuilding the blood vessels and nerves of the child's toes, Zhu Junhua found that the child's blood vessels were not long enough after they were withdrawn, and he could only find blood vessels matching the toes in the superficial veins of the child's ankle for transplantation, and after reconnecting the blood vessels and nerves, the child's toes were sutured. The operation lasted 6 hours and finally succeeded in restitching the child's toes.
Zhu Junhua introduced that it is more difficult for children to replant their limbs, and it is more difficult to operate on their toes. "The toes are at the farthest end of the limb, the microcirculation is relatively poor, the injured part is in the toes, the position of the patient and the doctor during the operation is more difficult, and the risk of anesthesia for children is greater."
"The child's blood vessels are also relatively thin, after extraction, the length of the arteries and veins is not enough, we take relatively matching blood vessels in the superficial veins on the inside of the child's ankles and transplant them to the toes to restore the blood supply of the toes, and the blood vessels of the superficial veins have no effect on the child, just leave a little scar." Zhu Junhua introduced that Lele was in good condition after the operation, no other adverse reactions were seen, and the child's toe blood supply was currently in good condition.
Doctor's reminder: Pay attention to the safety of children during the holidays, especially in public places, areas with a lot of people, mechanical equipment or accumulations, which are easy to cause accidental injuries to children. "Every summer vacation is a high incidence of accidental injuries to children, and in the recent typhoon weather, it is also necessary to avoid the situation of children's fingers being smashed by doors in windy weather."
Children riding escalators, elevators,
Beware of these security risks
Summer vacation is coming, children are lively and active, plus slender limbs, in shopping malls, subway stations and other public places, parents should strengthen the supervision of children.
1. The more dangerous place of the escalator is also the 6mm gap between the comb plate and the pedal. This gap is large enough to hold the fingers of a toddler. Firefighters tip, "Parents should guide children to stand within the safe area of the yellow line, and at the same time tell children not to run around on the elevator or climb up and down." ”
2. In some shopping malls, the escalator and the building will form an angle, and the body collides with the beam at the angle and is easy to be injured. When riding the ladder, do not extend your head, hands, feet, etc. beyond the escalator. Once an unexpected situation such as someone falls on the escalator, press the emergency stop button in time.
Take the escalator with children
These 10 points should be remembered
1. In the case of a large number of people, it is best for children before the age of 3 to be held by adults.
2. When sitting on the escalator, do not put the child in the stroller or shopping cart; Parents can choose to pick up their child or take the elevator.
3. Children under the age of 5 try not to wear hole shoes when taking the elevator, sandals with very soft materials are easy to be involved in the escalator, and after being involved, the safety device of the elevator may not be started in time to stop the elevator.
4. When standing on the escalator, parents should hold the child's hand, and it is best to let the child stand in front of his body.
5. Teach children not to step on the yellow safety warning line and the parts where the two steps are connected, because this is the most likely to be stuck.
6. Let the child know the location of the emergency stop button of the escalator.
7. Do not let the child put his hands in the gap between the steps and the apron board.
8. Children are not allowed to take things (mobile phones, PDAs, etc.) on the steps of the escalator. Because if something falls, you pick it up, and the elevator is always running, so there will be a stampede.
9. Do not let children sit on the elevator, do not go backwards, climb, play, lean or scramble.
10. When riding the escalator, you must not squeeze into the crowded escalator, it is best to keep a distance of one or two steps from other passengers going up and down the steps.
Take the lift with children
These 3 points should be remembered
1. Strictly supervise when the child is in or near the elevator, especially when entering and exiting the elevator.
2. Parents should lead by example and avoid using their arms to block the elevator door when the elevator is closed.
3. Do not press the button indiscriminately when taking the elevator. If the overload bell rings, exit immediately and wait patiently for the next elevator.
