The birth of each baby
These are the best gifts from God to parents
Therefore, every mom and dad when taking care of their baby
will be extra meticulous
However, not so long ago
A case happened in Longgang Bantian, Shenzhen
A 7-month-old baby drowned at home
The reason behind this is sad!
️️️
The woman fell unconscious for 15 minutes
Waking up unresponsive in the tub
At 17:50 on August 10, at a resident's home in Bantian Longgang, Shenzhen, her husband had not returned from work, and his wife Ah Ling (pseudonym), who was alone at home with her baby, was bathing her 7-month-old baby, when she suddenly fell to the ground and was unconscious.
At 18:05, Ah Ling regained consciousness and quickly checked the baby who was still in the bath, and found that the baby drowned in the water and picked it up without reacting.
At 18:13, Ah Ling dialed 120 for help and began to perform CPR on the baby without interruption under the guidance of the 120 dispatcher until 120 emergency personnel arrived.
At 18:27, during the rush hour, the emergency personnel made every effort to rescue and at the same time 120 immediately activated the linkage mechanism, asking the Shenzhen traffic police to send an iron horse to escort the ambulance to Shenzhen Children's Hospital.
Unfortunately, the baby was never saved.
And this incident happened
Precisely because of the invisible killer - epilepsy!
In fact, there are many more serious accidents caused by epilepsy!
At about 16 o'clock on May 4, 2022, Liu drove along Jiangyuan Street in Baishan, Jilin from west to east, suddenly accelerated into the opposite lane, and crashed into roadside vehicles and passers-by, resulting in 6 deaths and 2 injuries. After investigation, he fell into an unconscious state due to sudden epilepsy at the time of the incident.
01
Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease
People who have this disease
Many start seizures at an early age
There are many forms of seizures
Common symptoms during seizures –
Common symptoms during seizures are limb twitching, foaming at the mouth, loss of consciousness, and some less common manifestations, such as stunned, frequent chewing and swallowing, aimless circles in place, constantly waving arms...
Recurrent seizures can cause physical and mental damage to the patient. And the sudden loss of consciousness and muscle rigidity caused by epilepsy is very important for walking, driving, exercising... of people, it is an accidental injury.
02
If someone around you has a seizure
What should I do?
Remember "five yes, five don't"
Saving lives in critical moments
Actually, someone encounters seizures
Just "leave it alone"
Calm and quiet should be maintained
Do not shout or shake the patient
Stay by your side to ensure patient safety
This can also be done if possible
The patient can be placed in a safe position, away from dangerous objects and furniture or other sharp, hard objects, to reduce the harm to the patient's body during the attack.
Those who have the conditions can help the patient to the bed, and those who are too late can make him lie down to prevent the loss of consciousness and fall.
During seizures, soft objects may be placed under the patient's head if conditions permit.
Lie flat and quickly loosen the neck and waist, tilt the head to one side to prevent suffocation and aspiration, and remove secretions from the mouth and nose.
If possible, the patient's symptoms and time of seizure can be recorded.
Don't "save people" like this
Do not use methods such as pinching, finger wrenching, neck pulling, back beating, etc., which will have no effect on the patient.
Do not stuff anything into the patient's mouth until the patient is awake, and avoid pouring medicine to prevent suffocation.
Do not press on the limbs during the patient's seizures, as excessive force may cause fractures and muscle strains, increasing the patient's pain.
Do not try to open the patient's mouth, put a finger in his mouth or try to grab the patient's tongue.
Do not perform CPR on people with seizures (which may be mistaken for cardiac arrest due to signs such as loss of consciousness, facial bruising, and breath holding during sudden seizures). Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is required only after the seizures have stopped, carefully observing the patient's reaction and breathing, and if it is already unresponsive and not breathing, it is cardiac arrest, in which case cardiopulmonary resuscitation is required.
03
Be sure to remember
Once a seizure occurs, it cannot be stopped
Until the neuron stops firing abnormally
If the following situations occur, you should immediately call 120 to send you to the doctor in time -
(1) First seizure.
(2) Persistent seizures or frequent seizures, persistent seizures greater than 5 minutes.
(3) Injuries and difficulty breathing during the attack.
Police reminder
1. Patients with epilepsy should try not to go out alone, and when necessary, they should carry the "epilepsy ambulance card" and drugs, which should write the patient's name, age, disease, home address, telephone number, etc. Don't leave a mother with epilepsy alone at home to care for a young child.
2. The Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses clearly states that those suffering from epilepsy shall not apply for a motor vehicle driving license.
3. Do not participate in intense competitive sports activities, nor engage in overly intense mental work.
