For 1-year-old and 4-month-old Chengdu baby Xiaoxi (pseudonym), it only took 7 hours to go from being alive at home to being sent to the pediatric intensive care unit of Chengdu Women and Children's Central Hospital.

The child received continuous blood purification therapy

Before at home, Xiaoxi suddenly fell unconscious and had convulsions when he was playing alone, and his family rushed over to see it and was shocked: Xiaoxi somehow opened the bottle of mosquito coil liquid placed at home and drank the mosquito coil liquid inside!

The family hurriedly sent the child to a nearby hospital, but the condition deteriorated rapidly, Xiaoxi soon appeared to be unable to speak, his limbs were stiff with shaking, his face was cyanotic with lips, his eyes were staring upward, with foaming at the mouth, cold limbs and other critical symptoms, the local hospital could not deal with it, and he was transferred to Chengdu Women and Children's Central Hospital for treatment non-stop.

When Xiaoxi was transferred to the children's intensive care unit, she was in a coma and her face was cyanotic with her lips. Parents said that they did not know what ingredients and how much mosquito coil their children drank, and could not provide effective clues.

The doctor immediately intubated the child's trachea, ventilated with a ventilator, and administered continuous blood purification in the hope of relieving the poisoning.

However, after 5 days of all-out rescue treatment, Xiaoxi's condition did not improve, and there was a progressive aggravation and deterioration, and finally passed away forever due to multiple organ failure.

This tragedy is a real case that happened in Chengdu Women and Children's Central Hospital. And such incidents of children being poisoned and hospitalized due to misinging and misusing mosquito repellent products occur every year.

Why is the electric mosquito repellent so "poisonous"

According to reports, the ingredients in the electric mosquito coil liquid are highly toxic, and the liquid electric mosquito coil uses the principle of hair straw to continuously heat and release insecticide substances.

After ingesting by mistake, young babies may appear: gastrointestinal discomfort, after oral administration of electric mosquito coil liquid, it can stimulate the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms.

If the patient eats a large amount and is not treated in time, the toxicity can act on the whole body, especially the nervous system, resulting in shortness of breath, short-term unresponsiveness, and obvious tremors and convulsions.

In critical cases, coma and even death may occur.

"Low toxicity", not non-toxic!

Generally speaking, the mosquito coil liquid is vaporized and diffused into the air, and the human body is in contact or inhaled, and the impact is minimal, but if the liquid state is mistakenly ingested into the digestive tract, the danger can not be ignored, especially the children's organs are more delicate, the metabolism is vigorous, and the compensatory ability is poor.

In case of accidental ingestion, immediately send to the hospital

Acute poisoning in children is the main cause of accidental injuries in children, and it is also the primary cause of death in children aged 1 ~ 4 years.

Factors such as the gradual enhancement of grasping ability, strong curiosity, and poor ability to identify surrounding risk factors in this age group increase the risk of misingestion in children.

In summer, mosquito repellent liquid is standard in almost every household, how to tell if the doll has mosquito repellent poisoning?

What are the manifestations of mosquito coil poisoning?

The toxic components in mosquito coils are mainly harmful to the nervous system, and the manifestations after poisoning are diverse.

There may be headache, dizziness, chest tightness, blurred vision, arrhythmia, coma, convulsions, convulsions, cough, symptoms of upper respiratory tract irritation, dyspnea, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, mouth ulcers, increased discharge and/or dysphagia, gastroesophageal ulcer, erosive gastritis, skin burning, itching, rash and other manifestations, coma and convulsions are the main manifestations of life-threatening.

What should I do if my child is mistakenly ingested?

The incubation period for acute poisoning with pyrethroid insecticides is 2 to 24 hours, most of which are 6 to 8 hours, and can be asymptomatic in the early stage. If your child is found to have taken it by mistake, go to the hospital immediately.

If the situation is serious, call 120 as soon as possible! Under the guidance of the doctor, do the initial treatment, and wait for the doctor to arrive at the scene to rescue. Be careful not to induce vomiting without authorization to prevent secondary injuries such as mucosal burns and aspiration.

Parents should also pay attention in daily life not to put bulk or liquid drugs, such as laundry detergent and pesticides, into plastic bottles, so that children are more likely to eat by mistake. Children's hospitals are also more likely to receive such children in emergency care.

If a child is found to have ingested these toxic substances, it is best to take them to the hospital immediately.

It is best not to use any mosquito repellent products for sensitive groups such as children or the elderly and pregnant women at home, and try to use physical mosquito repellent such as mosquito nets. If you must use it, try to put it in a ventilated place, do not use it for a long time, and it is even more harmful to light mosquito coils in an air-conditioned room overnight.

There are also some inferior mosquito coils, which replace pyrethroid with organophosphorus pesticides such as dichlorvos, although the mosquito repellent effect is increased, but the toxicity is relatively much greater. Young children are very sensitive to this kind of substance, if the air in the air-conditioned room is not circulated, it is likely to cause allergies, and in severe cases, dizziness, chest tightness and other poisoning phenomena, the same is true for electric mosquito coils.

Finally, children are active by nature

Parents should always pay attention to the safety of their dolls
