Recently, there was a little girl in Shangrao, Jiangxi, who was choked because of her food, but her father who was next to her was overwhelmed, but fortunately, the well-wishers who passed by used Heimlich's urgent method to rescue her, and the little girl was fortunate to get out of danger.
However, not all children have such luck. We can always see in the news: there are children who have accidental injuries and deaths, parents are around, and tragedies have occurred one after another. There are also the wrong first aid methods, the mother watched her 6-year-old son suffocate... Whenever I see such news, it is painful.
It is reported that about 3,000 children in China suffocate and die every year, and this accident occurs sometimes for a very short time, often 4-5 minutes can be fatal. Therefore, it is important to deal with emergencies in a timely and accurate manner, and sometimes half of life can be saved, and many families do not have to fall into tragedy.
First, the best doctor is still the parents around the child
When a child has an accident, most parents can't be completely calm, and from home to the hospital even if the speed is faster, it will exceed 4 minutes, resulting in missing the best rescue time, so don't expect the doctor who is not around, the best doctor is still the parents around the child.
According to the "Review Report on the Status of Injuries in Adolescents and Children in China" jointly released by the Chronic Disease Center of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Global Child Safety Organization, drowning, road traffic injuries, and falls/falls were the three major causes of injury and death in Chinese children from 2010 to 2015, and more than half of babies under 1 year old died of choking due to foreign bodies.
Caring for the healthy growth of children is the common mission of all parents, as a parent, learning first aid should not be an additional skill, but also as an essential skill.
Second, first aid methods should be learned
When the child eats, suddenly can not cough, can not speak, or blue face or even can not breathe, you can determine that the child's foreign body stuck in the throat.
Therefore, parents must learn some first aid methods, babies over 1 year old can use Heimlich first aid, and children less than 1 year old are recommended to use the "back pressing chest method".
1. Children over 1 year old, Heimlich First Aid
Children over 1 year old who have been stuck in the throat of a foreign body can use the Heimlich First Aid Method. Pick up the child, stand behind the child, let the child face down on his knees, parents hold a fist with one hand, with the thumb against the child's abdomen, the other hand to support the back of the child's neck, on the child's back pat about 1-5 times.
If the foreign body in the child's mouth has not been spit out, it is necessary to flip the child over or let the child lie on the ground, and the parents kneel down and place their middle fingers on the top of the child's chest and navel, quickly upward compression, pay attention to the strength, can not cause secondary damage to the child.
2. For infants under 1 year old, pat the back and press the chest
Babies under 1 year of age should use the back-pat chest press method, as Heimlich first aid may damage the internal organs of young children.
The method is to let the baby face down, lie on the parent's forearm, and force the baby's back to force about 5 times, the frequency is controlled at 1 second, the same should pay attention to the strength, not too heavy.
If the foreign body does not come out, turn the baby over to face the parents and use the parent's 2 fingers to squeeze the baby's sternum 5 times, the frequency is 1 time per second, until the baby spits out the foreign body.
Third, prevention in ordinary times is very critical
Remember the 5-year-old boy who died during a kindergarten nap? That morning, Xiao Wan finished eating the rice dumplings prepared by his mother and drank milk and went to school, noon dinner because of the teacher's education can not waste food, so he can only barely finish all meals, lunch break, because of eating too full, delayed in falling asleep, criticized by the teacher, can only lie down, but this lie, the child is gone, the test result is the child's stomach contents inhalation asphyxia and death.
Therefore, to avoid such tragedies in children, daily protection is very important, and parents should keep the following three points in mind:
First, you can't eat indiscriminately
Some foods will cause children to suffocate, such as frozen, twist flowers, candy, longan, long noodles, thorny fish, and various dried fruits, parents should pay attention to when eating for their children.
Second, eat well
Some children like to play and play when eating, like adults to chase and feed, and some adults also allow children to watch TV and eat in order to let children eat more, or force children to eat when they cry... These are very dangerous behaviors, they can make the child choke, and if the food enters the trachea, the consequences are very serious.
Third, don't eat too much, don't go to bed immediately after meals
The above kindergarten children are too full to have an accident, so when feeding their children, they can wait for the children to rest for half an hour before going to sleep. In addition, the baby should remember to burp after feeding, otherwise it is easy to cause the esophagus to flow backwards and choke on the milk.
