Children in accidents at home How do parents get proper first aid?

After the summer vacation, according to the investigation of the hospital, it was found that the summer and winter vacations each year were the peak period of accidental hospitalization. In the case of accidents at home, children often suffer from illness and mistreatment due to panic and mistreatment, and increase the suffering and injuries of children.

Specialists target 5 types of accidents

It is recommended that parents properly implement first aid measures

Nosebleed: Acupressure or hemostasis

Shiatsu Hemostasis:

If the amount of bleeding is small, parents can let the sick child sit down and use the thumb and forefinger to tightly press on both sides of the sick child's nose, press against the nasal septum, temporarily let the sick child breathe through his mouth, and apply to the forehead of the sick child. Cold water towels.

Pressure packing method:

If there is a large amount of bleeding, the parents use absorbent cotton rolled into strips of thick and thin nostrils to fill the nasal cavity. Be careful not to loosen the pressure. If the child still has bleeding, he should be sent to the hospital in time to stop the bleeding and find out the cause of bleeding.

Burns: Wash with tap water, do not tear clothes

The doctor pointed out that once the child burns, the parents should immediately rinse with water and soak the wound for about 15 minutes. Take off your child's clothing in time to minimize the risk of burns.

It is worth noting that the clothes must not be hard and hard to tear, so as to prevent skin damage, you can first cut off the clothes around the scald. In addition, do not use "toothpaste", such as applying toothpaste, soy sauce, etc., so as to avoid wound infection.

Sprain: First cold, then sent to hospital

The doctor emphasized that after a child sprains, parents immediately implement massages, hot compresses, and blood circulation plasters, which will only make the injured joints swell even more.

He suggested that immediately cold wounds, such as showering water, ice packs, etc., in order to allow blood vessels in the injured area to contract, prevent further internal bleeding and pain. Then immediately bring the child to the hospital for treatment.

Foreign matter enters the trachea: Remember "Hymlick's emergency method"

 

According to reports, the Heimlich Aid Act includes two specific measures.

The first is the "back-to-back" method . For children younger than 3 years old, parents can ask the children to kneel on the ambulance's knees, put their heads down, support their chests, and pat their backs so that the children cough up foreign bodies.

For older children, use the "push belly method." Parents can allow children to sit or stand. The rescuer stands behind him. He holds the child with both arms and makes a fist. The thumb is placed inwards between the umbilicus and the xiphoid process of the child, and the other hand holds it down. The fists, rhythmically pushing hard upwards and inwards to push the diaphragms up, press the bottom of the lungs to create a strong air flow in the lungs, which pushes them out of the trachea and forces the foreign bodies to escape with the air flow.

The doctor stressed that if the above method is invalid or the situation is urgent, parents should immediately send the child to the hospital.

Swallowing foreign objects: Do not induce vomiting

Doctors pointed out that when parents found that children swallowed pieces, coins, buttons, etc., as long as the child did not appear choking, breathing difficulties, lips and other suffocation hypoxic performance, you do not have to be too nervous, do not have to find ways to spit out the swallowed foreign body . Induced vomiting may sometimes cause foreign matter to be inhaled into the trachea and cause suffocation.

The doctor suggested that the correct approach is to go to the hospital. The doctor should make corrective measures based on the judgment of the nature and size of the foreign body.
