Falls are a big deal for the elderly, what are the first aid measures for the elderly to fall?

At this time, we let the patient lie down, and at the same time call for help 120, or other personnel to ask for help, and at the same time ensure that if the patient vomits, must not suffocate, if vomiting, tilt the patient's head to one side, keep an airway open, observe the patient's breathing, and other situations and so on. If there is a patient fracture, we try to keep the broken end of the fracture clean and dry, waiting for rescue, if the patient has numbness or inability to move, we must take into account the possibility of spinal fracture, and do not easily move the patient, the patient fell to the ground, we must not two or three people to set up the patient and let him run, which will not help the patient recover, let the patient lie down, waiting for rescue, this is the best, while observing his heartbeat and breathing.

First of all, it is necessary to determine whether it is sudden death. The patient should be placed on a rigid plate immediately, and it is strictly forbidden to move. In the case of sudden cardiac death, cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be performed immediately, that is, percussion of the precordial area, chest compressions, mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration, etc., and emergency doctors should be called for treatment immediately.

Second, it is necessary to determine whether it is a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or a stroke. TIA refers to transient localized neurologic deficits or defects caused by lesions of the carotid arteries, vertebral arteries, and large arteries in the brain. Diabetic patients have a 2-3 times higher risk of TIA and stroke than non-diabetic patients.

Cerebral infarction often manifests as dizziness, vertigo, weakness of one limb, hemiplegia, and movement disorders. For such patients, they should be avoided as much as possible, and they should not be held by the patient and shaken and shouted in an attempt to wake the patient. The correct way to do this is to bring a chair to support the patient if he is sitting on the floor and has not yet collapsed, or he or she can be supported by a chair.

If the patient has completely collapsed, the patient can be slowly lowered to the supine position while carefully tilting his head to one side to prevent suffocation due to vomit entering the trachea. At the same time as the first aid at the scene, you should call a doctor to come to the rescue as soon as possible.

Third, it is necessary to determine whether there is a fracture. Do not rush to lift a person who has suffered a fracture due to a fall, otherwise, not only will the injury and bone misalignment be aggravated, but some fractures, such as spinal fractures, may damage the spinal cord and cause paraplegia. All those suspected of having fractures will be treated according to fractures, that is, let them be quiet, keep warm, stop bleeding, relieve pain, and prevent shock; Wrap it with gauze and bandages, and then fix it in place; If a spinal fracture is suspected, the injured person's body should be kept still, and it is strictly forbidden for one person to hold his head and another person to lift his feet and other uncoordinated movements.

Immediately transferred to the hospital after fixation.

Through the above introduction of the reasons for the fall of so many elderly people, we all know that the elderly with some special diseases really can't be in a hurry to get up after falling, otherwise it may cause serious consequences. The treatment methods for these elderly people after falling are very practical, and if we go out and encounter an elderly person who has fallen similarly, we can use these good methods to help rescue.

Actively maintain physical and mental health, actively ** geriatric diseases, osteoporosis, etc., do not compound drugs without authorization, and pay attention to regulating and improving mental health.

The elderly should try to go out alone as much as possible, and should also use crutches when going out, and at the same time do not go to dangerous places in their daily life, and should also try to walk on flat roads.

In life, you should avoid strenuous exercise, you must be slow in the process of walking, and then you can use crutches appropriately when walking, which will make the body much more stable, and you should also eat some foods with high nutritional value in ordinary times.

If I encounter an elderly person falling, I will take the following measures to deal with it.

From the perspective of emergency first aid, when encountering an elderly person who has fallen, first judge his state of consciousness. If he is unconscious, unconscious, or even accompanied by vomiting and other symptoms, he should lie flat on his back with his head turned to one side to keep his airway open. Then unbutton your shirt and call for help quickly, dialing 120 quickly.

Pay attention to keep warm in winter, and pay attention to isolation on the hot ground in summer. "Because of the lack of consciousness, it may be a stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, or cerebral infarction, and if you move blindly, the bleeding may be further aggravated. If the cause of syncope is unknown, quickly lifting him up may make the brain damage worse.

If the elderly person is conscious, he can ask carefully about the special pain and discomfort. If you have a lot of pain in your leg or lower back, you may have a broken bone. When you break a bone, remember not to move it easily, take good care of it, and use first aid**.

At this time, moving may cause the fracture to be misaligned and cause secondary injury, so waiting for 120 is a good solution.

When exercising for the elderly, on the premise of ensuring safety, attention should be paid to strengthening functional exercises such as balance, muscle strength, and endurance. When the elderly go out, it is recommended to slow down their walking, wear non-slip shoes, keep their hands in their pockets, and use a cane if necessary.

In short, the elderly must pay attention when traveling, and if necessary, they should wear relevant information, such as the health card of the elderly or the relevant information of the mobile phone, etc., so as to facilitate timely contact with the family, and for the health card of the elderly, if there is a problem, they will also get timely help.

The elderly fall to the ground, which is usually divided into two situations. One is that the elderly are unconscious and should not be called. At this point, you should call emergency services** immediately.

If the elderly are conscious, they should first ask the elderly about the fall and whether they have any memory of the fall process, if they cannot remember the fall process, it may be syncope or cerebrovascular accident, and the elderly should be immediately escorted to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment or call for emergency treatment**.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese virtues, when we see an old man falling, we should immediately help the old man up, but how can it become a hot topic now? The reasons for this are worth pondering. This is because in social life, there are some people who use falls to carry out extortion, and many people become innocent victims.

Those who go to help the elderly, they should be worthy of our praise for their good deeds, but in the blink of an eye, they become victims, which should not be, the direct result of this phenomenon is that there will be fewer and fewer people who do good deeds, and more and more people will take a hesitant attitude in the face of this kind of thing, or simply ignore it, if it continues to develop, it will not be conducive to creating a good social and moral environment. It is very disadvantageous for individuals and for society, so when facing the elderly who have fallen, we should do the following.

1. Stay vigilant, film the whole process of the matter, and rescue scientifically.

When you meet an elderly person who has fallen, you must observe the surrounding situation, and at the same time record the whole process of the incident with your mobile phone, and take scientific methods to rescue.

2. Possess certain medical knowledge.

Some elderly people suddenly faint after falling, and at this time, we need to master scientific medical knowledge.
