What family first aid methods do you know?

There are many causes of suffocation, and the first aid of suffocation should be based on its **. The cause of airway obstruction and hypoxia is relieved, and some patients can recover quickly. The specific measures are as follows:

1 First aid for airway obstruction Lift the lower jaw of the comatose patient or press the forehead to the back of the neck, so that the head is straightened and tilted back, and the base of the tongue is lifted backward to clear the airway. Oropharyngeal vomitus, blood clots, sputum, and other foreign bodies are then scooped up or withdrawn with a finger or suction device. When a foreign body slides into the airway, the patient can be placed on his stomach and squeezed out by patting the back or pressing on the abdomen.

2 Rescue for neck strangulation The choke or rope in the neck should be loosened or cut immediately. Artificial respiration is performed immediately after respiratory arrest, and high-concentration oxygen can be given if the patient has weak breathing.

3 First aid in case of suffocation by smoke See "Rescue for fire".

4 First aid for severe chest injuries Semi-recumbent position, sputum suction and blood clots are given, the respiratory tract is kept unobstructed, oxygen is inhaled, pain is relieved, the chest is closed, the rib fracture is fixed, and the hospital is sent to the hospital for first aid.

Try not to pick up the blisters after the scald blisters, even if you accidentally break the blisters, don't tear off the layer of the blisters, please let it cover the scald area directly, which can be used as a barrier to resist external infections. If you have a special burn ointment, do not apply toothpaste or other items to the burn area, even if you don't have one.

When you have a cold, who doesn't have a headache, nasal congestion or runny nose. Nasal congestion is indeed a maddening thing. Many cold medicines contain ingredients that relieve runny nose and nasal congestion, and the effect is also very good, but for friends who are driving or doing physical work, it is better to consult the pharmacy before taking them, because some cold medicines will make you sleepy.

If you don't want to take medicine, you can try a humidifier to increase the humidity of the air, and use a hot towel to warm the base of the nose, or nasal drops can also be bought in general pharmacies. ‍‍

Whether it is an emergency or an accident, including traffic accidents, the incidence of various natural and man-made disasters is increasing significantly. Lives are threatened and health is challenged. There are quite a few people in the prime of life who should be showing their talents and demeanor to the society, but they have lost their lives due to critical illnesses and accidents.

Many of them can be saved, they can be "spared". For example, more than 1 2 of the deaths from acute myocardial infarction occur within one hour of the onset of the disease. The reason for this is the occurrence of serious comorbidities.

That is, serious comorbidities devour the patient's life. If the right first aid measures can be taken at the scene in a timely manner, many lives can be saved. Many medical experts in China pointed out in their research reports that popularizing the first-aid knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation to the public can significantly improve the success rate of rescue of critical and severe heart disease and reduce the threat of sudden death to life.

How much does it matter how much people have to do with the popularization of first aid knowledge? We know that the most serious of critical illnesses is respiratory cardiac arrest. There is no "storehouse" of oxygen in the human body, and the cessation of circulation means that the oxygen** is interrupted, and the cells will soon die from lack of oxygen.

If CPR is performed within 4 minutes, a high percentage of patients will survive. If more than 10 minutes are reprocessed, it is extremely rare to be able to save lives. Even if a very small number of people are revived, they often leave serious sequelae, impaired intelligence and even become "vegetative".

This is because of the damage caused by the lack of oxygen to the cells of the brain for too long. The only correct way to treat the patient is to immediately be at the patient's side and perform effective CPR. At present, many developed countries have proposed the "first witness" rescue, which is often the key to the success or failure of rescuing respiratory and cardiac arrest.

When we encounter a critically ill patient, on the one hand, we provide emergency and necessary care at home or other scenes. At the same time, you should also immediately call the emergency center, first aid station or nearby medical institution, family doctor**, and ask medical personnel to come to help.

Home first aid refers to temporary rescue measures taken in the face of sudden occurrence of critically ill patients and injured people in accordance with the conditions available to the family. As the saying goes: "The sky has unpredictable storms and clouds, and people have good and bad luck", and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no unexpected acute illness and pain in family life.

Therefore, the family should not only prepare some simple and reliable rescue equipment and medicines at any time, but also enable adult family members to master some general and appropriate first-aid knowledge and operation techniques, so as to avoid being at a loss in the event of an emergency, facing critically injured and sick people, and losing the opportunity to rescue.

However, home first aid is often not complete and reliable, not omnipotent, it is in most cases to buy time, prolong the validity period of treatment, and provide conditions for sending to the hospital for further treatment.

Home care mainly refers to the care of patients with occasional diseases who do not need to be hospitalized** or those with chronic diseases who do not need to be hospitalized**, as well as patients with certain infectious diseases. Mastering some knowledge about nursing and scientifically arranging the daily diet for sick relatives will undoubtedly help the health of the patient's ** and other family members.
