First Aid Sense: Choking First Aid Learning - Heimlich Aid

On the 17th , the TV series “Surgical Storm” began broadcasting on Zhejiang Satellite TV and Beijing Satellite TV. In the first episode, Professor Zhuang Shu from the University of California Medical Center visited Jiahe Renhe Hospital to see a patient with hemoptysis. After the suffocation fell to the ground, he immediately approached the rescue, turned the patient on his lap, patted the back of the patient, and shot the blood clot stuck in the airway, saving the patient's life. Professor Zhuang's emergency treatment method is amazing. What is it like about it?

What is Heimlich Aid?

Acute respiratory foreign body obstruction is not uncommon in life. Because the patient cannot breathe after obstruction of the airway, it may cause accidental death due to lack of oxygen.

For patients with massive hemoptysis, the patient must first be prevented from obstructing the respiratory tract. If a large amount of hemorrhage cannot be promptly ejected, the blood clots will block the respiratory tract and cause rapid suffocation of the patient, resulting in death of the patient.

Zhuang Shu's method is Heimlich Maneuver , also known as Hai's First Aid Method . It was the American physician Henry Haim Leck invented in 1974 to use the residual gas from the lungs to form air currents to flush out foreign objects. First aid method. Within 12 years later, Hay maneuver saved the lives of 10,000 people, has the world's standard method to rescue foreign body patient.

What is the principle of the Heimlich Aid Act?

What is the principle of Hai's emergency treatment? We know that the human body has two left and right lungs. The lungs are full of gas. The human body breathes oxygen through the lungs and discharges the carbon dioxide out of the body to maintain normal human functions. We can use the human lungs as a balloon and the trachea as the balloon's mouth. When a person inhales, the "balloon" will increase. When he exhales, the "balloon" will become smaller if it is because of foreign objects. "Gas mouth children" blocked, people can not normally breathe. If we squeeze the “balloon”, we may flush out foreign objects that obstruct “gas mouth”. When we hit the abdomen or pat the back, it will cause a sudden increase in the patient’s chest pressure, oppressing the lungs and increasing the pressure of the trachea. Foreign body discharge. This is the principle of Hai's emergency treatment.

How do we learn about Hai's First Aid?

The operation method of Hai’s emergency treatment is not difficult. If you have mastered the points, you can easily learn.

1. First aid adults: The ambulancemen stand behind the patient and embrace their abdomen from behind. They use their hands to surround each other's waist and abdomen. They make a fist with one hand, and the other hand clicks on the fist and hits the upper abdomen with a violent force. Make the air in the other's lungs form a burst of external impulses, using this time the external air flow, the food or foreign objects stuck in the throat out of the victim's body.

2. Self-emergency: If there is no other person around to save, you can take self-rescue by searching for a harder item like the back of the chair or the edge of the table. Use the body to press it quickly to make a rapid impact and increase the inside of the chest. The pressure creates an air flow that flushes out foreign objects.

3 , First aid for unconscious patients: A coma patient is unable to cooperate because of lack of consciousness. This brings a certain degree of difficulty to the rescue. The rescue can turn the patient over, place the abdomen on a thigh of the rescuer, and then slam the patient. On the back, until foreign objects rush out, Zhuangshu is the method used. Alternatively, the patient may be placed in a supine position first, and then straddled on the patient's thigh or both sides. The both hands of the two hands are placed on top of the patient's navel, and the palm roots are pressed forward and under the pressure suddenly and repeatedly.

4 , the child's first aid: should immediately hold the child up, one hand and hold the child on both sides of the cheekbones, arms close to the child's chest, the other hand supporting the child's neck, let his face down, 趴In the rescuer's knee.
