Pinching people who fainted, drinking vinegar for people who got stuck in fishbone, controlling water for people who drown...Do these little common sense of life sound reasonable? But in fact, they are all wrong, wrong, wrong. After all, it's a critical juncture, the wrong method is really terrible!
1: Fainted: pinching people
What if someone faints? Perhaps many people subconsciously pinch people, but in fact, pinching people will not only not save people, but will hinder first aid. When the thumb is pinched, the remaining four fingers will naturally be placed on the chin and forcefully, which will make the injured mouth tightly closed and the oral secretions cannot be discharged, causing more danger. The downward pressure of the fingers will also cause the injured to bow his head, aggravate the fall of the tongue, and cause blockage of the airways.
Suggestion: For people who fainted or comatose, the correct treatment is to raise the forehead and raise the chin (as shown in the figure below), let the patient lie on their back and raise the chin to remove foreign objects in the nose and mouth, so as to ensure smooth breathing and avoid more danger .
2. Burns: apply toothpaste, apply lard
Applying toothpaste or oil itself hinders heat dissipation, and toothpaste and oil are foreign bodies to the human body, which can easily cause wound contamination, aggravate scars, and affect wound healing.
Suggestion: After a normal scald, the first action should be rushing. Quickly rinse the burned area with cold water, or wrap a towel with ice cubes for cold compresses to reduce the temperature of the injured area, which can relieve pain and reduce further thermal damage to the tissue. It is best to continue this process for 10-15 minutes, until you feel no pain or the pain is significantly reduced.
3. Fishbone stuck in the throat: drink vinegar, swallow steamed buns
Let alone drinking vinegar, even if the fish bones are directly soaked in the vinegar, it will take a long time to soften. The action of swallowing steamed buns and rice may bring the fishbone deeper and deeper, puncturing the esophagus or puncturing the blood vessels, and the risk is greater.
Suggestion: If you feel that there is a fishbone stuck and the fishbone is not too big, you can try to cough hard. In many cases, the small fishbone will fall off with the airflow. If you can’t cough up, you can ask others to help and see if you can use tweezers to catch it. If you can't get it out, don't force it. Go to the hospital and let a professional ENT doctor or endoscopist handle it.
4. Nosebleeds: tilt your head back
Head upward movement will cause blood to flow back to the nasopharynx, causing aspiration, choking, or even suffocation, and blood flowing into the stomach may cause nausea and vomiting.
Suggestion: After nosebleeds, you should lower your head slightly and breathe with your mouth open. Let the blood flow from your nostrils, pinch the nose to press the bridge of your nose. If you can't stop the bleeding, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
5. Drowning, turn people upside down to control the water
Inverted water control not only cannot pour out the water in the lungs, but may cause reflux and aspiration of stomach contents, making the injured more dangerous. In addition, the ineffective operation of water control delays effective rescue opportunities such as chest compressions, which is really terrible.
Suggestion: After rescue the drowning person, he should lie down immediately, clean up the foreign objects in the nose and mouth, shout and pat. If there is no response, give artificial respiration and chest compressions immediately. During the pressing process, some water will flow out of the drowning person's mouth. You only need to tilt the head to allow the water to flow out, and then continue first aid.
