The first aid measures after the inevitable earthquake of M s7.2 in Myanmar

At 21:55 on April 13, Beijing time, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake occurred in Myanmar (23.14 n, 94.87 E). The tremor was obvious in Dehong Dai Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China, which borders Myanmar. China Seismic Network officially determined that at 21:55 on April 13, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake occurred in Myanmar (23.14 n, 94.87 E), with a focal depth of 130 km. So far, there have been no reports of casualties or property damage, Reuters reported and USGS reported.

Dehong Dai Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan province borders on Myanmar, with a border line of more than 500 kilometers. When the earthquake occurred, the state felt an obvious earthquake. Seeing such news, we can only hope that everyone is safe, that everyone affected by the earthquake can get help early, that there is less death and more hope for survival. The damage caused by the earthquake to human beings is huge. Let's learn about the emergency measures after the earthquake. Five principles of first aid in fracture Scene 1. The first principle of first aid in severe trauma scene is to save life. If it is found that the heartbeat and respiration of the wounded have stopped or are near to stop, external chest compression and artificial respiration shall be carried out immediately; the comatose patients shall keep their respiratory tract unobstructed and remove the foreign matters in their oropharynx in time; the patients with conscious disorders can acupuncture the points in their middle and Baihui; the wounds of the open fracture wounded can have a large amount of bleeding, which can generally be compressed and bandaged with dressings to stop bleeding. If tourniquet is used to stop bleeding in severe bleeding patients, the time of starting to use tourniquet must be recorded, and the tourniquet should be relaxed once every 30 minutes (30-60 seconds each time) to prevent limb ischemia and necrosis. In case of the above life-threatening fracture patients, they should be transported to the hospital quickly for treatment. 2. Wound treatment: in addition to timely and proper hemostasis, the open wound should be immediately wrapped with sterile gauze or clean cloth to prevent the wound from being polluted. Foreign bodies on the surface of the wound should be removed, and the exposed fracture end should not be pushed into the wound to avoid contamination of deep tissue. If possible, it is better to wash the wound with potassium permanganate and other disinfectants before bandaging and fixing. 3. It can reduce the pain of the wounded and the continuous injury of the surrounding tissues, and also facilitate the transportation and transfer of the wounded. But first aid is temporary. Therefore, we should strive to be simple and effective, do not require accurate reduction of fractures; open fractures with exposed ends are more unsuitable for reduction, but should be fixed in situ. Local materials can be obtained at the scene of first aid, such as sticks, slats, branches, walking sticks or cardboard, etc., which can be used as fixation equipment, and the length of which shall be determined by fixing the upper and lower joints of the fracture. If no fixed hard object can be found, the injured limb can also be tied directly to the body with cloth belt. The fractured upper limb can be fixed on the chest wall, so that the forearm is suspended on the chest; the fractured lower limb can be fixed together with the healthy limb. 4. It is necessary to relieve pain. After severe trauma, strong pain stimulation can cause shock, so necessary painkillers should be given. Such as oral analgesic tablets, can also be injected painkillers, such as morphine 10 mg or dolantin 50 mg. However, those with brain and chest injury should not be injected with morphine to avoid inhibition of respiratory center. 5. After the above-mentioned on-site rescue, the wounded shall be transferred to the hospital quickly and safely for treatment. During transportation, the movement shall be light and stable to prevent vibration and damage of limbs, so as to reduce the pain of the wounded; the warm keeping and appropriate activities shall be paid attention to. The four commonly used hemostasis methods include skin damage, blood vessel and nerve rupture, fracture and so on. Bleeding is very common. The visible bleeding is called external bleeding. As long as it is not major artery bleeding, there are more chances to be saved. It is not easy to judge internal bleeding. When the amount of bleeding reaches a certain level, the injured will be shocked and painful. 1. Press: when the wound is bleeding, press the bleeding area with your hand. There are two kinds: one is the direct compression of the wound, which can effectively stop bleeding whether it is directly pressed on the bleeding area with clean gauze or other cloth. The other is finger pressure hemostasis. Press the finger on the bone near the heart end of the bleeding artery to block the blood supply, so as to achieve hemostasis. The latter needs training to learn. 2. Package: the material used for binding is gauze, bandage, elastic bandage or clean cotton cloth or pad made of cotton fabric. The principle of binding is to cover first and then wrap, with moderate strength. First cover and then wrap, that is, first cover the wound with dressing (enough large and thick cotton fabric pad), and then use bandages or triangular bandages. This is because the common gauze is easy to rub the wound, which makes the subsequent treatment more difficult. Moderate strength refers to the effective hemostasis after bandaging, and the artery at the distal end is still pulsating; if the bandaging is too loose, the hemostasis will not be effective; if the bandaging is too tight, it will cause ischemia and anoxia necrosis of the distal tissue. 3. Plug: it is used for filling and hemostasis of armpit, shoulder, nose and mouth or other blind tube injuries and tissue defects. It is to tightly fill the cavity or tissue defects with cotton fabric until the bleeding is stopped. After filling, the wound was covered with dressings and then bandaged to stop bleeding. The danger of this method is that packing cotton fabric with pressure may cause local tissue damage, and at the same time bring the external dirt into the body to cause infection, especially the infection of anaerobic bacteria often leads to tetanus or gas gangrene. So, try not to use this method unless necessary. 4. Bundling: tourniquet hemostasis is usually used in surgery to control limb hemorrhage is effective, but it may cause nerve and muscle damage, and also cause systemic complications due to limb ischemia. Do not use this method unless it is absolutely necessary. Tourniquets do not directly contact with the skin, using cotton as a pad. The tension of upper tourniquet should be suitable. The looser the tourniquet, the better the tourniquet. The tourniquet should be loosened regularly, once every 40-50 minutes. When loosening, the tourniquet should be pressed by hand for 2-3 minutes to stop bleeding, and then the tourniquet should be tightened again. Make clear marks, record the time of tourniquet and inform the replacement. The total time of tourniquet should not exceed 2-3 hours.

After the earthquake, the first time is to take rescue, so mastering some emergency measures after the earthquake is very good for yourself and others, so that you can continue your life and others' life, reduce the damage caused by the earthquake, the earthquake can not be avoided, but the rescue after the earthquake can be predicted.
