Infants and young children are very small and fragile lives. In case of emergency, parents are required to have some first aid knowledge ~ follow the editor to have a look~
Why is the first thing you have to do in any emergency that requires first aid is to take five to ten seconds to do the examination. In this way, you can understand what happened and what needs to be done:
● if the child is old enough, ask him what happened and let him show you where he was injured.
● is the child unconscious? If so, remember the first rule of first aid: first deal with the respiratory tract, breathing, circulation.
● see clearly what is the cause of the injury and is the hazard still present?
● if the child is sane, pay attention to his behavior; is his response smart?
But if he falls down and lies on the edge of the stairs, motionless and silent, his neck is likely to be broken or his spine injured. The worst thing you can do at this time is rush over and pick him up!
Remember, if you suspect that your child (or anyone) has a neck or spine injury, never touch him. Unless you have to do so in order to save his life! If you have to move him for the sake of his safety, or to deal with respiratory, respiratory and circulatory problems, remember to move his whole body together, and support his head, neck and body as carefully as possible, without turning or twisting his head in any direction. Try to keep his head, neck and body in line. Carefully pull his chin forward or slightly up, but don't lean your head back to open his airway.
After you have dealt with your child's respiratory tract, breathing and circulation, the next most important thing is to use direct compression to stop bleeding if there is any serious bleeding. This is particularly important for infants and younger children. The amount of blood loss, which has little effect on adults, may shock or even kill a child.
Usually after serious injury, it is better not to give the child food or drink immediately, because it may cause sequelae.
In case of any emergency that requires first aid, you must seek medical help immediately! If possible, ask others to call for help, so that you can stay with the child. It's just as important to keep calm and calm as any other first aid action.
