These children all died of suffocation by eating by mistake.
Sadly, they all missed the golden rescue period.
If the relatives, teachers and even passers-by around can find out and give first aid in time when the tragedy happens, there may be a chance. Never watch a fresh life be taken away by death because of our ignorance!
Today, I will tell you a more effective first aid method for suffocation. Everyone actively studies, and when necessary, they can not only help their families and children, but also save others.
What is Heimlich first aid?
Heimlich's first aid method was invented by an American doctor, Mr heimlich. 1974 successfully rescued a patient with suffocation caused by food blocking the respiratory tract. Since then, this law has been widely spread around the world and saved millions of people.
The principle of Heimlich's first aid method is to use the subphrenic soft tissue that is suddenly impacted to generate upward pressure and compress the lower parts of both lungs, thus driving the residual air in the lungs to form airflow. This directional air flow with impact force directly driving the trachea can drive away foreign bodies such as food blocks blocking the trachea and throat and save lives.
How to apply Heimlich's first aid method
articles for babies
Application: 1 infant under one year old
1. Kneel on the ground;
2. Pick up the baby, put the baby face down, and make its body lean on the adult's knee;
3. Pat the baby's shoulder blades with one hand to restore the back for 5 times, then straighten the baby, and press the chest with the index finger and middle finger in the lower half of the baby's sternum for 5 times;
4. Repeat the above actions, and use pressure to help the baby cough up the foreign body blocking the trachea until it spits out.
Note: Don't hang your baby's feet upside down and shoot from behind. Not only can the foreign body not be discharged, but it may also cause cervical spine injury. If it is a liquid foreign body, dredge the respiratory tract first, and then blow twice. If it cannot be blown in, it is suspected that there is a foreign body blocking the respiratory tract.
articles for children

Self-help article
Appeal can be used for 2, 3, and 4 of the four steps for adults, or bend slightly and lean against a fixed horizontal object (such as a desk, a chair back, an armrest, etc.). Press the upper abdomen with the edge of the object and impact it quickly upward. Repeat until the foreign matter is discharged.
Why are children prone to tracheal obstruction?
Children, especially two-year-old children who have just learned to walk, have a very high incidence of tracheal foreign bodies. This is because the epiglottic cartilage of children whose trachea passes through food is immature and has imperfect function.
When children cry, adults give them peanuts, soybeans and other foods. Because of the activities of talking, laughing and crying in children's mouth, epiglottis cartilage is at a loss, which leads to food entering its path by mistake when swallowing, resulting in foreign bodies in trachea.
So how to avoid it?
1. Cut the food into small pieces and let the children chew it fully before swallowing it;
2. Avoid laughing, talking, walking and running with food in your mouth;
Children are not allowed to play with small toys in their mouths.
Did the family learn first aid today?
It is suggested to forward it, so that more people can learn this first aid method and help more people prevent danger.
