In the age of self-media, all kinds of rumors like the undead little strong, from time to time in WeChat, microblogging and other infestations, and sometimes even crazy spread screen. This is not, summer is coming, about drowning rumors have appeared, “backwards water control method” is one of the extremely scary and dangerous rumors.
This rumor describes in graphic detail: “two drowning toddlers in the river, the child is not breathing, the villagers will use the unique local first aid method, clutching the child’s feet, backwards running with the child, a few minutes later, the little boy spit out a few mouthfuls of water, wow cried, and ran for at least ten minutes, the little girl was also pulled back from the hands of death. “
Then said with conviction: “See please copy down, children can be saved as long as the drowning does not exceed an hour!”
And also incidentally the doctor also black, said “doctors stressed that if everyone who received this message can be forwarded to others, there will certainly be at least one life will be saved back.”
The last thing I said was “I’ve done my part”, meaning: believe it or not, it’s up to you to turn.
”It’s a rumor mill!
If this is true, then the biggest possibility is that the two children did not drown, they did not stop breathing, it was a fluke. This method should never be extended! This is not to save but to harm people!
But such rumors a friend turn you do not believe, two friends turn you will believe, three friends turn you may believe, is not it? In such a “drowning country” as ours, similar rumors are extremely harmful, “rumors are fiercer than tigers”, before being flooded by rumors!
Why “water control” is not scientific?
1, may aggravate the drowning person lack of oxygen.
2, may cause vomit and other inadvertent inhalation of airway.
3, may aggravate the original injury, such as cervical spine injury.
4, people are not bottles, you can pour water when you want to pour water.
5, the water in the stomach does not mean that the water in the lungs also come out.
6, the most important thing is that “water control” delayed the rescue of the golden hour.
After drowning, if a cardiac arrest, the body immediately lack of oxygen, about 10-20 seconds after the loss of consciousness, if not resuscitated in time, about 4 minutes later will cause irreversible damage to the brain. Therefore, once the heartbeat and respiratory arrest, cardiopulmonary resuscitation must be carried out immediately.
The golden resuscitation time is 4 minutes! The earlier effective CPR, the more hope for life!
What should I do if I encounter a drowning victim?
Drowning people or other accidental patients after breathing and heartbeat stopped the golden resuscitation time of 4 minutes! Think about the response speed of the domestic emergency systems and traffic conditions, 4 minutes to reach the scene is almost impossible, so that patients with cardiac and respiratory arrest waiting for the arrival of ambulances is almost waiting for death. Therefore, the first time the scene rescue is very important!
The drowning victim should be rescued ashore immediately to determine its status, focusing on “consciousness, breathing, pulse”, according to the state of the drowning victim first time to take on-site rescue measures.
1.If awake, breathing and pulse
Call 120, accompany, keep warm, wait for rescuers or send to hospital for observation.
2.If unconscious, breathing and pulse
Call 120, clean the mouth and nose foreign body (mud and sand, etc.), stabilize the lateral position, and wait for rescuers. Closely observe the respiratory pulse, if necessary, cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
3.If unconscious, no breathing and pulse
Similar to the “pseudo-death” state, the patient may have laryngospasm, no breathing, weak pulse is on the verge of stopping, usually at this time just give open airway, artificial respiration, pulse and heartbeat can be rapidly enhanced. After recovery of breathing, you can lie on your side and wait for rescuers.
4.If unconscious, no breathing and no pulse
Immediately clean the mouth and nose foreign body, open the airway, artificial respiration, chest compressions, that is, the traditional A-B-C CPR first aid. Remember to call 120 at the same time, and continue resuscitation until the patient’s breathing and pulse return or emergency personnel arrive.
