General knowledge of family first aid

In daily life, accidental injuries are difficult to avoid and sometimes unpredictable. If we do not seek medical treatment in time or operate improperly, it is likely to cause harm to our own or others’ bodies, so it is very necessary to master some common sense of first aid. Here is a look at our daily life often encounter small accident handling methods, I hope it will help you. First, foreign objects in the eyes. Any tiny object or liquid, even a grain of sand or a drop of detergent into the eye, can cause eye pain, or even damage to the cornea. First aid: The first step is to blink hard and often to flush out the foreign body with tears. If that doesn’t work, pinch up your eyelids and rinse your eyes under the faucet. Be careful to always remove your contact lenses. Absolutely forbidden: Do not rub your eyes. Foreign bodies, no matter how small, can scratch the cornea and cause infection. If a foreign body enters deeper into the eye, then be sure to seek medical attention immediately and have a doctor attend to it. Bright alert: If a corrosive liquid is splashed into the eye, you must go to the hospital immediately for treatment; if the eye is still uncomfortable after self-treatment, there is burning, edema or blurred vision, you also need to ask a doctor to treat with professional equipment, do not act recklessly. Second, sprain. A sprain occurs when the ligaments around a joint are stretched too far beyond what they can withstand. First aid: within 24 hours of the sprain, try to do every hour with an ice pack cold, half an hour each time. After 24 hours, start to change the affected area to a hot compress to promote blood flow to the injured area. Absolute prohibition: Do not move the injured joint at will, otherwise it will easily cause ligament tears and recovery will be relatively difficult. Bright alert: If after a few days of self-treatment and rest, the affected area is still painful and difficult to move, then it may be a fracture, muscle strain or ligament rupture, and you need to go to the hospital immediately. Third, nosebleeds. Nose bleeding is caused by the rupture of blood vessels in the nasal cavity, the blood vessels in the nose are very fragile, so nosebleeds are also relatively common small accidents. First aid: lean forward slightly and pinch the cartilage below the bridge of the nose with your fingers for about 5-15 minutes. If possible, put a small ice pack on the bridge of the nose can also have a rapid effect on stopping the bleeding. Absolutely forbidden: Tilting the head backward with force will cause the nosebleed to flow into the mouth, and some of the blood will inevitably be sucked into the lungs in a panic, which is neither safe nor sanitary. Bright alert: If the nosebleed continues to flow for 20 minutes and still cannot be stopped, the patient should immediately go to the hospital to seek medical help. If the nosebleeds are too frequent and unexplained, or if they are accompanied by other symptoms such as headaches, ringing in the ears, loss of vision and dizziness, it is also important to go to the hospital because it is possible that the brain has suffered a concussion or severe trauma. Fourth, burns. Burns are divided into*: first-degree burns cause redness and stinging sensation; second-degree burns cause visible blisters; and* burns cause the skin to break down and turn black. First aid method: Once the burns occur, immediately place the scalded part under running water to rinse or use a cool towel to apply a cold compress, if the burns are large, the injured person should soak the entire body in a bathtub full of cold water. Gauze or bandages can be wrapped loosely around the burn to protect it. Absolutely forbidden: Ice should not be used to treat burns, as ice will damage the broken skin and cause the wound to deteriorate. Do not break the blisters as this will leave scars. Do not apply antibiotic ointment or grease to the wound, either. These sticky substances can easily stain dirt. Bright Alert: *Burns, electrical burns, and burns from chemicals must be seen by a doctor. In addition, if the patient develops a cough, watery eyes or difficulty breathing, professional medical help is required. Patients with second-degree burns that are larger than the palm of the hand should also be seen in a hospital, where professional treatment can prevent scarring. V. Poisoning. Poisoning in the home is usually due to accidental ingestion of cleaning and washing products, carbon monoxide inhalation or pesticide intake. First aid: If the patient is confused or has difficulty breathing, call an ambulance quickly and be prepared to answer the following questions: what substance was ingested or inhaled, what was the amount, the patient’s weight, age and the time of poisoning. Absolutely forbidden: Not calling an ambulance until symptoms appear often delays treatment. While waiting for help, do not give the patient anything to eat or drink, and do not attempt to help the patient induce vomiting, as some toxic substances may harm other organs of the patient in the process of being vomited out. Bright alert: whenever poisoning occurs, an ambulance needs to be called quickly to rescue the patient. VI. Finger cuts . 1. If the bleeding is small and the injury is not serious, a Band-Aid can be applied to the wound after cleaning. Do not advocate the application of red salve or hemostatic powder and other drugs on the wound, as long as the wound can be kept clean. 2, if the wound is large and bleeding more than, should first stop the bleeding, and then immediately rushed to the hospital. The specific method of stopping bleeding is: the wound with clean gauze, pinch the root of the fingers on both sides and held high over the heart, because the blood vessels here are distributed on the left and right sides, take this gesture can effectively stop the bleeding. The use of rubber tourniquet will be more effective, but be careful, every 20-30 minutes must be relaxed tourniquet for a few minutes, otherwise it is easy to cause ischemic necrosis of the finger. VII. Alcohol poisoning. 1. For unconscious people, make sure that the airway is open. 2. If the patient vomits, immediately place him/her in a stable lateral position and let the vomit flow out. 3. Keep the patient warm, especially in wet and cold conditions. 4.Check respiration, pulse and response level, and use CPR immediately if necessary. 5. Place the patient in a stable lateral position, monitor the condition closely, and check and record respiration, pulse and degree of responsiveness every 10 minutes. Eight, burns. 1.Use cold water to cool locally for 10 minutes. 2.Cover with a clean, moist dressing. 3.When the wound is swollen, remove the watch, bracelet, ring, etc., and fix the dressing gently, taking care not to tighten it too much. 4.Tie the bandage on the opposite side of the injury. Nine, burn treatment. 1.If the skin of the burn is still intact, local cooling should be done as soon as possible. If it will be placed under the tap to rinse about 10 minutes. This will take away the local tissue heat and reduce a step damage. 2.Wrap the injury with a loose, moist, preferably sterile pad. Be careful not to tighten it too much. 3. If the skin has been burned, cover it with a clean pad to protect the injury and reduce the risk of infection. Ten, fish spike stuck throat. 1.Implement abdominal squeeze (if the patient is pregnant or too obese, implement chest squeeze). If the patient is unable to stand, place him/her flat on a solid surface and sit across the patient’s legs for five abdominal pushes, then check if the foreign body is coughed out. 2, such as finger digging foreign body, only when you can see the foreign body to dig, not blindly digging.
