Our attitude towards such information changes dramatically when our children appear in the world. They are small and defenseless, they need us, and we must ensure their safety. It is not known how a person will lead a person in an emergency situation, while he is not in it, and knowing the order of his actions would be good. Let us all hope and wish each other never to fall into them.
We will consider the critical situations in which the reaction of parents or adults should be immediate, clear and as calm as possible.
Problems with breathing
Very often young children are choked on food. And even before they begin to take solid food. The child can also choke up and the mother's milk time for feeding. If the baby coughs, hold it in a column and lift the arms. So crumb will be easier to catch your breath. Take a pear or aspirator and discard excess fluid from the spout or mouth. The period of feeding is perhaps the most hectic in this regard. The detskeshche no teeth, but quickly begin to enter pieces, so that the little boy learns to chew vegetables or soft cheese.
Do not rush with apples and other hard fruits. If the child still bit off a too large piece, but at the same time tries to cough, do not bother, wait a few seconds. Organismsreacted to the problem and gave the command to push out what prevents breathing. If you can not, tap the crumb on the back, but not in clicks, in a friendly manner, in the same place and in the same place, but not more than five times. Most often this method helps, if not, shove your fingers in the mouth and press the root of the tongue, causing a vomitive reflex. After that, always cleanse the baby with a handkerchief or gauze. You can try to take out a piece or a small detail of the toy, but you have to get your finger from the cheek, and not right into the throat, so as not to push the object even farther. If this does not help, turn the child by the legs and press the bottom of the breast cell.
It may happen that the object that the child choked on will fall out, but the respiration will be restored. Begin to do artificial respiration and do not stop before the arrival of doctors, urgently call an ambulance.
Most likely you will be able to help the child in the first two ways. It's even better if they do not come in handy either. Watch out for the baby while eating, do not act on anything. Older children are not allowed to run with snacks and initially accustom to food exclusively at the table.
If there is a croup (constriction of the airways), take the child to the bathroom, turn on the hot water, let him take a steam bath. The most important thing now is to provide moist air. It is quite possible that this will be enough.
If foreign bodies get into the nasal or auditory canal, it is better not to take any measure of independence at all, but to wait for a doctor's help.
Soothe the crumbs, make sure that they breathe freely and do not make sudden movements.
The child can choke up not only in the pond, but also in the bathroom. Rather get it out of the water, help cough. If the skin has assumed a blue tint, tilt the head back, do not let it get into the lungs. Breathing paths need to be cleaned, draw water from the nose of the mouth. Begin to do artificial respiration. Show yourself to the doctor, even if the baby quickly came to himself and the threat of life passed.
Actions for poisoning
The main rule for poisoning is decoating. You have to water your child, even if he does not want to drink, because the higher is not the fact of poisoning, but its consequences, in particular, dehydration. With severe diarrhea, dizziness, chills, dial 103, and while the ambulance rides to you, induce vomiting, pressing the tip of the tongue and poach, poite, poite.
Be sure to inform, in your mind, in your opinion, a child could be poisoned. And if the kid has drunk some kind of combustible, such as kerosene, gasoline, some alkali, then in this case it is impossible to vomit, as well as to solder.
Bleeding after a cut or injury
Here, all knowledge about first aid is justified. With arterial bleeding (pulsating jet) with a tourniquet or any improvised means, rewind the limb above the wound. Write down on the piece of paper the time when they made the dressing. With venous bleeding, apply a tight bandage directly to the cut itself.
When an internal bleeding occurs, severe hematomas, the action is only one - rather a hospital.
Fracture Operations
Fractures are with displacements without, open and closed, but the actions are almost always the same. You need to visit the place of the fracture. If it is a hand - tie, if it's a leg - along it to take a stick and go to the workplace by yourself or call an ambulance. For ease, apply a cold compress for now.
Allergic reaction
Quite frankly, although an easy antihistamine drug should be in every mother's purse. Although, in a way, that the allergy can arise not only for some fruit or vegetables, but also for the bite of insects.
If the crumb was bitten by a wasp or a bee, pull out the stinger carefully with a pair of tweezers and attach a bottle of cold water or ice from the freezer to the bite site.
When you snake, snake immediately voziterebenka in the hospital, because often in the "fast" there is no serum. Sometimes it is necessary to suck off poison. But the first thing to give a child a pill against allergies.
It happens that small researchers try everything with their hands, pulling them apopt not only in the mouth, but also in the eyes. Often, this ends with weeping, tears and misunderstanding, which makes the eyes red and the child yells. Wash eyes with plenty of clean water. If you saw what the child was playing, perhaps he opened a chest of drawers with household chemicals, take the package and immediately dispense for medical help.
Eyes can be covered with a bandage or a clean cloth.
Burns and frostbite
With a severe burn, you can help the child with cold water, panthenol or similar foam. Rinse clothes, immediately call an ambulance. Do not burst bubbles and generally do not touch the burn, but rather put a sterile bandage.
In case of severe frostbite, never put anything hot on this area. Give the child warmth, you can wrap. Needless to say, that in this case the presence of a doctor is also mandatory.
Whatever happens, remember that you are adults and should protect a small creature who is very scared, who often does not even have time to understand what happened, and the whole world is round. And the most terrible thing for him is to see the rushing parents who themselves do not know how to act. In such a second he needs a mother who will calm, support and give hope for the best. A mom who does not leave, will not give up, but will be next to each second.
We sincerely wish you never to fall into the above situations, but if this happens, the sober head and clear mind will help you decide what to do in a critical situation.
