A girl in Foshan, Guangdong accidentally swallowed the antihypertensive drug placed on the table without her grandmother paying attention. After the mistake was taken, grandma hurriedly called the child's mother, but did not send her to the doctor in time.
After several twists and turns, the girl was rushed to the Shunde Women and Children's Hospital of Guangdong Medical University. At this time, more than two hours had passed since the child took the medicine. In the end, the girl unfortunately passed away after being rescued.
Ouyang Limei, head nurse of PICU, Shunde Women and Children's Hospital of Guangdong Medical University, said: The girl accidentally took 30 or 40 antihypertensive drugs, and her blood pressure suddenly dropped to a very low level, causing a cardiac arrest. The same thing happened in
before:
In these incidents, Jun's mother saw that many parents were not cautious about the custody of medicines at home, and their knowledge of handling emergency situations was also very lacking.
Please read this article carefully, because popular science may be boring, but it is very important!
Be cautious when treating drugs.
It’s not uncommon for children to take medicine by mistake. Many parents don’t tell their children what they are taking when they ask their children what they are taking. They have to pretend to be mysterious and say: "This is Good stuff." "I'm eating sweets." Such as to lure the children, and then deliberately not give them to them. How can children like
not be curious about drugs? Most children will eat that "good thing" when they have the opportunity.
To facilitate the taking of medicines, many infant medicines taste sweet, and most adult pills are also coated with sugar. In addition, there are still many parents who usually coax their children to say that this is sweet sugar when feeding their children with medicine. These behaviors will cause children to confuse their understanding of medicine and sugar.
children are still young, it is difficult to distinguish between candy and medicine, in their opinion, sweet is delicious. The correct way to do
is:
1. Medicines should not be mixed with other items. It is best to put them in a fixed medicine box and lock them. Tell the child that this is medicine and cannot be taken casually.
2. External medicines and oral medicines should be separated. Bulk medicines should be packed in bottles and labeled.
3. Put it in a place where children can't see or touch, especially toxic drugs such as cockroach medicine and rodenticide.
4. Try not to take medicine in front of your baby and avoid imitation.
5. Don't lie to your child that he is taking jelly beans when taking medicine
bluntly speaking to children about danger will not harm them. Letting children recognize danger is the top priority of our education. Z2z
should be handled as follows:
First step: Induce vomiting before going to the doctor, let the child drink about 200ml of water, and then use fingers or toothbrush handles and other non-sharp objects to press the back of the child’s tongue to help the child eat it Thing out;
second step: drink water to lavage the stomach after vomiting, then stimulate again, and repeatedly induce vomiting;
third step: see the nearest doctor.
Note:
1. The amount of water to drink should be based on the child’s weight, which is about the same as the amount of milk he usually drinks. Too much water will cause the pressure in the stomach to increase, but it will encourage the poison to enter the intestines. Conducive to the discharge of poisons.
2. The child needs to spit out the water just drunk together with the medicine and poison in the stomach.
3. For infants and young children, do not induce vomiting in any form. Because of the poor coordination of infants and young children, parents should not induce vomiting in any form after the accidental ingestion, otherwise it may cause suffocation/aspiration, esophagus and oropharyngeal damage.
Under what circumstances cannot induce vomiting?
1, the child is unconscious, forcibly induced vomiting can easily cause suffocation;
2, the poison taken by mistake is corrosive.
How to deal with mistaking of different types of medicines
It is necessary to figure out what medicine the baby has taken, the length of time and the dosage at the first time, so as to provide information for the next treatment. Different types of drugs have different treatment methods:
If the baby accidentally takes vitamins, cough syrup, etc.:
let the baby drink more cold water to dilute the drug and excrete it in time.
If you accidentally take sleeping pills, antihypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, antibiotics, etc.:
parents can quickly use their fingers, Chopsticks, etc. stimulate the base of the baby's tongue to induce vomiting, then drink plenty of warm water to induce vomiting repeatedly, and then drink a few more glasses of milk and 3-5 raw egg whites to nourish the stomach and detoxify.
If you take iodine by mistake:
quickly give your baby batter, rice soup and other starchy fluids, the interaction of starch and iodine can generate iodinated starch to reduce toxicity.
If you accidentally take moss syrup, antipruritic water, toilet water, etc.:
immediately let your baby drink as much strong tea as possible, the tea contains tannic acid, which has the effect of precipitation and detoxification.
mistakenly swallowed organophosphorus pesticide poisoning:
exhaled a smell of garlic, which can make him drink soapy water and repeatedly induce vomiting and detoxification. At the same time, he was sent to the hospital immediately.
mistakenly taking corrosive drugs:
corrosive drugs can cause gastric perforation. If it is strong acid, the stomach tube should be disabled to avoid damage to the esophagus and gastric mucosa. Lime water, soapy water, and raw egg white should be taken immediately to protect the gastric mucosa. If it is a strong base, you should take vinegar, orange juice, lemonade, etc. immediately, and then immediately send to the hospital.
If you mistakenly swallow lysol or carbolic acid:
should not be used to induce vomiting. Allow the child to drink a lot of egg white, milk, thick rice soup, soy milk or vegetable oil, etc. The above foods can be attached to the esophagus and gastric mucosa, thereby reducing the harm of the disinfectant to the human body.
The above treatments are all preliminary emergency treatments. Parents should also take the time to send their children to the hospital for treatment.
If the child has convulsions, let the child bite a chopstick covered with gauze to protect the tongue. At the same time, let the child's face side to side to make breathing smooth, and also can stimulate the child with nails.
Observe the child's performance:
If the child has no obvious abnormalities, you can not go to the doctor first and observe closely at home for at least 24 hours.
Eat regularly during the observation period, and don't try something that the child has not eaten before. If you find that your child is in a situation that is obviously different from usual, you need to send a doctor or call an ambulance in time.
needs to be sent to the doctor as soon as possible:
vomiting, hematemesis;
abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation;
blurred vision, lethargy, tinnitus;
dizziness, headache;
abnormal sweating;
body surface clammy, mottling skin;
and anything else Parents are "not confident".
Suggested call for ambulance performance:
convulsion (whether stopped or not):
pay attention to clean up the surrounding environment while waiting to avoid injury to the child. Don't put anything into the child's mouth to avoid suffocation.
is unconscious (the child does not respond to the call):
put the child in the lateral position while waiting to keep the airway open.
stop breathing (no ups and downs in the rib cage and stomach):
needs CPR while waiting.
Breathing abnormalities (abnormal breathing sound, breathing too fast or too slow, breathing irregularly, too shallow or too deep):
If wheezing occurs while waiting, keep the child in a sitting position; if breathing is difficult, avoid walking to avoid worsening symptom.
mental confusion (having hallucinations, nonsense):
should be closely monitored while waiting and being sent to the doctor.
In addition, in some areas of our country, it is possible to consult the poison control center by telephone for first aid advice. Parents can learn about the emergency conditions in different areas in advance. At the same time, remember to bring the instructions and outer packaging of the medicines taken by the child by mistake.
Jun mom summary
We don’t want to see tragedies happen. In fact, many times we really just need to pay more attention to prevent it. In addition to medicines at
, there are many other things that need to be placed safely. Everyone needs to be more careful. If
finds it useful, please give Jun's a thumbs up!
