Jiaohuidian News We are optimistic about our children during the summer vacation, so don’t “off” when they are safe and healthy! Only by firmly grasping safety issues can you protect your children for a happy and colorful vacation. On July 8, Nanjing Children's Hospital held a popular science event "Children's Accidental Injury First Aid Drill and Training". The reporter learned from the scene that due to the increase in outdoor activities for children during the summer, the proportion of accidental injuries such as car accidents, drowning, and burns increased significantly among the children received by the hospital. It is particularly necessary to carry out popular science education on accidental injuries and first aid knowledge so that parents and children can know and prevent them early.

"At present, popular science about first aid knowledge is far from enough." Miao Hongjun, director and chief physician of the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Nanjing Children's Hospital, pointed out that at present, there are more than 40 million children who suffer accidental injuries in my country every year, about 800,000 children who have suspended classes and left school due to accidental injuries, and about 50,000 children die every year due to accidental injuries.

Miao Hongjun reminds that summer is the high season for children's accidental injuries. Children's self-control ability is immature, and unexpected injuries are easily caused by curiosity. The correct treatment of on-site first aid is particularly important. At present, the popularity of cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge in my country is dozens of times worse than that in the United States. However, "Cytopulmonary resuscitation is critical for first aid of any kind of accidental injury. Everyone should undergo formal training to complete the cardiopulmonary resuscitation process with high quality, so that the success rate of rescue can be improved when an accident occurs."

Accidental injury is actually not unexpected, it must be preventable and controllable. Miao Hongjun summarized: "First, we must improve everyone's awareness of prevention through popular education and science, so that everyone can master certain first aid skills; second, we must regulate everyone's safety behavior through laws; third, technical intervention, and pay attention to the protection of children from all aspects of life."

reporter learned that the accidental injuries that are prone to occur in summer are mainly concentrated in car accident injuries, fall injuries, foreign body blockages in the trachea, and burns. Director Miao specially reminds parents and friends to pay attention: either staying at home or being the safest. "From past cases, the proportion of accidental injuries at home has reached 50%. There are also potential harm factors at home, and it may cause accidents if you ignore them a little. Parents are advised not to leave your child easily." The purpose of this activity is to let everyone understand the key links of first aid such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and the other is to be able to deal with different types of accidental injuries scientifically.

"Everyone participates and everyone knows." Liang Hui, director of the hospital's social work department, introduced that as the largest indoor game space in China and a youth science popularization base in Jiangsu Province, the Tongxin Park of Nanjing Children's Hospital conducts theme training activities for children's accidental injuries every summer, and this year is the fifth. "The original intention of our activities is to make children feel that coming to the hospital is not just about seeing a doctor, but about the warmth of the hospital through games and interesting courses."

reporter also learned that the hospital has ushered in the peak of summer visits, with an average daily outpatient visit volume of nearly 9,000 people. Here we remind parents to strengthen summer safety precautions, and children need to make an appointment in advance when visiting medical treatment.
