"Thanks to your treatment, my mother can save her life. On behalf of the whole family, I would like to express my gratitude to all the medical staff of Neurology !" On the morning of December 12, the family of Kuang Ziyi, a stroke hemiplegia patient who was hospitalized for treatment, sent a banner with the words "Neither medical ethics, superb medical skills, quick treatment, and even more grateful" to Suining County People's Hospital. It turned out that at 1:30 am on December 11, Kuang Zi suddenly had a meatball stuck in his throat, but fortunately he was successfully rescued by the hospital's medical staff.
"Doctor! Nurse! Come and see my mother in bed 8. She may have been choked by the food she had just eaten!" At 1:30 in the morning in December, Mr. Xiang's urgent cry for help broke the silence of the midnight ward.
Nurse of Neurology Li Yangyuan immediately ran to see it. Kuang Zi's face turned red and he was half lying on the bed and struggled. His son Xiang was at a loss beside him and said in a sweaty voice: "My mother was hungry, so I fed her a meatball and a small piece of sausage. Then he fed some water and suddenly choked. What should I do?"
At this time, Kuang Zi's breathing lightly and quickly and breathing hard. At that time, Lu Xiangwen, a neurologic physician at Suining County People's Hospital, was resting in the duty room. When he heard the call of the nurse on duty, he rushed over immediately. "When I went there, the old man's expression was painful, his face was cyanotic, and he could not speak." Based on the family's description and corresponding physical signs, Lu Xiangwen judged that the old man was suffocated by foreign objects in the trachea. He immediately took off his shoes and knelt on the bed, and took a lie on Heimlikfa for first aid.
"I hit the patient's abdomen twice, but the food has not been spit out yet." Then, Lu Xiangwen asked the children of the elderly who were caring for the elderly to support their left and right hands, and asked the elderly to lean over and face down with their heads outwards, and switch to the position of Heimlikfa first aid. Li Yangyuan prepared an oxygen inhalation device for the elderly and called the emergency doctor to prepare for surgery at any time.
During this process, Kuang Yi first spit out half a piece of sausage that he had not had time to chew. At this time, although the cyanosis symptoms were improved, the old man was still angry and seemed to have something stuck in his throat. Lu Xiangwen continued to rescue. Soon, he heard a "uh" sound, and Kuang Zi finally spit out a yellow meatball thicker than his thumb. Since then, Kuang Zi's expression has gradually returned to his normal expression and can also talk to others independently, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. After
, Lu Xiangwen gave the elderly family guidance on feeding, including: pay attention to speed when feeding things, a little slower; try to choose fine, soft, easy to chew and easy to digest; if food gets stuck in the throat, Heimlik method should be used immediately for first aid
According to chief physician Li Yongshun, director of the Department of Neurology of the hospital, the doctor is a patient with hemiplegia with stroke. Due to his age and physical movement disorders, the swallowing function is weakened. Although the meatballs are elastic, the texture is also hard. If it is a little bigger, it is easy to stagnate the throat. What's more, it is because of being swallowed by Kuang Zi's "swallowing" and causing a "shocking scene".
Popular Science: What should Heimlikfa do?
Lu Xiangwen introduced that if the patient has no symptoms of paralysis and has strong limbs, hemlikfa is generally adopted. The specific method is: the rescuer stands behind the patient, extends one leg between the patient's legs to perform a lunge, wraps his arms around the patient's abdomen, and lets the other person lean forward.
At this time, the rescuer should clench his fist with one hand, place his fist eyes on the two fingers above the navel, wrap his fist with the other hand, apply pressure to the abdomen with the cross and overlap, and use the force to rush the food out of the throat.
