World Prevention Day: Drowning and rescue should see "wisdom"

Text/Yangcheng Evening News reporter Chen Hui correspondent Wang Jian Ye Meiqi

July 25 is the "World Prevention Day", which aims to remind people of the world to strengthen the awareness of preventing drowning safety. In the summer season, many people choose to go swimming to cool down the heat. Here, Li Hui, director and deputy chief physician of the third affiliated hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, reminds everyone to see the righteousness of drowning and rescue!

According to Li Hui: "Remember on June 21, 2020, eight elementary school students in Tongnan District, Chongqing met to go to the river beach to play. During this period, one student accidentally lost his feet. As soon as the water fell into the water, the eight students were drowned. This kind of one person fell into the water.

Li Hui pointed out that seeing righteousness is the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation. It is commendable and affirmed, but it is not worth advocating without considering its own rescue ability. On the one hand, the ability to rescue itself is insufficient. If you do not care about rescue, you will not only be unable to save the trapped person, but will have his own life; on the other hand, in many cases, the survivor may be the only trapped person who can be able to be able to be a trapped person. Those who seek rescue help, if the survivors are unfortunately killed, the last hopes of rescue will also extinguish.

Therefore, in the face of drowning and trapped, we not only advocate righteousness, but also to advocate righteousness and wisdom.

Will swimming will be rescued

Many people feel that they can swim. When they see someone drowning, they do n’t talk about diving and saving people. In the end, people did not save their lives. In fact, swimming can be rescued.

When we discover other people drowning, we first need to evaluate our own rescue capabilities, as do swimmers. This is because when the dangerous people are struggling in the water, they will have a strong desire to survive, and unconscious struggles are likely to hurt rescuers. And the rescue in the water requires a certain skill, and it needs to be mastered after repeated training. It is difficult for non -professionals to learn for a while. In addition, the emergencies in the waters and rescue are unable to estimate and deal with it. If we are a little careless, it may not be drowned by the water to save people.

When we encounter someone drowning, how can we rescue it scientifically and safely?

When we find someone drowning, we should immediately call for help, let more people participate in the first aid, and immediately throw floating objects at the dangerous people, such as the lifebuilding circle, empty barrels, wooden boards, etc., so that these floating objects can help the help of the rescue. And if the consultant is not far from the shore, you can consider throwing the rope to him, or extend the stick to him, and pull him to the shore without the situation of ensuring that he can stand firm.

When the encounter is rescued ashore, you can do this

Judging the patient's consciousness immediately. If the drowning person has no consciousness and breathing, the treatment of cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be implemented as soon as possible. At this time, you cannot "control water and pour water", and the heart and lung recovery are the only rescue measures!

Regardless of whether the cardiopulmonary resuscitation is required, the drowning people's mouth must be checked, the oral and the debris in the mouth and nasal cavity must be removed, and the respiratory tract is unobstructed. And unlock the drowning's clothes buckle and neckline to relieve breathing restrictions.

Remove humid clothes and keep warm. If the drowning person is wearing a jacket, take off and cover the dry clothes in time and keep warm to prevent low temperature damage.

If the drowning person has no breathing in the water, it is not recommended to perform artificial breathing or cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the water, because the quality of the first aid measures in the water is not guaranteed, and the time for the drowning person to go ashore is also delayed.
