Children with burns and scald high incidence adults worry about children less suffering

For children, summer vacation is the most relaxed moment, but with the rise of temperature, decrease in clothing, and increasing activities, children are more prone to various damage in summer.

The mother was picked up the hot water with a shower spray head. The 2 and a half -year -old baby picked up the shower, and the face and the upper body were burned to varying degrees. Whenever I think of this scene, Ms. Cui, citizen of Taiyuan, regrets it.

The newly boiled electric kettle was placed on the coffee table. The 5 -year -old child touched the hot kettle and scalded his right leg and right foot.

How to deal with it correctly after burning in the burns? Recently, a reporter from the Shanxi Evening News interviewed Duan Peng, director of the Burning Department of Tai Isthel Hospital (Shanxi Province), and Song Wei, director of the Emergency Department.

In summer, children are more crowds of burns and burns

On the morning of July 11th, a long queue was lined up at the door of Song Wei, the director of the Emergency Department of Tai Steel General Hospital (Shanxi Province), and the children crying in the crowd were particularly noticeable. "The 5 -year -old son was naughty. When he ordered a waste paper at home, he saw the fire, and he hurriedly grabbed his hand. As a result, the five fingers burned all the bubbles." The boy's mother said distressed.

On the morning of the same day, Song Wei took a total of 32 patients, including 8 of them. Song Wei said that in the summer hot, people wear less, and the area of ​​skin exposure is large. It is a high incidence of burns and burns. Children are more crowds of burns and burns. About 50%. Children's burns are mainly based on family burns, mainly boiling water burns, electric burns, and fire burns. On the same day, Song Wei received a 2 -year -old child who was burned by boiling water. The child overturned the thermal kettle on the ground during the crawling process, causing the face and hands to have varying degrees of burns. The hot oil burned with the splattered hot oil ...

Starting in the summer, what was impressed by Song Wei was a 5 -year -old burning girl from Liu Lin. "The girl's brother took a can of spray in the house and ignited. The fire burns face and hands. "Song Wei said that now there are various sprays in the residents' homes, and some spray contains alcohol. Remember to ignite while spraying. Explosion in the fire caused burns.

Children's skin tissue structure has not yet developed. At the same source of heat, children's burns are often more serious than adults. Song Wei reminded the public that children with burning injuries should seek medical treatment in time. In principle, they should choose a nearest regular hospital for emergency treatment to avoid dehydration, infection, even shock, and death of children.

The iron and stone pier at high temperature are also prone to burns

In summer, the outdoor temperature is high. Under the direct sunlight, the temperature of iron, stainless steel, and stone pier will be as high as 50 ° C. Children are particularly easy to burn when they go out and play. Duan Peng had been diagnosed with patients with scrap and stone pier in the outdoor. "The 70 -year -old man was on the outdoor iron stool with a 3 -year -old grandson. The child was sitting for a short time, the burns were not serious, the old man was sitting for a long time, and the scald was serious. It feels that the iron stool is very comfortable, and the feeling of their feelings is a bit worse. After a long time, it is easy to cause low -temperature burns. "Duan Peng said that he also encountered a child who picked up the iron pipe on the side of the road, causing children to be burned with both hands. Low -temperature burns in summer also need to prevent prevention.

Torter in the corridor of the hospital burns ward, you can see parents holding the injured child from time to time. When asked why he was injured, a reporter from Shanxi Evening News heard a variety of answers. "The child just learned to climb and accidentally overturned the hot water in the pot." "The hot water in the bathtub, the child took a shower and sat in." Pour the hot oil pan. "...

Duan Peng said that 90%of their children's burns from their patients were from their families. Family is the main place to cause children to burn, and 75%of the burns occur in infants and young children aged 0 to 3, 15%of preschool children 3 to 7 years old. In addition to being placed properly in kettle, hot vegetables, stoves, etc., there are also improper protection such as electrical power supply. Children are injured due to playing home appliances or touching electrical sockets. "Children's burns and scald prevention are far greater than treatment!" Duan Peng said.

Do not apply medicines after burning

According to the area and degree of burns, burns are divided into mild, moderate, severe, and special weight burns.

Duan Peng and Song Wei said that among the patients who are admitted, parents lack the first aid knowledge of burns and scald. They use so -called "soil methods", such as soy sauce, sesame oil, toothpaste, red potion, purple potion, grass and gray after burning, etc. The color covering the wound. These treatment methods not only have no help to the injury, but also increase the child's injury, bring secondary damage, but also interfere with the doctor's judgment of the degree of burns. The correct first aid measures are "rushing, taking off, bubble, cover, and sending".

Duan Peng said that no matter what level of burns, it should be rinsed with cold water or soaked the burns immediately after discovering. At least 20 minutes should be maintained. In addition to reducing the pain, it can also reduce the local temperature and reduce the depth of the burns. It is good for the formation of prognosis to reduce scar formation. It should be noted that the cooling water used for cooling should be around 20 ° C, and it should not be applied with ice to prevent frostbite.

Carefully cut and take off your clothes in the water. Remember not to pull or take off hard to avoid skin damage and cause infection.However, if there is a blisters on the skin and the area is relatively large, you must go to the hospital immediately.On the way to the hospital, it is best to cover the affected area with a sterilized gauze to keep the wound clean. Do not apply ointment or cover unclean cloth on the wound, so as not to cause secondary infections.Especially children with large burns are prone to dehydration and shock symptoms. Be sure to stabilize the child's emotions and not let the child cry, so as not to lose more water in the body.Warm water."If it is the burns of chemical preparations, such as strong acids, strong alkali, dried lime, etc., do not rinse directly with water, quickly erase with dry cloth and then rinse with a lot of water. Pay attention to protect the eyes and send it to the hospital as soon as possible."Evening News reporter Yang Zhoufen Correspondent Wang Jianming Intern Wei Lirui
