Children choke on moon cakes and grasp gold for 4 minutes

With the Mid Autumn Festival approaching, more and more children are choking on moon cakes In the past week, Panyu Hospital of Guangzhou Armed police received 7 such small patients, who would not have survived the Mid Autumn Festival without doctors taking out the moon cake stuffing stuck in the esophagus in time Medical experts point out to parents how to carry out family rescue within the "golden 4 minutes" of choking, including coughing, slapping and pinching with fingers According to Liao Jiankun, director of emergency department of Panyu Hospital of the armed police, the throat defense function of children aged 2-4 is not perfect When they eat jelly, nuts, ham, large pieces of food or glutinous rice products, they suddenly cry or cough and inhale with a big mouth, which will easily block the airway In recent years, children who choke on the yolk, ham, fruit mud and other ingredients in moon cakes are the most common Liao Jiankun suggested that parents should cut the above food into small pieces, and then feed them to their children At the same time, they should use water to feed them to prevent choking caused by dry mouth and cough Avoid talking to your child when he or she is eating to avoid distracting and choking Similarly, avoid having children eat and play or watch TV at the same time Once choking occurs, we should grasp the "golden four minutes" first aid Liao Jiankun said that if the choked foreign matter cannot be removed within 4 minutes, the child will be in danger of suffocation There was a 4-year-old girl who choked for 30 minutes before she was sent to the hospital As a result, the doctor was unable to return to the sky For the conscious choking children, they should be urged to cough actively and forcefully, expel the blockage through the air flow generated by cough, or form a space that can keep breathing At the same time of self-help, the parents should make the patient sit well and lean forward, and then clap the back of the patient between the two shoulder blades with the palm of the hand for four times For choking children who are delirious, one person should lift his feet upside down and hold the body obliquely The other person should use one finger to press down the tongue of the patient, while at the same time clap 4 times with the root of the palm between the two shoulder blades behind the patient Liao Jiankun pointed out that if the baby chokes on such sticky food as moon cake filling, he can also let the baby lie on his side, gently extend his index finger along the inner wall of his throat to the deep of his throat, and take out or clip out the food As long as there is a little space between the throat and the blocked food, you can keep breathing, and strive for time for rescue At last, Liao Jiankun stressed that when the family rescues itself, it should call the emergency number as soon as possible.
