Please remove the hand that is stuffed into the girl's mouth! Firefighters are harming people instead of saving people!

This morning, I saw #girl twitching fire all the way to protect her tongue with her finger# topic on Weibo hot search
.

The content of the hot search is: On October 16, Shangrao, Jiangxi, a 2-year-old girl suddenly convulsed, and her mother rushed to the firefighters
who were on duty with her baby in her arms.
Seeing this, the fire truck turned into an ambulance in seconds, sounded the siren all the way, and arrived at the hospital
in 3 minutes.
During this time, firefighters kept sticking their fingers into the convulsive girl's mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue
.
The girl was treated in a timely manner, and there is no major problem
.

When I saw this news, I wanted to say to this firefighter and media person: Please take your hand away from the girl's mouth, this is harming people, not saving people!

If there is a mistake in medical skills, even if there is benevolence, it is harmful to others! Healers always need to study hard and improve every day! Firefighters have to study too!

I implore the media not to publicize this kind of wrong and harmful "first aid positive energy" year after year!

There are more than 10 million epilepsy patients in China, of which 6 million are active
epilepsy.
There are still more than 400,000 new patients
in China every year.

Because there are so many patients, people often have the opportunity to encounter seizures on
the road.

Seizures are commonly known as "smoking sheep's horns", and ordinary people can judge
.
However, the popularization of medical knowledge in our country is not done well, and what to do when you have a seizure, many people understand, is not accurate
.

These people, including medical personnel, police, teachers, firefighters and other Kochi groups
.

The wrong way to deal with it, because it often causes harm to the rescuer (and sometimes to the patient), is often used as a positive propaganda in the elegant halls
of big media such as People's Daily.

A casual search on the Internet can find a large number of these wrong first aid methods, as a report
of "positive energy" propaganda.

In recent years, such "positive energy reports" similar to People's Daily in the media have emerged one after another, and every time it comes out, there are medical staff who denounce and correct it on the Internet, but unfortunately, the influence of medical staff, after all, is not the same as the big media, and a few days later, the same report came out again, continuing to mislead the public
.

In fact, stuffing things into the mouth of a patient with a seizure is a common wrong practice
in our country.

In the past, doctors believed that in order to prevent patients from biting their tongues, rescuers would do everything possible to pry open the patient's teeth and stuff
things into the patient's mouth.

Medicine is constantly improving, and doctors' medical knowledge needs to be updated
.

In fact, biting the tongue is often when the seizure is just beginning
.
When the people on the side found out that he had a seizure, the bite was already bitten
.

After this time, the patient's teeth appear to be in a continuous state of occlusion, and the tongue rarely has the opportunity to reach between the closed teeth and bite.

Have you ever seen a seizure patient's mouth closed, and his tongue stretched out and spit out for his teeth to bite?

Teeth closed, foaming at the mouth, the people are familiar with the symptoms of this "smoking sheep's horn wind"
.

Therefore, it is useless for patients who find seizures to pry open their teeth to plug things to protect their tongue, and it can also cause fatal injuries
to the patient.

The most dangerous thing about stuffing things between the teeth of epilepsy patients is that the powerful masseter muscles will bite off the stuffed things, and after these things are bitten, they fall into the pharynx and cause the patient to suffocate
.

Asphyxiation in a state of seizures means the death
of the patient.

This kind of bloody lesson is often encountered in hospitals, and people who have a heart to search on the Internet can also find such reports
.

Dr.
Zhang Zhihua, chairman of the Taiwan Medical and Labor Union, said that he once encountered a mother who encountered a small baby's body cramps, so he learned the TV series to stuff a small towel into the baby's mouth, and as a result, when he arrived at the hospital, the baby had purple lips and stopped beating, even if the hospital still tried its best to rescue it, but still lacked the skills
.

Because the patient's teeth bite is a strong masseter muscle contraction that is not controlled by his own will, forcibly stuffing things between the teeth of epilepsy patients, which will cause damage to the patient's teeth and gums, and in severe cases, it will lead to tooth fracture
.
The serious consequence of a broken tooth is that the broken tooth can also fall into the airway, causing suffocation
.

Originally, seizures, pumping for a few minutes, it would be fine, if the rescuer of "positive energy" stuffed something into his mouth, causing him to suffocate and die, what a tragedy would it be?

Even if the rescuer is not criminally responsible, I believe that he will feel guilty in his heart for the rest of his
life.

There are also very common media relished "positive energy" reports, that is, chest heart compressions for patients with seizures! This kind of behavior is also harming people!

Having the right medical knowledge, doing the right help, and benefiting and harmless to patients are positive behaviors
.
Next, let's talk about how we can be a positive helper
when we encounter epilepsy patients on the road.

1.
Remove dangerous objects around the patient to avoid injury
due to collision.
Help the patient lie down and put soft things on his head, such as clothes
.
This is mainly to avoid injuries
to the patient's head due to hitting the ground.
Remove the patient's glasses to prevent injury
from breaking them.

2.
Let the patient lie on his side, so that saliva or food can flow out of the corner of the mouth due to gravity, instead of inhaling into the trachea to cause asphyxiation or aspiration pneumonia
.
At the same time, pay attention to recording the time of the
patient's seizures.

3.
Do not stuff anything
into the patient's mouth.

4.
Do not try to wake the patient up loudly, and do not hold or tie the patient's body to restrict him from moving
.
Because the patient's consciousness and jitter come from abnormal brain discharge, the patient cannot decide, and the external force limitation cannot be changed
.

5.
Generally, there is no need to call 120 or help send patients to the hospital
urgently.

Most seizures do not require an ambulance to go to the hospital
.
Ambulances also cost money
.
Of course, as long as you are willing to pay for the patient and are not afraid to waste money, it doesn't matter
if you send it to the hospital.
Generally, you need to be sent to the hospital unless you encounter the
following circumstances.

A.
The seizure is long, more than 10 minutes
.

B.
Frequent seizures
in a short period of time.
More than
3 seizures within 30 minutes.

C.
Continuous seizures, and no consciousness
is regained between seizures.

D.
Difficulty breathing or injury, or other diseases, such as heart disease, pregnancy, etc
.

To sum up, when we encounter epilepsy patients, what we should do is: padding the patient's head, untying the neckline, lying on the side, no foreign body in the mouth, identifying the identity, and not pressing
.

After doing this, we will let him quietly be a convulsive patient, and when the seizure is over, we will help him
.

In this way, it is the correct way to
deal with patients with epilepsy.

On July 15 this year, the authoritative interpretation of heat stroke by the National Health Commission also emphasized that do not stuff anything
into the mouth of a patient with a seizure.

Screenshot of the original text of the National Health Commission's announcement

This should be the wrong first aid method
when the National Health Commission has also noticed the seizure of stuffing something into the patient's mouth.

Therefore, when interpreting heat stroke, special emphasis is placed
on it.

The wrong behavior of stuffing things into the mouth of patients with seizures has been promoted by the media as "positive energy" for many years, and people continue to follow suit, and then the media publicizes it as positive energy and constantly strengthens it.
.
.

In fact, epilepsy patients are constantly harmed by this behavior, even leading to death by suffocation, but no one pays attention to this result.
.
.

Saving people requires medical knowledge, if you don't understand, please don't mess with patients, people with a sense of justice but no medical knowledge will do the most harm to patients!

Poor epilepsy people, you have come to the wrong place, you really should not get sick in front of people who are unlearned but have a sense of justice!

My articles, the dissemination is very limited, for this, there is often a deep sense of powerlessness!
