because cardiovascular disease is the most important for the elderly to kill, it often doesn't work. So timely rescue is essential.
0. handset / handset / phone / telephone (guarantee electricity)
this is the most important first aid equipment. Please call 120 or 110 for help in a sudden situation. If only a person in the family is a person, then he can turn to the outside for help for the first time.
If a family member is accompanied, the first thing for an elderly person to be in danger is not to try first aid, but to call for help.
if there are two family members, we need to have a clear division of labor, one person first aid and one person call for help. You can't cut it.
1. AED
home has an old man, especially an old man with a bad heart, if the best permanent deity AED (automated external defibrillator automatic defibrillator) in a conditional home:
generally such a box. Multi icon and voice prompt. Like iPhone, there is only one button for idiot usage, and the elderly can also use it. When the elderly heart attack is serious, ventricular fibrillation and heart arrest, timely use of AED can relieve atrial fibrillation, and greatly increase the chance of survival. Although the price of AED is generally not cheap, 5000~10000 yuan can greatly increase the chance of survival and often recover a life. It is worthwhile to spend so much money to buy a life.
2. CPR/ cardiopulmonary resuscitation
is commonly referred to as artificial respiration, and the core idea is to promote circulation through extrusion. In the absence of AED, or before someone tries to get AED, maintain circulation to prevent brain hypoxia. The need to continue before the arrival of professional aid or heartbeat can greatly prolong the survival probability.
this skill must take part in the course. It is very necessary to practice with a dummy under the guidance of a special person: the strength and rhythm of the CPR are very important, and the old people often need to break the ribs to play a role (but this does not mean to break the ribs. " It must be right. If you do not personally try under the guidance, the intensity and rhythm must be not well handled. Random pressure is meaningless.
someone in front said that there must be a certificate to do it, I do not agree with it. At the critical moment, who is in charge of the certificate? The certificate is not absolute, it is just to help you increase authority, and to provide legal protection for strangers. Of course, no matter whether there is a certificate or not, practical training is definitely necessary.
3. trachea is blocked by foreign body first aid
choked by food is also a fatal risk for the elderly in the family. You need to be familiar with the symptoms of food choking, such as dyspnea, inability to speak, cough, and no exertion. If the old man's consciousness is clear, you need to put down the upper body, beat the five lower back, then press the five lower belly in the hands behind the old man and circulate until the foreign body is coughing out. (thank you for reminding that the previous subconscious feeling that blockage is a loss of consciousness)
you need to lie down on the side of the old man to keep the respiratory tract open, try to clear the airways, and observe the respiratory tract. Suck. If breathing stops, CPR is needed to maintain circulation and ensure survival. If the elderly at home are prone to be associated with danger, it is best to systematically study the specific operation rather than just look at it.
4. emergency apoplexy corresponds to
stroke often can not be detected for the first time, delayed time leads to brain death. To understand the symptoms of cerebral infarction, timely call for help is essential (the corresponding zeroth), the related symptoms can be FAST (quick) to help memory:
Face: let the elderly try to smile (or extend the tongue), if half face no expression (or tongue bias). ) on behalf of the stroke
Arm: let the old man lift hands, if one side is high and low, and the performance of stroke is
Speech: let the old man repeat the simple sentence, if the old man can not repeat the speech, the stroke is the expression of
Time: time, time is very important, the reaction is that stroke needs the first time for help. Don't try to help yourself.
5. trauma / bone injury
easy to slip down, please understand the general treatment of trauma / bone injury.
hemostasis is the most important step, especially for the elderly who take anticoagulant drugs, and it will be very difficult to stop bleeding. If bleeding, simple disinfection (alcohol rinse) after the use of gauze force to press the wound, bandage tightly wrapped, and then wait for assistance or to the hospital treatment, do not forget to forget to help. (at home with regular alcohol, gauze and bandage)
if there is a foreign object inserted, please do not try to remove the foreign objects, and should be wrapped around the foreign body wrapped in gauze and squeezed hemostasis.
If a fracture occurs, try using a variety of hand fixators to maintain and fix the fracture posture, use ice compress to eliminate swelling and relieve pain, and then go to the hospital or call for help. Remember not to try to restore your own bone position.
if there is a concussion, please lower your head and slightly raise your lower body to ensure normal blood supply to your brain.
commonly used first aid for the elderly is so much. After learning, it can greatly increase the possibility of survival for the elderly in unexpected situations.
