It hurts my heart! How can I save my child’s life?

Recently, a 5-year-old boy in Lianjiang, Guangdong accidentally fell down while playing at home, and a pencil was inserted directly into a large blood vessel on the surface of his heart. His life was in danger! Fortunately, the child was sent to the hospital immediately. After the full rescue efforts of medical staff, the child was finally out of danger. The child is fine, thanks to his parents not doing a thing! After the boy was sent to the hospital, the doctors held their breath: the pencil had penetrated the superior vena cava, exposing the tip of the pencil, and almost punctured another large vein and the phrenic nerve. And this pencil beats with the heart. The situation is critical. If it deviates by 0.5 centimeters, the superior vena cava may be cut and hemorrhage on the spot and die at home. △The \”murder weapon\” that almost claimed the child\’s life. After the rescue doctor was fully prepared in the operating room, when he pulled out the pencil, the arterial blood pressure measured instantly could not be measured. I can\’t imagine what it would have been like to have been What happens when a parent of a child pulls out the pencil? Why was the child lucky enough to be rescued after being stabbed in the heart? In addition to the doctors\’ superb medical skills and timely rescue, the most critical point is that the parents did not pull out the pencil after the incident, otherwise the child would have been saved on the spot. Doctors remind parents that once an object is inserted into the heart, parents must not take rash actions and cannot pull the object out of the child\’s body on their own. Pulling out the object will cause massive bleeding in the heart, blockage of the pericardium, and sudden cardiac death. The only thing parents have to do is to seek medical treatment in time and choose a professional hospital for treatment. Class N common items are dangerous to children! I believe that there are many indispensable daily necessities in every family. These things bring convenience to our lives, but each of them may become a murder weapon for children. Let’s take stock! Which household does not have sharp items such as pencils, scissors, chopsticks, metal bars, hard plastic pipes, screwdrivers, etc.? But these sharp objects are very dangerous for children! On November 3, 2016, a grandmother in Chongqing was chasing her 2-year-old grandson to feed her. The child accidentally fell down with chopsticks in his mouth, causing the wooden chopsticks to insert about 12cm into the body and only 2mm away from the carotid sheath. Fortunately, the doctor took out the chopsticks and saved the child\’s life. Prescription for parents ① Adults must supervise children when using pencils, chopsticks and other items.

Button batteries Button batteries are often used in children\’s toys. They contain a variety of heavy metals and are highly corrosive.

If you want to save your children’s lives, parents should still do it! ①No matter who is taking care of the child, he must be reminded to remain vigilant at all times. ② Never leave a child alone by chance, accidents always happenOccurs during those few minutes when the child is left alone. ③ Learn first aid techniques such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Once an accidental injury occurs, knowing how to rescue can save lives and avoid disability to the greatest extent. ④ We must strive to be a safety role model for our children. Only when parents\’ words and deeds are consistent can children follow them well and gradually develop safety awareness.
