The worst fear is that the foreign matter that cannot be discharged will stick to the airway wall.
There was a little sweat on Cao Yong's forehead, and there was a sense of anxiety between his brows.
Time passes by second by second, first aid is of the utmost importance, and every first aid action is a fight against death.
Five abdominal thrusts had no effect.
"Senior brother, put it on the ground." Xie Wanying saw that this was not going to work and suggested.
Cao Yong nodded.
The two of them laid the child flat on the hard tiles of the hospital to test the child's breathing.
The airflow at the child's nose and mouth is very low. He is afraid that the child will suffocate immediately. Cao Yong puts his fingers under the child's sternum to press and push the child's lungs to see if it can act as an artificial cough. This is the chest impact method.
.
For patients with complete airway obstruction, the peak airway pressure produced by the chest thrust method is greater than that of the abdominal thrust method. However, if the airway is completely obstructed, these methods are equivalent to throwing an egg against a stone.
Almost zero.
The most important thing is to remove the blockage. The above methods are mainly for the first aid provider to help the child use his own body strength to expel the foreign body. If the child cannot expel the foreign body by himself, the doctor can only rely on the doctor to find a way to remove the foreign body from the patient's body.
You must first observe where the foreign body is. This requires the doctor's more careful insight and consideration, and takes a long time. Therefore, in an emergency, the first choice is to help the patient expel the foreign body by himself. It is best to expel the foreign body by yourself.
If the doctor takes it, there will also be other risks and it will be too late.
Now there was no other choice. Xie Wanying could only open the child's small mouth as quickly as possible while her senior brother continued to give first aid to the child. She tried her best to open her eyes wide and look for a breakthrough in the child's mouth. She said to the nurse: "Look for it."
Here comes the bronchoscope."
"Bronchoscopy?" The nurse almost burst out laughing when she heard her words, and said, "We are in the dental department here."
The Department of Stomatology is not an otolaryngology department or a respiratory department. Where does the bronchoscope come from? Once their dental department discovers that a patient has an emergency disease from other specialties that cannot be handled by the dental department, they will immediately call 120 to request support. They can only
Send the patient urgently to a tertiary-A general hospital with emergency conditions or a specialized hospital for other diseases.
The nurse thought again and was reminded by her words, so she ran to the nurse station to call 120.
"Wait a minute." Seeing the person running away, Xie Wanying shouted anxiously, "If you don't have a bronchoscope, get a laryngoscope first."
"Do you want a laryngoscope?"
The voice did not belong to a nurse. Xie Wanying turned her head and saw the dental sister.
Lin Liqiong walked out to find the nurse and realized that an accident had occurred. She hurriedly ran to them to ask about the situation.
"Yes, a laryngoscope is needed." Xie Wanying said with certainty. Although she couldn't remember if anything had ever happened between herself and this senior sister, she believed that all doctors wanted to save people.
"I'll look for it." Lin Liqiong couldn't think of anything else now and ran away, planning to go to the emergency room to find first aid items. If she couldn't find them, she could contact the anesthesiologist in the dental operating room here.
The nurse who finished the phone call heard them talking and came out and reported: "Call 120 and the patient will be sent to Guozhi Emergency Department. Guozhi is relatively close to us, about 20 minutes' drive away. Now we need to
Her mother came back and told her mother about the situation."
More than twenty minutes is too long. If the obstruction completely blocks the airway, there will be no waiting for a second. Once the child is hypoxic, even if he is finally rescued later, it will cause permanent brain damage that cannot be cured.
