How to maintain health: tips for every day
7 typical errors in the provision of first aid in a syncope: a physician against!
"Reinforced concrete" principle of doctors "Do no harm!" Is also relevant in the situation when you need to provide first aid in case of syncope:
-
do not try to immediately put on the feet of a person who has fainted.
From this, the blood supply of the brain will only worsen, so let the unfortunate person get a little napped. You're not Doctor Evil!
-
do not try to revive the slap in the face.
In practice, this beautiful "cinematic" reception threatens with hematomas, and in a very bad "scenario" - head injuries( if you put the victim on a hard surface and head "hobbles");
- when helping with fainting, do not water the sufferer abundantly with water , like a bed of tomatoes at the dacha. Still, what good, choke! Remember, as our wise grandmothers used to say: "You can drown in a spoonful of water!";
-
do not try to remove from syncope as soon as possible.
The first medical aid is to lay, provide free air access and call an ambulance if a loss of consciousness lasts longer than a few minutes. As soon as the blood supply of the brain is adjusted, the person will come to consciousness himself;
-
do not let me smell ammonia( although this is considered the "classic of the genre" of first aid in a syncope) or do it very carefully.
The fact is that if in a hurry to do it wrong( to bring the bottle too close to the nose, to pour the medicine on the face, to keep the cotton wool soaked with ammonia, for too long in the face), then the person can "earn" serious skin burns and nasal mucosa,eye.
Ideally, you need to momentarily bring a slightly moistened ammonia wool to the lower lip( not to the nose!);
-
when providing first aid, do not try to shove some medicines into the victim's mouth while he is in the "outage".
The tablet can become stuck in the airways and provoke suffocation. It's not for nothing that they say that the road to hell has been paved with good intentions!
-
if it so happened that you have a faint before your eyes, give him first aid, and do not panic and do not gather around him a crowd of onlookers with mobile phones.
Think about it, but would you like to become such a "star" of YouTube? That's the same!
