First aid for airway obstruction. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation
One of the most common causes of death in childhood is the overlap of the airways. When this happens, the child tries to draw in all the forces. If the child coughs, it means he choked on something and the airways are partially blocked. At the same time he can talk, cry and the main thing is to breathe.
To eliminate a foreign body, often quite enough cough and vomitive reflex, which will arise in the child. In this case, parents should not do anything, you can only hinder and harm, let the child try to cope. Just stay close and try to emotionally support the baby so that he does not start to panic, but calms down.
Do not get into the mouth of a child and do not try to get a foreign object to the touch - you can push it further!
When should I act?
- the child tries to grab the air
- the baby's skin starts to turn blue
- he loses consciousness
- on the child it is clear that he choked: open mouth, rounded eyes, increased salivation, and he is frightened
- older children show that they choked, holding on to the throat
If yousee the child one or more of the above signs - you need to act. There are two approaches that you can apply.
Back shots that combine with shocks in the chest
This approach is designed for children under one year.
Try to help the child first, do all the manipulations, and then call the ambulance. Simultaneously with the rescue activities, call for help, even if you are alone, maybe someone will hear and be able to call rescuers.
Compression of the chest. If after a blow on the back the child does not start to cry or cough, i.e.did not begin to breathe and the object has not yet come out, turn the child upside down, in the same position, head down, put it on your knee. Four times, press the chest in the center in place, on the finger below the middle between the nipples. Press down with two or three fingers, lowering the sternum by 4 cm and taking a break so that it returns to its original position. Do the first and second items in turn until the foreign object comes out, or until the child loses consciousness. In the second case, strikes on the back can not be done, you need to do an indirect heart massage. Look inside your mouth and find a foreign object. If the child is unconscious and you give him a heart massage for more than 30 seconds, look in his mouth and look for a foreign body. If you find it, get it.
Breathing mouth to mouth. If your child still does not breathe, do artificial ventilation. To do this, make 2 expirations by mouth-to-mouth or mouth to nose and mouth. If the chest is lifted when the air is blown, then the airways are clean. Continue to do artificial respiration until the baby begins to breathe. In the event that the baby's chest does not lift with artificial ventilation, press your mouth to the child's mouth and make two more exhalations.
Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 from the beginning. Alternate an indirect cardiac massage for 30 seconds with two exhalations of artificial respiration and mouth check before the arrival of physicians.

If two minutes have passed, cardiopulmonary resuscitation does not help and no one has yet called rescuers, leave the child and call the ambulance.
Five hits on the back. Place the baby face down, so that his body lies on your forearm and tilt to keep his head below the trunk. Tap your palm between your shoulder blades - the strokes must be strong and fast.
Reception Gameplay. Subdiaphragmatic thrust in the abdomen
This method is performed with children older than a year.
It can be done only if the child is in the consciousness of .Approach him from behind, grasp your waist. One hand squeeze into a fist and with your thumb to yourself put a fist on the baby's belly just above the navel. Squeeze the fist with the second hand and press sharply into the depths and up the abdomen, repeat such tremors 6-10 times. Carefully ensure that your hands do not touch the baby's ribs and sternum. Continue the resuscitation until the foreign object comes out or until the child loses consciousness. In the second case, carry out cardiopulmonary resuscitation described in the previous section: indirect cardiac massage and artificial respiration.
Emergency care for children with bronchial asthma
Bronchial asthma is now a fairly common disease in children. Exacerbation of this disease provokes

Asthma attacks are often removed by inhalation with a nebulizer. For this, the following bronchospasmolytic agents are used: Berodual and Ventolin.
These drugs are used in conjunction with mucolytic drugs - acetylcysteine, ambroxol, carbocysteine, which help children cough up phlegm, becausereduce its viscosity.
- Ventolin is available in nebulas of 2.5 ml. A single dose for a light attack is 0.02 ml for 1 kg of the child's weight, with an average of 0.03 ml / kg, with a heavy dose of 0.03 ml / kg every 20 minutes.

Algorithms of the first first aid for children with injuries
Trauma is considered damage to tissues and organs, which is caused by any environmental factors: physical, thermal, chemical, mechanical.
Injuries:
- of varying severity of damage to
- with and without bleeding
From these characteristics, what will be the first aid depends.
The injury of the is such a trauma, in the event of which the integrity of the skin is not disturbed. Often a bruise occurs when a blunt object hits or falls.
Symptoms of injury:
- pain at injury site

First aid in case of head injurychild
It is very important here to be able to distinguish between skull injuries and brain damage. The skull of a child works like a helmet for the brain, and he covers with the skin, which is often traumatized. The scalp contains a lot of blood vessels, so when the injuries go so badly the blood flows and the cones grow quickly, but do not worry much, apply ice and they will quickly pass.
The main danger in the child's head injuries is brain damage.
It is of two kinds:
- concussion
- bleeding
Pay special attention to the chipped wounds of the baby's head. Outwardly, they do not look serious, but they can damage the skull and cause inflammation of the brain.
If your child has unconsciousness, check breathing. Not breathing? Do cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Breathing? Good. Look at the color of his skin, his lips are not blue? If not, lay it flat and call the doctors. If it seems to you that the neck may be damaged, do not touch the baby, do not change its position - this should be done by qualified medical staff. If a child has convulsions, watch his breathing path so that he does not interfere with breathing.
If the child is conscious, behaves normally, as before the fall, observe him and attach ice to the damaged area.
If your maternal intuition suggests something is wrong, consult a doctor. It is better to be safe here than to miss the moment when you can help without consequences. What to look for and when to go to the hospital:
- child is disoriented, loses balance
- can not wake up
- strangely breathes during sleep
- eyes mow or pupils are differently expanded
- is present vomiting
- skin turns pale
- from the ears goes blood or other liquid
- convulsions are present
First aid to the child with stretching andfracture

- If the blood goes "fountain", immediately apply the tourniquet
- Before this, tighten the artery by strongly pressing on her finger if the child is not 2 years old, if the child is older - press the fist
- The harness is superimposed eitheron the upper third of the hand, if the arm is injured, or on the inguinal fold on the leg, if the wound on the leg
The tourniquet is always tied up above the wound, under it there should be a thin cloth or clothing. If you did everything right, the bleeding will stop immediately.
Harness hold on the body for up to 30 minutes in the winter and up to 60 minutes in the summer. If this is not enough, remove it for a couple of minutes and put it back a little higher than the last time. Do not forget to notice the time, the doctor will ask him.
