How to give first aid to the old man when he falls?
1, when the old man suddenly falls down, don't rush to help him, otherwise he may not be able to get up. For example, if an elderly person falls down due to cerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage is lifted up immediately, the bleeding symptoms will be aggravated and his condition will deteriorate rapidly.
2. First of all, observe the expression and manner of the old people. If he is conscious, he can ask the reason why he fell and then give help. In case of angina pectoris, help them take the first-aid medicine they carry with them.
3. It is necessary to judge whether the fall is caused by sudden death. If the elderly who are in good health or stable condition suddenly lose consciousness and the aortic pulse disappears, it should be regarded as sudden death. Sudden death patients should lie flat on the ground immediately, and no movement is allowed. At the same time, we should immediately carry out cardiopulmonary resuscitation and call 120 emergency number quickly.
4, the elderly fall prone to fractures, some fractures, such as femoral neck incarcerated fractures, spinal fractures and so on. Except for the pain, the rest of the fractures are not obvious. If you barely stand up and move improperly, your condition will worsen. In particular, spinal fractures can damage the spinal cord and lead to paraplegia. Therefore, after the old man falls, he should first slowly roll onto the hardwood board and lie on his back.
5. Determine whether there is a fracture after the fall. Old people are most likely to cause wrist and thigh fractures and thoracolumbar compression fractures after falling. Don't rush to help the old man with a fracture after he fell. Because improper handling will not only aggravate the injury and bone dislocation, but also lead to irreparable disability. For example, patients with spinal fractures can easily damage the spinal cord during movement, leading to paraplegia.
6. If you have low back pain and suspect a lumbar fracture, you should use a pillow or blanket to prevent the spine from bending and compressing the spinal cord.
7. If a femoral neck fracture is suspected, fix the fracture site with a board. The length of the board is equivalent to the armpit to the heel. At the armpit and the end of the board, wrap the padding and wrap the chest and pelvis in a circular way for two weeks.
8, other parts of the fracture, fracture can be clamped with two pieces of wood, upper, middle and lower three parts with bandages.
9, craniocerebral injury with otorhinorrhea, do not use gauze, cotton, handkerchief to fill, otherwise it will lead to intracranial hypertension, and secondary infection.
10, the elderly with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes and other chronic diseases should be alert to transient cerebral ischemia and stroke. Stroke is often manifested as dizziness, dizziness, weakness of one limb, hemiplegia, dyskinesia and so on.
How should the old man be helped when he falls?
1. First, pat the old man on the shoulder and shout with both ears. Are you okay? Judge whether you have lost consciousness. A patient who can respond or a sober patient may answer your question. Tell the patient or the injured that you are here to help them, and then ask their permission to ask about the accident. If the other party refuses, they should call the emergency number 120 and stay with the patient until the professional emergency personnel arrive and take over the patient.
When you slap or yell at an injured person, the other person may just move, moan or hum. If so, you should call or ask someone to call the emergency number 120.
2. Next, check whether the patient is breathing. It takes 5 ~ 10 to observe whether there are ups and downs in the chest and abdomen, so as to judge whether breathing exists, such as whether there are ups and downs in the chest and abdomen, or whether there are? Breathe like a gasp? It should be? Cardiac arrest? Do cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately and call the emergency number 120.
3. Next, look for obvious signs of trauma, such as bleeding, fracture, burn or bite.
4. Finally, look for his jewelry with medical information. These jewels will tell you whether the patient or the injured person has a serious illness.
Autumn and winter are the high incidence seasons of cerebrovascular diseases. For common cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, primary medical institutions and residents should master some corresponding first aid knowledge.
