No matter whether you are healthy or not, you should know the basic first aid knowledge. Then, when someone is in crisis, you can help the other party in the first time and reduce the injury. However, in the case of false positives and false positives, can you be sure that your first aid knowledge is correct? If you use the wrong first-aid method, it will make the situation worse, and it will become a good intention to do a bad thing. Here are a few first aid methods that most people will mistake. Let's see if you have these wrong ideas!
1. What should I wear when I have a fever
When you have a fever, you sweat because of the high temperature in your body. If you wrap yourself in more clothes at this time, your body temperature will rise faster. When you have a fever or shiver, you need to cool down, not warmer.
2. Don't pull the tongue out of the unconscious person
If the tongue slips down, it may block the respiratory tract. It can help them keep their sides or move their heads. Never pull the tongue.
3. Don't rub frostbite
If the frostbite may aggravate the injury, you can soak the frostbitten part in cold water, and wait for the body to gradually warm up. Remember not to soak in hot water, otherwise the frostbite will be more serious.
4. How to deal with scald
Do not apply ointment immediately after scald. Soak the injured part in cold water for 15 minutes. If you apply ointment immediately, you may not be able to remove the excess heat, but you will be trapped in the affected area. It is better to apply the ointment after 20 minutes or more of ice.
5. Don't pat a choking person on the back
When someone chokes to the point where they can't breathe, many people subconsciously pat the other person's back, but this will make the stuck things slide down. Therefore, they should tilt their bodies, comfort them, keep them calm, and instruct them to breathe slowly twice. This will help to relieve asphyxia and can also slowly destroy the obstruction and restore breathing.
6. Don't use tourniquet when you see bleeding
Distinguish the color and flow rate of blood. If it is normal bleeding, tourniquet will make the situation more serious. Tourniquet is suitable for the injury of the static and arterial blood.
7. Don't move the injured
This principle has been called for many times, but it should be reminded again. In case of traffic accidents and other accidents, unless there is an explosion or excessive crisis, do not move the injured at will. If you want to save people, you can call an ambulance, turn off the power or engine of the car, help stop bleeding, pacify the feelings of the injured, and keep them calm.
8. Assess the situation before rescue
It is a good thing to be enthusiastic about saving people, but if you are too reckless, you will not only be unable to save people, but also hurt yourself. Make sure you don't get hurt and save people. For example, if someone gets an electric shock, they use wood and rubber to separate each other from the power supply, instead of rushing to pull people away.
9. Don't put anything in the mouth of an epileptic
Many people think that when patients with epilepsy, because they can't control their own strength, they will bite their tongue, so many people will put spoon and other things into the mouth of patients with epilepsy when they see the onset of epilepsy. But in fact, epileptic seizures will not bite the tongue, even if the bite is only edge or slight injury, if you put things into their mouth, it will lead to tooth fracture. If you really want to help them, you can put a soft thing under the patient's head, then gently put the head down, and then help the patient turn over after the spasm is over.
After reading the article carefully, I found that I still have a lot of first aid ideas! I hope that through this article, I can correct these wrong knowledge, so as not to help others, but make the situation worse and worse!
