Encountered in critically ill patients, the first four points in accordance with the foregoing order to observe if there should be awareness of barriers to emergency treatment immediately.

At this point, the most horrible thing is that back off the base of the tongue respiratory obstruction (blocked nose from the air channel ) and lead to asphyxiation.

In order to prevent the occurrence of such deaths, must be addressed without delay so that the problem is the base of the tongue that do not obstruct the respiratory tract, to ensure smooth breathing. In other words, to carry out the treatment to prevent suffocation. If the patient or injured on their ear despite calling his name, but can not “hold my hand,” the sort of simple reaction time instructions, it should determine the sense of loss, should be immediately dealt with the following:

First of all, loss of consciousness, breathing, the patient should be lying-fu, head to the back.

In addition, the disappearance of consciousness and breathing all the time, do not rush to carry out artificial respiration. If the airway obstruction, and even though they carry out artificial respiration, the air also could not enter the lungs, artificial respiration is invalid.

In short, when the patient supine, patients with hand on back of the neck, the other hand (the best right-handed) according to the amount of the Department, make every effort to back plate, so that the first moment to the back.

When physicians see many patients with loss of consciousness, conditioned reflex will be to carry out such a deal.

Cervical spine fractures, should be allowed to stretch chin forward

Falling from height, traffic accident, jumped into the shallow swimming in such incidents often occurred in cervical spine fracture, the neck injury the loss of support at this time and another special treatment. If the panic in the usual way to ensure smooth flow of the respiratory tract, will be the head hard back plate, it may be located in cervical spinal injury in the spinal nerve caused by high paraplegia. At this time, should pull the chin forward, will be brought to the base of the tongue. In addition, the first milk is not straight up child care, in order to ensure smooth flow of their respiratory tract should also be operating.

Attention should be paid to the patient or injured person, if the snoring masterpiece, it is not handled properly the performance should be re-let.

Regardless of any person, as long as they can in less than 4 minutes to ensure smooth flow of patients with respiratory tract, it may save the lives of patients. Conversely, if more than 10 minutes, even if rescue experts, but also very difficult.

In the United States, emergency management training, the promotion of A, B, C three steps: A means to maintain open airway (Airway), B refers to artificial respiration (Breathing), C is the heart massage (Cirvueation).

In fact, even if well-trained people to deal with the emergency, but also confusion in the wrong A, B, C sequence of the first artificial respiration, so that in order to correctly handling the order, it is necessary to ABC as a word to remember. It can be seen that to ensure the smooth flow of the respiratory tract is of great importance.

Check the awareness of changes in the six points

As mentioned above, patients with injured or whether consciousness is dangerous to judge whether or not a sign of life. In practice, however, have completely lost the sense of the sleeping state, there are dim, and therefore should be carefully examined.

What degree of awareness of what state it as a danger? How to ensure that when dealing with respiratory smooth do?

General medical awareness of the patients divided into the following six “level of awareness index” for the diagnosis and treatment.

1, completely normal status: always make any clear answer.

2, able to answer questions, but sometimes the performance of a daze.

3, the name calling when promised, but only to “shake hands” and respond to simple commands.

4, several times calling the name of only reluctantly opened my eyes to a simple command has no response.

5, even though many times there is no response to the call. Pinch their hand or foot can frown, moving limbs move.

6, even if no response to pinch it.

Is generally believed that 4-6 in the index from time to time the risk of respiratory arrest, should be to ensure smooth breathing.

In addition, after the hit in the head, even if did not think, but awareness will gradually subside. Also, despite the awareness of the level of injury index is 1-3, should also keep a close watch on changes to the early detection of danger signs.
