急救方法
在日常生活中,学习一些急救知识,对一个人来说很重要.假如一个人发生车祸,在医生到来之前,需要对他进行医疗护理,做急救时,应注意以下二点.首先,如果他停止了呼吸,掰开他的嘴巴看看喉咙口有无食物.其次,假如他不能呼吸,就采取人工呼吸的方法,尽快使他开始呼吸.再其次,如果他伤的很重,应立即止血,然后送往医院.如果他失血过多,达三分之一,那么他有可能会死.
许多意外事件也有可能在家里发生.因此,家长们应掌握一些急救常识,以便应付一些发生在孩子身上的事件.假如孩子被动物咬伤,先用自来水冲洗伤口,然后送去看医生.如果孩子被烫伤,先用自来水冲洗,降温,然后用一块干净的干布盖住伤口.假如烫伤很严重,应去看医生.如果割伤了手指,应先将伤口处理干净,然后用一块纸包扎伤口.人人都应学习急救知识,这样才能救其他人的性命.
