The self-saving method of suffering from "cafe disease"

"Cafe sickness" sounds strange at first, but it happens from time to time in our daily life. The name of the disease originated in the West. People are drinking fragrant coffee and tasting delicious snacks while chatting with friends in the cafe. Often at this time, inadvertently food into the trachea, throat or airway obstruction. People are suddenly speechless and out of breath. this is what we usually call "choking", which is medically called "suffocation".

First aid can be given on the spot before the arrival of the 120 ambulance. The "Heimlick" rescue method advocated by foreign experts is very effective.

The first situation: urgently call the patient's name loudly, although the patient can not speak and breathe, but the consciousness has not been lost and can still stand. At this time, the rescuer should stand behind the patient, hold his left hand against the patient's upper abdomen with his thumb (usually placed on the patient's navel), put his right hand on the left hand, hold the patient tightly, and squeeze the patient's abdomen backward and upward with the impact of his fist. When squeezing the food into the mouth, grasp the patient's tongue and lower jaw with one thumb and index finger and pull it downwards. The index finger of the other hand extends gently to the base of the tongue along the buccal part of the mouth. The index finger bends like a hook to pick out the food that has been entered by mistake, or encourages the patient to cough and spit. Be careful not to poke food directly with your fingers.

The second situation: if you unfortunately have a cafe disease and there is no one around to save you, you can take the method of self-help. The left hand clenches the fist against his abdomen with his thumb (usually on the navel), the right hand on the left hand, and squeezes the abdomen backward and upward with the impact of the fist. When squeezing the food into the mouth, one index finger extends gently to the base of the tongue along the buccal part of the mouth, and the index finger bends like a hook to pick out the food that comes in by mistake, or cough and spit out hard. Or the body lying on the back of the chair or the edge of the railing repeatedly squeeze the abdomen, can also drive away the food that entered by mistake. Zhang Pengya
