Andromeda Poisoning itself is one of the most frequent disposal scenarios of accidental first aid, and they are nested rather than independent-the general principle of accidental first aid is the underlying foundation of all poisoning disposal, and the specific disposal methods of poisoning complement the scene coverage of accidental first aid. The poisoning first aid methods we talk about every day are essentially the extended application of accidental first aid logic in specific scenarios.
Tell me a true story about a police incident last month. Several young people who rented a village in the city ate online-bought wild mushrooms to rinse hot pot, and they vomited and had diarrhea for more than half an hour. One of them was already unconscious, and the roommate who shared the room didn't feed the so-called detoxification remedies indiscriminately for the first time. First, put the unconscious person on his side to avoid choking vomit into the trachea and causing suffocation. At the same time, pack the rest of the mushrooms and take-away packages, and make it clear that it may be poisonous mushrooms poisoning when calling 120.
At present, there are different voices in the industry about whether to separate poisoning first aid from ordinary accident first aid to do special science popularization. First-line clinical doctors tend to split up. After all, special poisoning, such as paraquat poisoning, organophosphorus pesticide poisoning and snake bite, has its own treatment process and special antidote, which is very different from the treatment of ordinary falls, burns and airway foreign bodies. It is always harmless for ordinary people to learn more. However, most of the colleagues who do popular science disagree. They think that ordinary people are not systematically trained, and it is easy to get confused by memorizing too many small special operations. When something really happens, they forget the core principle of emergency first aid, namely "keeping vital signs first", which is not worth the loss.
I've been doing pre-hospital first aid for almost 8 years, and there are 80 poisoning cases I've encountered. I've sorted out some key points of dealing with the most common poisoning scenes, which can actually correspond to the underlying logic of accidental first aid. It's enough for ordinary people to remember these:
| Common poisoning scenes | Key points of core disposal | The corresponding underlying logic of accidental first aid |
|---|---|---|
| Eating toxic food/chemicals by mistake | Those who are awake and can cooperate can drink warm water to induce vomiting first, and those who are unconscious/convulsive lie on their side. Do not forcibly feed water or induce vomiting, and keep the remaining poison packages. | Avoid secondary injury and maintain airway patency. |
| Inhale toxic gases (gas/chlorine, etc.) | Move the person to a safe area with open ventilation at the first time, and do cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately after respiratory arrest. Don't stop at the poisoning scene for rescue. | Get out of the dangerous environment first and give priority to vital signs. |
| Poisonous animal bites (snakes/poisonous insects, etc.) | Tie the wound near the heart with a bandage (loosen it for 1 minute every 15 minutes). Don't suck through your mouth, don't cut the wound and bleed, and send it to the doctor as soon as possible. | Slow down the spread of toxins and avoid secondary injuries. |
Look at the disposal of these common scenes, none of which is divorced from the general logic of accidental first aid. The only extra requirement of poisoning is to keep samples or packaging of poisons as much as possible, which saves time for subsequent medical treatment. This is essentially the requirement of "transmitting effective information in advance and reducing the cost of subsequent judgment" in accidental first aid. We usually give propaganda to residents and rarely talk about the special detoxification methods of all kinds of poisoning. We all explain the general logic of accidental first aid first. It's better than anything if we don't operate blindly and save lives first.
