What is the content of child safety and first aid training

The current compliant children's safety and first aid training on the market focuses on the two major directions of "risk prevention" and "how to deal with". It does not have as much obscure and professional content as everyone thinks. It is basically designed for daily high-incidence children's accident scenarios. I have been teaching children's safety in the community for almost 7 years. The first question every time I start a class is basically asked by parents, "Does this mean you need to be able to do CPR?" In fact, it is not true. Most of the training content is to teach you how to put an end to accidents before they happen. To the extent that you need to use CPR, that is already the last step.

When I was giving a lecture at a Puhui kindergarten in Tongzhou last month, I opened the door by asking for help from parents I had received the week before: A 2-and-a-half-year-old boy grabbed half of the antihypertensive medicine on the table while the parents were turning around to get the express delivery. The parents were so panicked that they gave the baby half a bottle of milk to induce vomiting. When they went to the hospital, they were told by the doctor that they were not using the medicine properly, which would easily cause the medicine to spread. If they had known earlier about reading the instructions for the medicine, picking the baby's throat to induce vomiting, and then taking the medicine box to the hospital, there would have been no need to stay in the hospital for three days for observation. If you attend serious training, you will find that the first half is basically about breaking down everyone's inherent misunderstandings, such as tilting your head when you have a nosebleed, applying toothpaste when you are burned, and slapping your back hard when you choke. Many of these "common senses" passed down from generation to generation are wrong, and if they are actually used, they will aggravate the injury.

When it comes to specific operations, they will combine the high risks of different age groups. For example, for the most common airway foreign bodies, falls, burns and scalds in children aged 0-3, they will use simulation dolls to repeatedly practice the Heimlich technique, as well as the correct length of wound dressing and showering for burns and scalds. There was a nurse before My grandma never dared to exert force when practicing Heimlich. The coach joked that you can’t bear to exert force now. In fact, the peanuts blocked in the baby’s trachea will not come out on their own. After hearing this, grandma became red-eyed on the spot. She said that her eldest grandson had been stuck by peanuts once before. At that time, she only knew how to pat the back and almost had an accident. Oh, yes, there is still a controversial point in the industry, which is whether to teach first aid operations to young children. Some experts think that children aged 3-6 years old are not focused enough and cannot remember the complete operation steps. They are easily panicked when something happens. It is better to teach them to remember their home address, call 120, and know how to call nearby adults for help. However, many kindergartens have reported that before There is a 5-year-old child who learned the simplified version of Heimlich from the training in the kindergarten. When his grandmother choked on eating Yuanxiao until she couldn't breathe, the child stepped on a small stool and punched her stomach three times, which really squeezed out the Yuanxiao piece. Both theories are supported by actual cases. Nowadays, many trainings will adjust the content according to the audience. The version taught to parents is completely different from the version taught to children.

There are also environmental inspections that many people tend to overlook. Every time I give a lecture, I will ask everyone to squat down on the spot and look around from a child's height perspective. Only when you squat down can you find the holes for the power strip exposed under the coffee table, the magnetic beads falling from the seams of the sofa, and the hot water kettle rope hanging down from the dining table. These details that you can’t even notice while standing are all potential safety hazards for the baby. Previously, a father came home from a class and rummaged through the sofa for half an hour. He dug out three unopened button batteries and sent me a message on the spot saying he was scared. A few days ago, the baby even stuffed them into his mouth. He thought they were all put away. Nowadays, many trainings also include the content of home first aid supplies. Instead of asking you to buy hundreds of Internet celebrity first aid kits, they teach you to use ready-made items at home for emergencies. For example, a clean old cotton T-shirt can be used as a temporary dressing for burns and scalds. Room-temperature mineral water is more reliable for burns than comfrey oil and toothpaste. These little things are more effective than anything else in times of trouble.

Anyway, I have been training for so long, and the biggest feeling is that these contents are really not just learned. If you listen to one sentence more and practice it more often, when you really encounter something, you will be less panicked for a second, and your child will suffer less.
