Year is coming, do you add a lot of nut foods such as melon seeds, cashews, pistachios, peanuts to your home? Parents with children should pay attention to it, be sure to look at the children, do not let these delicious nuts Food like a mess of the New Year''s atmosphere.

　　 Recently, the number of children with tracheal foreign bodies has increased. According to the rough statistics of our hospital, otolaryngology has recently treated one or two children with tracheal foreign bodies almost every day. (One day, four tracheal foreign bodies were collected at once. ). Among these foreign bodies in the trachea, the most are peanuts and seeds.

　　Why is it easy for children to react to foreign bodies in the trachea? First of all, it is determined by the physiological characteristics of the child. The epiglottis cartilage at the intersection of the trachea and esophagus of the child is immature and not functional. When the contents of the mouth are talking, crying, laughing and strenuous activities, it is easy to suck the contents of the mouth into the trachea and cause the trachea to block, resulting in suffocation.

　　Secondly, it is caused by parents’ unreasonable feeding methods. In our hospital, many children with tracheal foreign bodies are around 1 year old. Now that they are all children, many parents are anxious and want to give all their delicious food to their children. When the child saw his teeth, he thought the child could eat hard things, so an "accident" occurred.

　　 is about to celebrate the Chinese New Year, to remind parents, and hope that the media will appeal more to make parents pay attention.

　　Speaking of ways to prevent foreign objects from entering, I conclude A few points for parents’ reference:

　　1. It is not recommended to feed peanuts, melon seeds and other hard foods to children under five years of age, even if they are teething.

　　2, no It is recommended to feed jelly to children under the age of 3 (to eat, be sure to use a small spoon to feed, do not let the child eat it.)

　　3, don’t let the child contain foreign objects in the mouth, find a similar habit, be timely correct.

　　4. For children under 2 years old, do not put small things in your mouth at home. Especially for children who have just learned to crawl and walk.

　　5. Take the children to visit relatives and friends, and go to a strange environment. Parents must take good care of their children, and should not be taken lightly.

　　6. Don’t make your child laugh while eating, and change the bad habits of talking while eating.

　　7. Parents don’t panic when they see food they shouldn’t eat. Don’t try to dig out the food from your mouth with your hands. This will easily scare the child and cause the child to choke. .

　　 The following two methods can be used to remove foreign objects as soon as possible.

　　Inverted back shot (the method is simple and easy to learn)

　　 For infants and young children, parents can immediately lift their legs upside down, patting their backs at the same time. This can force the foreign body to cough out by the gravity of the foreign body and the force of the gas in the chest cavity when choking.

　　Abdomen push method (not easy to master, not recommended, and please don’t mess with it)

　　 allows the child to sit or stand, the rescuer standing behind him, use Hold the child with both arms, hold the fist in one hand, put the thumb inward between the umbilical and xiphoid process of the child, press the fist with the other hand, and push it upwards and inward rhythmically to promote the raising of the diaphragm , Compressing the bottom of the lungs creates a powerful airflow in the lungs, making it rush out from the trachea, forcing foreign objects to reach the mouth with the airflow, and excluding them.

　　If the above method is not effective or the situation is urgent, the child should be rushed to the hospital immediately, and the doctor will perform tracheoscopy or tracheostomy according to the condition.
