Accident prevention in babies 1-6 months.
At this age, major accidents involving babies are falls, drowning and burns. Always take the following precautions:
• Preferably the baby sleeps on its back or on the right side and his head slightly higher sapwood is rest of the body (do not use pillows) to prevent regurgitation milk and can jam.
• Do not smoke or allow others to smoke inside the house.
• Do not shake or move very strong as it can cause brain damage and even death.
• Do not leave it alone for a bathroom or a high place like a changer.
• Keep away from direct sunlight and do not use sunscreen at this time.
• Check with your hand temperature bath water before putting the baby.
• Do not hold hot liquids while holding your baby and keep it away from heat sources.
• Keep away from environmental pollution and CO2-emitting appliances such as stoves.
Always use a special chair for baby in the car.
What to do in case of choking with a foreign body.
• Ask for help before starting CPR or attempt any maneuver.
• Do not put your finger in the baby's mouth without thinking, may worsen the jam. Just do it if you see the object.
Maneuvers to expel the object.
• Small Babies: Put the baby facedown on your forearm and give five quick, forceful slaps on the back above the shoulder blades using the heel of your hand.
• Infants bit older: Heimlich maneuver. Place the baby upright against your body. Place the first hand with the thumb into the mouth of the baby's stomach and his second hand on the first. Press repeatedly to dislodge the object.
Resuscitation if the child does not respond.
• Shouting and touch to see if the child responds. If not responding put it on your back on the ground.
• Open the airway by lifting the chin. Check for breathing.
• Initiate two breaths of mouth 1.5 to 2 seconds and see if the chest moves. Cover nose and mouth of the child's mouth.
• Initiate compressions with the 3rd and 4th. Finger on the sternum sinking of 1-2 cm. 100 times per minute.
• Keep a rate of 1 breath per five compressions while waiting for the ambulance arrives.
We recommend you take a course in CPR and first aid.
