300-word review of the open class on children's safety and first aid

The most direct impact on me from this open class is that my previous belief that "children should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible after an accident" is actually a misunderstanding. More than 80% of accidental injuries to children that cause death or disability are caused by improper handling of the golden three minutes before being sent to the hospital.

I still panic when I think about the old community surveillance video shown in class: A 3-year-old boy choked on a peanut, and his grandma patted his back for three minutes, which made the foreign object get stuck deeper into the airway. Fortunately, the pediatric nurse walking downstairs passed by and used the Heimlich maneuver to take out the peanut in 17 seconds. If he had waited until 120, he would have missed the optimal disposal time.

The teacher in the class also specifically mentioned the current controversial issues in children's first aid. For example, if a baby under 1 year old chokes, some emergency science schools advocate direct alternating patting on the back and chest compression. Some front-line pediatricians also suggest that as long as the child can still speak and cough strongly, do not intervene first to avoid secondary injuries such as rib fractures caused by improper operation.

I have now put a simplified version of the first aid operation card on the refrigerator door. To be honest, I would rather not use this knowledge for the rest of my life than to have my mind go blank when something really happens. (Full text 298 words)
