What should we do and what should we not do if someone gets stuck with the grapes at New Year's dinner?
The Red Cross has recalled how to deal with Christmas meal emergencies through a video.
Christmas meals bring families and friends together around the table, but there is also an increase in possible emergencies, so the Basque Country Red Crosshas recalled that putting your fingers in your mouth or hitting your back can cause more choking.
To share the recommendations, the organization has released a free training video on its YouTube channel, in which the Red Cross explains what and how to deal with emergencies if necessary.
As explained by the Red Cross, choking occurs when a food, liquid or object blocks the airway, making breathing difficult or difficult. In such cases, acting quickly and properly can prevent serious consequences.
Recommendations
- If the person can cough (partial obstruction):
- Don't hit me on the back.
- Don't put your fingersin your mouth.
- Encourage you to keep coughing and watch the development of the cough
- If he does not cough, speak or breathe (complete obstruction):
- We must act immediately.
- Give me five strong slaps onthe back, between the bones of the shoulder.
- Make five compressionson the A0sabela\u00 (Heimlich technique)
- Alternate the two techniques until the object is expelled or the aid arrives.
- If the person faints:
- Help melie down carefully
- Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneuver has begun and requires urgent assistance.
In addition, the Red Cross has stressed that can make the situation worse byputting your fingers in your mouth or hitting your back when someone coughs.
