CASE STUDY 1 : FIRST AID AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION


FOUR-YEAR-OLD BOY CHOKES TO DEATH ON FISHBALL


QUESTION

1.Based on the newspaper report , describe the steps of the first aid treatment that should be given to the child in case of choking.

a) Get the child into position
  • Hold the child face down on your forearm, supported by your thigh.
  • Keep the child's torso higher than the head.
b) Give forceful blows
  • Use the heel of your free hand to thump the child in between the shoulder blades up to five times.
c) Turn the child over
  • Turn the child face up, and keep supporting the head and neck. If the object is not out yet, go to step 4.
d) Press the chess
  • Place the child on a firm surface, which may still be your forearm.
  • Place a hand in the center of the child's breastbone and push quickly up to five times.
  • Repeat the back thumping and chest pushes until the object comes out or the child loses consciousness.
  • If the child is still not breathing, open the airway by putting your thumb in the child's mouth and grasping the lower incisors or gums. The jaw should lift up so you can look for the object. Do not do a finger sweep.
  • Do not try to pull the object out unless you see it clearly. You could accidentally push the object deeper in the child's throat.
e) Start CPR, if needed
  • If the child loses consciousness, perform CPR and take the object out of his mouth only if you can see it. Never do a finger sweep unless you can see the object in the child's mouth.

2. Can these type of accident (based on the article) be prevented? Discuss with your group why it can/cannot be prevented. Explain the answers in details.

- For our opinion about the matter , these type of accident can be prevented if the parents keep watching their children activity whenever their children doing , parents was the most important to watch their children from choking , and the parents also should know the knowledge of first aid so they can atleast do something when their children having trouble.
