考生高考时突然发病,老师来不及找东西,将双手塞进他嘴里……这样的处理对吗?
还是需要强调一下,我所看到的几大机构的说法,都是不推荐将任何东西塞进癫痫发作者口内的,当然也包括施救者的手指。
根据美国(CDC)和英国(NHS)的说法,可以做的事情主要包括让患者侧躺,移除他身边所有可能造成意外伤害的东西,适当垫起头部(Put something soft and flat, like a folded jacket, under his or her head.),弄松领带和衣领(以免影响呼吸),摘掉眼镜。可以记录下发作的时间以及表现,这对患者和他的医生有参考价值。
不要做的事情包括强制约束患者的肢体、往他们嘴里放东西,在患者完全恢复清醒之前也不要给他们食物和水。
癫痫患者确实有可能会咬到舌头,但拿其他东西让他们咬可能反而损伤更严重。
CDC的说法:
Do not hold the person down or try to stop his or her movements.
Do not put anything in the person's mouth. This can injure teeth or the jaw. A person having a seizure cannot swallow his or her tongue.
Do not try to give mouth-to-mouth breaths (like CPR). People usually start breathing again on their own after a seizure.
Do not offer the person water or food until he or she is fully alert.
NHS的说法:
Don’t put anything in the person’s mouth, including your fingers. They may bite their tongue, but this will heal. Putting an object in their mouth could cause more damage.
关心学生健康、急学生所急的老师,都值得称赞。但正确的急救知识也是人们生活所必需。传统上,人们会往癫痫发病者嘴里塞东西让他们咬住。但这种行为不科学,不必要,甚至更容易让他们受到伤害。
