Seeing baby growing up is the dream of all parents. That is why they do their best to satisfy their needs and protect them. Now, when these little ones begin to crawl, they tend to carry everything in their mouths, including coins and small objects, which risk stifling them. To save your baby, if ever this happens, here is the Heimlich technique used by rescuers. Here is how to save the life of a baby who is suffocating! Information to share!
How to know
that the baby is choking?
There are several signs that must alert you that your baby is
choking:
He has an expression of discomfort or distress on his face,
He has his mouth open and he can’t speak or make a sound,
He has difficulty in breathing and emits acute sounds by inspiring,
He holds his throat in his hands,
He does not breathe, does not cough and turns red or even blue,
He loses consciousness.
What to do when my baby (is less than one year) is choking: The
Heimlich technique.
The first thing to do when your baby has an object that clogs his
or her respiratory tract and that he coughs to expel it is not to shake it or
hit it in the back. Just keep an eye on him. On the other hand, if he can’t
breathe, open his mouth to see if it is possible to see the object and remove
it. Above all, do not push your finger into your baby's throat, for fear of
pushing the object even further.
Then take your baby and place it on your stomach, on your arm, so
that it passes between your legs and your hand supports his face. You can also
use your thigh for more support. Lean your baby down, then with the bottom of
your palm, give 5 firm and quick steps between his shoulder blades.
If the object still does not come out, turn your baby gently on his
back, passing it on the other arm. By leaning her head down and supporting her
at the neck, place two fingers under the sternum, down the line connecting the
nipples. Press firmly while pushing towards the groove, pushing the blocked
object out. Repeat this gesture 5 times by checking your baby's mouth to see if
the object has been moved and can be removed.
Baby has more than a year old: how to react?
If your baby is more than a year old and your back is not working,
place your child in front of you so that his back is against your bust. Make a
point with your hand and place it just above his navel and cover it with your
second hand. Make 5 quick and firm thrusts inward and up the abdomen to expel
the stuck object. Alternate between these pushes and the steps between the
shoulder blades. If your baby loses consciousness; you should call the rescue
immediately and perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation while awaiting their arrival.
The cardiorespiratory resuscitation for baby.
Place your baby on a hard surface, positioning yourself
perpendicularly to his chest. Place one hand under his chin and another on his
forehead, and tilt his head gently backward to clear his airways. Lay your lips
around her nose and open mouth and blow gently, making sure her chest is
lifted. Let it drain before resuming. Do 5 repetitions, then 15 compressions at
the sternum, pressing hard until pushing nearly a third of the thickness of the
chest.
Alternate between 15 compressions and 2 breaths mouth-to-mouth
until the arrival of rescue. If your baby regains consciousness or begins to
cough or breathe, put it in a lateral position and hold it firmly to help it
breathe normally.
