Last update date: 2020-05-16 11:14In Hong Kong, there were 3 cases of elderly larynx in 3 days, causing 2 deaths and 1 coma. At 9 o'clock in the morning (16th), an old man suspected that his throat fell into a coma while eating, and his wife called the police for help. The ambulance responded to the report and sent the unconscious old man to the United Hospital. Unfortunately, the rescue failed and he died. The police are investigating the case.
Li Jiaxing, a specialist in emergency medicine, said that most people have difficulty in vocalization and wheezing, so that people around them know that the patient has a throat and need to call an ambulance immediately. While waiting for the ambulanceman, the other person can press the patient's abdomen from the back with both hands, one hand clenches the fist, and the other hand clenches the fist. The air in the lungs pushes the foreign body out of the body; when the child is unlucky, he can pat the middle of his back with his hand to help cough up the foreign body. Once the patient has difficulty breathing and falls into a coma, he should be laid flat on the ground and applied with extracardiac pressure until the rescuer arrives.
This year there was an incident in Hong Kong:
At 11:30 a.m. on May 14, 2020, a 63-year-old male resident in the Kowloon City Old People's Home, Luo, fell into a coma while suspecting to eat. At about 4 p.m. on the same day, a 74-year-old mate named Huang Nan in the elderly home in Heng'an Village, Ma'anshan, suspected that the throat was unconscious during eating. Ambulance received the report and sent the unconscious man to the Prince of Wales Hospital where he was certified dead.
