Principal: There is no life-threatening female student suspected of eating jelly sugar throat
The principal of Hong Kong Chaoshang School, Zhan, said that the foreign female student is not life-threatening and needs to stay in hospital for observation.
According to the school's understanding, at 9:35 this morning, the students and the head teacher were in the classroom at the break time. After the break, the head teacher left the classroom and transferred.
About 1 minute later, a student walked to the isolation classroom to ask the teacher for help. He pointed out that a classmate was lying on the ground. The teacher found that the girl was spitting foam at her mouth in an emergency and immediately called an ambulance.
Rescue personnel on duty instructed the teacher to provide emergency first aid for students with extracardiac pressure through the phone, and the paramedics arrived at the scene to take over the first aid and sent the girls to the hospital for rescue.
According to Principal Zhan, the girl had eaten jelly candy when she was taking a break. When she was chatting with her classmates, she suddenly fainted and fell backward and became unconscious.
The school has provided counselling for students and notified the Education Bureau of the incident. One or two students were quite agitated.
Principal Zhan continued that the school will notify the parents of the matter, and the school allows children to eat during a break, and then they need to wear a mask.
The school will contact the parents at the beginning of each semester to find out whether the student has food allergies and so on.
The principal pointed out that the girls involved were not food sensitive, and according to classmates, it was not ruled out that accidents caused by the girls eating too quickly.

The throat emergency method uses the air in the lungs to push foreign bodies out of the body
Checking the data shows that Li Jiaxing, a specialist in emergency medicine, once accepted an interview with "Hong Kong 01" that most people will experience difficulty in vocalization and asthma when they have a throat, so that people around them know that the patient has a throat and need to call an ambulance immediately.
When waiting for the ambulance, someone can press the patient’s abdomen from the back with both hands, clenching the fist with one hand and clenching the fist with the other. The air in the lung pushes the foreign body out of the body; when a child is unlucky, he can pat the middle of his back with his hand to help cough up the foreign body.
Once the patient is not breathing smoothly and falls into a coma, he should be placed flat on the ground and be subjected to extra-cardiac pressure until the ambulanceman arrives.
