In January every year, there are many accidents that clog rice cakes in the throat. More than 4,600 adults have died from clogging their food, and the Japanese Red Cross Society and others have called for people to learn how to take first aid, such as the "back tapping method."
According to the Tokyo Fire Department, 17 people have been transported in Tokyo with their jars clogged in their throats from New Year's Day to 3rd of this month. Was in danger of life.
Accidents that cause rice cakes to jam in the throat tend to increase every January, and the Japanese Red Cross Society and others have called for memorization of first aid.
1. The first thing you want to try is a method called "back tapping." Lower the suffering person's head, support the chest with one hand, and use the other hand to strike the scapula between the scapulae about five times.
2. If you can not get it, go to the "abdominal thrust method". From behind, turn your arm to the abdomen, make a fist with one hand, place it just above the navel and hold it with the other hand. Push your body up five times, tightening your arms quickly. If you can't get it, repeat with "Back tapping method".
3. For infants, the method changes. The "back tapping method" is performed by wrapping the chin with your hand, lying down on your thighs. Then hit the scapula several times around the slightly swelling under the palm. Since the internal organs are weak, do not strike too hard and try 4 or 5 times and move on to the "chest thrust method".
4. Hold your head on your back, and press your finger slightly below the center of the line connecting the nipples four or five times quickly. The air in the lungs is pushed out and exhaled, and the two methods are alternated until a foreign object comes out.
More than 4,600 people died from clogged food, and emergency measures should be taken after requesting a nearby person to call 119.
Kana Kawai of the Japanese Red Cross Society's Health and Safety Division said, "Prevention of accidents is most important, but if you have a throat clogged up, do not hesitate to take two measures."
