Grandson's thumb was broken after grandfather looked away for only 5 seconds
The Spring Festival is coming, these accidental injuries must be prevented
"It will take about 5 seconds. When I look back, the blood immediately surges up..." In the hand surgery and reconstructive surgery ward of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, 60-year-old Lin (pseudonym) recalled what happened to his little grandson more than 10 days ago. Regret: The 1.5-year-old grandson put his right hand into the turning machine, and his thumb was crushed by the machine.
Fortunately, with timely transfer and overnight surgery, the small patient is recovering well.
Therefore, the doctor reminded that the winter vacation is coming, and the child's safety cannot be relaxed at all.
looked out the window for 5 seconds
child with broken thumb
"It was about 4:00 pm when we arrived in Hangzhou, which happened to be the evening rush hour. The car couldn't get up at all, and we were so anxious. At that time, we saw a traffic policeman on the side of the road and immediately asked him for help. Then we were led by the traffic police all the way, and we arrived in Zhejiang Province smoothly. People's Hospital." Xiao Lin, the father of the injured child, was very emotional when he talked about the thrill of the child's injury and rushing all the way to seek medical treatment.
The Xiaolin couple came to a place in Zhejiang from other provinces and opened a clothing factory.
The injured child is Erbao, who can only walk two or three months ago. The child is curious and often looks around and touches the west.
Near noon one day half a month ago, the child was led by his grandfather, Lao Lin, to play in the factory.
At that time, the old man just casually looked out the window, and his eyes stayed for about 5 seconds. He never expected that the naughty grandson had an accident in an instant.
Hearing the cry, Lao Lin hurriedly turned his head, pale in shock. The child had already walked several steps, and his hand was caught by the rotating machine.
Lao Lin hurried over, turned off the machine, and saw a horrible scene, the child's right thumb had been crushed by the machine.
The local hospital believes that children are small and the blood vessels and nerves are more delicate than adults. Due to the limitations of medical technology, it is recommended to go to the provincial hospital immediately. Even if the operation is too late, the effect will be reduced.
"The thumb of the little patient was broken, the bandage was soaked with blood, and the pain kept crying. The parents who accompanied him were very anxious..." Yang Xiaodong, director of the Department of Hand Surgery and Reconstruction Surgery of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, recounted the situation when the little patient came to the hospital at that time. .
Without further ado, under the overall command of the hospital leaders and the medical department, the doctors sent the small patients to the operating room in time.
Attending physicians Suo Yan and Lu Hongrui performed the operation under the guidance of Director Yang Xiaodong.
Intraoperatively, it was seen that the child had a rotational tear and severe vascular injury.
As a child over one year old, the blood vessels are much smaller than adults, but we do not give up any hope.
Under the microscope, the doctors used sutures much thinner than a human hair to accurately anastomose the blood vessels and nerves... At about 11 o'clock that night, they finally put back the thumb that had been separated for several hours.
After postoperative anti-infection and careful nursing, the condition gradually stabilized.
Yesterday morning, the patient was discharged home to recuperate.
Accidental injury to children
Often happens in seconds
"The grandson's thumb is gone within a few seconds of being out of sight. This is a wake-up call for parents!" Director Yang Xiaodong said that no matter how many times the child is safe, the most important thing is to prevent problems before they occur.
For example, the winter vacation has come. In addition to the 7-day long holiday of the Spring Festival, many parents need to go to work, go out to do errands, etc., leaving their children at home or letting them go out to play alone is prone to danger. Although children have a certain awareness of safety nowadays, after all, there are many things He can't make correct judgments and predictions; especially young children, who are not familiar with the world, ignorant and fearless, even if there are people in the family, don't let the children out of sight for a long time, sometimes accidental injuries may happen in minutes.
Director Yang Xiaodong said that the next step is to seek medical treatment in a timely and scientific manner when an accidental injury occurs.
Like the occurrence of amputation of fingers (toes), it is important to preserve the amputation and finger movement.
First, wrap the severed finger in a clean dressing or cloth and seal it in a plastic bag (remember not to rinse unless it is heavily contaminated); second, put it in a plastic bag or bottle with ice cubes and hand it to the medical staff However, do not directly contact the severed fingers with ice to prevent frostbite; send the wounded and severed fingers to a hospital capable of replantation of severed fingers in the shortest time possible, and call 120 for help if necessary.
"When there are some minor injuries and minor pains, don't blindly use earthwork. For example, some parents see that their child is scalded, either smearing batter or applying potions indiscriminately. These practices are useless and even counterproductive. The wise approach is to take the child to rush Go to the hospital; for serious injuries such as falling from a height, you must call the 120 ambulance and send it to a medical institution for treatment." Yang Xiaodong reminded.
