Elderly people often fall into the state of emergency due to poor health. Meanwhile for the higher aid properly, patients will stabilize and support for later treatment.
The emergency disease common in the elderly
cardiovascular diseases: stroke, coronary heart complications, complications of hypertension, heart failure, low blood pressure levels.
Digestive diseases: bleeding or vomiting blood (due to stomach ulcers, cancer), food poisoning, water (acute poisoning, alcohol ...), acute abdominal pain (due to stomach ailments, liver, ileus, pancreatitis), diarrhea (caused by infections, poisoning), esophageal foreign bodies (by swallowing solids, hormones bone, dentures).
Respiratory diseases co-ordinator: acute pneumonia, acute bronchial asthma attacks, coughing up blood (due to bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, lung cancer, heart disease, blood disease): choke due to movement principles (vomiting many choking movements).
Mental illness: hysterics, seizures, coma, paralysis (due to central or peripheral), vestibular disorders heavily. Also see the injury: bleeding, broken bones, joints, brain damage marrow, shock and other accidents such as coma due to diabetes, drug intoxication, poisoning gas (gas stove), drowning, burns (fire, acid, alkali).
Things to do:
Calm place the patient lies quiet spot, to ease belts, clothes, avoid cold or hot. If the patient is conscious, should motivate them peace of mind, do not panic.
Find ways to call medical staff in the shortest possible time to handle properly and timely.
If the injury causes heavy bleeding, bandage or temporary use hemostatic tourniquet placed on the site adjacent to the lesion. If there are fractures, put the victim lay motionless or forced temporary splint limbs ...
If conditions should count pulse, blood pressure and temperature, use a flashlight pupillary reflex examination (if relaxing to be poor prognosis).
CPR and chest massage when the victim stops breathing and cardiac arrest.
The patient to the nearest medical facility where medical staff is difficult to keep up, to ensure proper transportation.
Things must not
Hurry chest massage or artificial respiration if not specified.
Panic, moving patients incorrectly or hastily piggyback, carry the sick to run this place elsewhere. Injections or medication when the disease is not clear, not only to the physician.
Crowded noisy, suffocating the patient more panic. For patients with cold or hot.
Some typical aid for the elderly:
Aid to the elderly when fractured femur The aid for the elderly in the family should do the following: the leg pain in the foot heal in three segments: ankle to ankle, knee to knee, thigh to thigh , then gently place the victim on a stretcher (preferably a hard stretcher does not use the hammock) then please transporting victims to medical facility for examination and management. The use of fixed braces requires certain knowledge and experience if possible will make the situation worse. To prevent the specific femoral neck fracture should note avoid should not go "barefoot" walking barefoot for having dirty moss places will cause a feeling of "terrible people" at risk of falling; should go soft sandals, backless, the underside of the sandals have good friction, the need to go far to have helpers and use canes.
Aid for elderly people when hypertension
As with hypertension, patients need to take a break, relax completely. Patients should not say much because when it comes not the only laryngeal activity that other organs are also affected by increasing blood pressure high. Sphygmomanometer used to determine the level of increase and appropriate treatment measures.
To lower blood pressure for patients can drink 1 cup of celery juice or carrot. Drinks will help vasodilatation, adjustment disorders in blood lipids and blood pressure stable. Aid to the elderly being hypotension Depending on the position, please quickly to the patient sit in a cool place or put the patient in bed, head slightly lower, raising the legs. (If you have blood pressure measuring instruments measure the blood pressure of the patient to present with appropriate processing method) Let people drink 2 cups of water for drinking 480ml equivalent to help regulate blood pressure. Or maybe for the patient to drink ginger tea, herbal drink, coffee and tea specialties, bold salt foods.
