A heavy snowfall, the temperature in Shijiazhuang plummeted. Although most of the snow has been cleared on the cold streets, the slippery road surface poses a safety hazard to pedestrians. Not only the elderly should be careful, but also the young. Many doctors from Shijiazhuang People's Hospital have summarized a handbook for preventing falls after snow, hoping to provide a guarantee for you when traveling.
Fall and hurt your teeth Please pay attention to these points
In the interview, what was unexpected was that the dentist was the first to stand up and remind. "On a snowy day two days ago, there was a sharp increase in the number of patients who slipped and fell while walking because of falling while riding. On the day of the heaviest snowfall, within 30 minutes, we saw three patients who had fallen and had loosened their front teeth. He Yang, director of the Department of Stomatology of the Municipal People's Hospital, said.
He Yang said that there are two types of patients who come to the Department of Stomatology, one is that the front teeth are loosened due to falling, and in severe cases, they will break or even fall off. The other part of the patient fell onto the road due to the fast speed of riding an electric car, resulting in a facial contusion that required stitches.
In view of the complete dislocation of the tooth trauma, He Yang has several suggestions that he hopes the general public will know: patients will seek medical treatment in time after facial injuries or broken teeth or loose teeth, but some patients fail to seek medical treatment in time after tooth loss. They think that if it is lost, it will be lost, and there is no need to look for the lost tooth, and if the broken tooth can be found on the spot, the doctor can fix the tooth by replanting. However, some patients who return to look for the missing tooth after understanding the situation may miss the 60 minutes of "rescue".
In the event of a complete dislocation, the patient should hold the crown of the tooth and do not touch the root of the tooth with his hands. Rinse off the dirt on the surface of your teeth with clean water in a timely manner. After cleaning your teeth, never use toilet paper or carry your teeth in your pocket. The active material on the surface of the tooth root likes to stay in a moist environment, and if it is taken in a dry state, the surfactant is no longer there, and the survival rate of replantation is affected. He Yang said that after rinsing the teeth, the teeth can be held under the base of the tongue and brought to the hospital in the moist environment of the mouth. Of course, you can also buy a bottle of milk and bring your teeth to the hospital by soaking them in milk or saline, but never put your teeth in a bottle of mineral water, because the active substances on the teeth in mineral or purified water will also die quickly.
Take a slow walk after the snow
Keep your hands in your pockets when walking
In the interview, Li Yipeng, director of the Department of Orthopedics of Shijiazhuang People's Hospital, said that snowfall has caused more orthopedic outpatients than usual, especially the elderly to fracture. Among patients with fractures, wrist fractures are the most common, followed by hip fractures, and sacrococcygeal fractures, all of which are prone to slip and fall injuries.

In this case, you should go to a regular hospital as soon as possible. If the injured part of the fall can still move, it may only be a slight soft tissue injury, but it is also recommended that you go to the orthopedic clinic to take a photo** in order to confirm what to do next**. I would like to remind everyone that the first thing is to try to go out as much as possible after snow, especially not to go to places where the road is slippery. Secondly, do not put your hands in your pockets when walking, as they can be used to maintain balance. The third is to wear non-slip shoes as much as possible, and walk slowly when walking, which can reduce the probability of falling and falling. Li Yipeng said.
At the same time, Fan Jinpeng, chief doctor of the Department of Orthopedics of the Municipal People's Hospital, reminded the general public: fractures mostly occur on snowy days and in the first 1-2 days after snowfall. As the snow is cleared, the road surface seems to be easy to walk, but there will be a thin layer of ice on the road in the morning and evening, and everyone will relax their vigilance in their minds, which will lead to an increase in falls.
When the elderly go out for activities, it is best to go out after ten o'clock in the morning or before three or four o'clock in the afternoon, when the road surface is muddy after melting snow, but the friction of the road surface is relatively large, and the probability of slipping is correspondingly less. Citizens who drive should pay attention to the speed and distance of the vehicle, go out in advance, and avoid accidents caused by fast speed or hurrying. Fan Jinpeng reminded.
Traveling after the snow Here are six things to keep in mind
Compared with usual, although the snow was heavier this time, there were not many patients who fell after the snow. Meng Wenge, director of the Emergency Medicine Department of Shijiazhuang People's Hospital Fanxi Road Campus, summarized six precautions for traveling after the snow, and asked the general public to be cautious and slow down and pay attention to safety.
1.The elderly try not to go out. Seniors over the age of 60 should not go out for a few days after the snow as much as possible, and if they must go out, they need to be accompanied by family members.
2.It is better to choose public transport. Choose public transportation when you go out, and try not to ride bicycles or electric vehicles. Citizens with little driving experience are advised not to drive either.
3.Don't put your hands in your pockets. When walking, never put your hands in your pockets, as you can keep your body balanced by having your hands outside. Once the road surface is icy, step on the smooth ice and marble surface, please Xi the penguin to move forward with small broken steps, so as to maintain a stable and balanced center of gravity and avoid falling. Do not walk with heavy objects in one hand, as it is easy to lose balance and fall. At the same time, the upper step should grasp the center of gravity of the body, and if there is a guardrail, you should try to grasp it with your hands.
4.Be careful when wearing shoes. It is better to wear non-slip flat shoes, and women should not go out in high heels.
5.Don't rush to get up after a fall. If you notice pain, swelling or deformity in a part of your body after a fall, please do not rush to get up. Once there is severe pain or deformity, it is likely to be a fracture, such as a wrist or arm, which can be simply fixed with cardboard or wooden board. If you have a lower back injury, you should lie flat to avoid secondary injury, and you should call 120 to the hospital immediately.
6.Children should take care of their eyes when playing in the snow. For children, snowball fights after snow are a beautiful thing to look forward to, but children must pay attention to safety, because the external impact of the snowball can easily lead to eyelid ** damage, edema, conjunctival hemorrhage, corneal epithelial damage, and even anterior chamber hemorrhage, plus the use of snow melting agent, may also lead to chemical damage. Therefore, Director Meng reminded parents and children to pay attention to eye protection when playing in the snow, and if they are accidentally injured, they must seek medical attention in time.
