Gas poisoning is usually referred to as carbon monoxide poisoning, which is a colorless, odorless, non-irritating gas. In daily life, burning coal, gas water heaters, gas stoves, etc., will produce carbon monoxide. When the human body inhales excessive amounts of carbon monoxide, it can cause hypoxic poisoning, ranging from headache, nausea and vomiting to coma and even death.
Safety knowledge to prevent gas poisoning:
1. Pay attention to ventilation: When using coal for heating or cooking, keep the room ventilated and avoid closed doors and windows. There is an option to leave a gap in the window to allow air circulation.
2. Use qualified coal tools: purchase and use qualified coal and coal tools, and avoid using inferior coal and coal tools.
3. Regularly inspect coal tools: regularly check whether coal tools are leaking or have potential safety hazards, and repair or replace them in time.
4. Avoid parking indoors: The car engine consumes a lot of oxygen and produces carbon monoxide when it is idling, so you should avoid parking indoors and idling for a long time.
5. Install carbon monoxide alarms: Install carbon monoxide alarms in homes and offices and other places in order to detect gas leakage and poisoning in time.
First aid for gas poisoning:
1. Quickly open windows for ventilation: move the patient to a well-ventilated place and open doors and windows for ventilation to reduce carbon monoxide concentration.
2. Keep the airway open: ensure that the patient's airway is unobstructed, and if necessary, carry out artificial respiration or use a ventilator to assist breathing.
3. Keep warm: pay attention to keeping the patient warm and avoid catching a cold.
4. Seek medical attention in time: If the patient's symptoms are severe, they should call the emergency ** or send them to the hospital** in time.
