Changsha Evening News, Changsha, February 16 (Quan** reporter Xu Yuan, correspondent Ouyang Geng) Recently, "Why are only Chinese doctors good at taking fish bones?" The topic of "is on the hot search. Netizens have left messages that the medical skills of Chinese doctors in pulling out fish bones can be described as perfect. But in real life, because of the fear of trouble, many people are stuck in the fish bone, and the first thing that comes to mind is to use the soil method. In this regard, Ouyang Geng, deputy chairman of the Otolaryngology Disease Prevention and Control Professional Committee of the China Maternal and Child Health Association and deputy chief physician of Changsha Maternal and Child Health Hospital, reminded that most of the fish bones stuck in the throat can be easily pulled out when they go to the hospital, but some local methods will cause secondary injuries.
During the Spring Festival, there are many more people who go to the hospital to pull out fish bones, and some hospitals even open night fish bone clinics. This is because during the Spring Festival, fish is indispensable on the dinner table of every household. The fish is delicious and can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as steamed fish, braised fish, chopped pepper fish head, sweet and sour fish, and fragrant crucian carp tofu soup. Compared with marine fish, freshwater fish have more and finer bones, and when you are happy to drink, you may accidentally get stuck in your throat.
If you encounter such sudden symptoms during the Chinese New Year, many people want to try to deal with it themselves. Ouyang Geng reminded that the local methods of drinking vinegar, inducing vomiting, and swallowing rice balls cannot be used, because drinking vinegar will not soften the fish bones and will not work at all; When fish bones are squeezed through the rice balls, they tend to pierce deeper, and even puncture the esophagus, injuring the aorta.
The Heimlich maneuver is also not advisable, it is a first aid method for complete obstruction of the trachea and suffocation, not a solution to esophageal problems, the place where the fish bone is stuck is the pharynx or esophagus is not the trachea, so the fish bone stuck in the throat can not be used this method.
The correct way to do when jamming fish bones is:1Immediately stop eating and reduce swallowing movements, relax the muscles in the throat, minimize swallowing movements, and avoid secondary damage to the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract; 2.If the bones are small, try to cough gently, as the small bones will be coughed out along with the airflow. 3.Ask for help from others: After opening your mouth wide, use a spoon or cotton swab to lower your tongue and continue to make an "ah-" sound, while observing whether there are fish bones in both tonsils and the posterior pharyngeal wall. ）；4.If the above methods do not work, you should go to the nearest regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment. A fish bone is a foreign body that can cause an inflammatory response in the tissues if left for a long time, and can be life-threatening if not removed soon.
Ouyang Geng introduced that if you can't handle it yourself, don't worry about going to the hospital too troublesome, in most cases, the doctor uses a headlamp to shine, a tongue depressor, find the location of the fish bone, and then take a foreign body pliers to clamp it, you can easily pull out the fish bone.
