Child Safety and First Aid Yin Ke

Ordinary parents learn the family protection system from Yin Ke, a senior practitioner in the field of children's safety first aid, and can master the response methods to 80% of children's high-frequency accidental injuries in as fast as 3 hours. They can avoid more than 90% of common safety minefields in families without reciting complex medical terms, and can even seize the golden rescue time of their children at critical moments.

Many people don’t know that Yin Ke spent 8 years in the pediatric emergency department of a tertiary hospital and saw many disasters caused by parents due to ignorance - babies wearing crotchless pants in summer sat in a basin of boiling water and suffered severe burns, and elderly people fed broken peanuts to crying children and choked the air pipes. When they were delivered, the best time for treatment had already been missed. He later quit his job to do science popularization, saying that instead of rescuing children who had already had accidents in the emergency room, it was better to put the skills in the hands of parents in advance.

There are actually different opinions on this in the industry. Many pediatric clinicians believe that ordinary parents have not received systematic medical training, and emergency operations can easily go wrong. For example, if the strength of the Heimlich maneuver is not properly controlled, it may cause rib fractures and internal contusions in children, which in turn aggravates the injury. It is also recommended that you seek medical attention as soon as possible if you encounter problems, and do not operate blindly. Yin Ke does not refute this point of view. The first page of his PPT every time he attends class reads "Operational Boundaries": which situations must be called 120 before self-rescue, and which situations can be dealt with first and then sent to the doctor. The distinction is clear. “120 The average arrival time is 15 minutes, and the golden rescue time for foreign body obstruction is only 4 minutes. Can you afford to wait? Even if your technique is not that standard, as long as you move in the right direction, it is better than sitting and waiting. ”When he said this in the last community charity class, several parents in the audience secretly became jealous.

I have listened to his offline classes, which are completely different from other first aid classes. There is no professional terminology filling the screen, and there are even very few PPTs. A child simulator wearing a small dinosaur jacket is used to teach. Halfway through the class that day, the manager downstairs came up in a panic and shouted, saying that a child had choked on jelly and his face was purple. When Yin Ke ran down, the child's grandmother was holding the baby upside down and patting her back, causing the baby to kick her legs. He stepped forward to take it, knelt on the ground and pressed it three times with the Heimlich maneuver. Half a piece of jelly spurted out with a "pop" sound, and the child cried out in less than 30 seconds. The parents around him were all taking videos. The first thing he said when he got up was, "My two strokes just now were a bit heavy. When you do this to your baby at home, you should use the strength of your arms, not your whole body."

He never engages in "elitist" science popularization. Knowing that most parents don't have the energy to read thick first aid manuals, he cuts 20 common accidental injury treatment methods into 15-second short videos, so you can learn them in just one glance.； We also made free refrigerator magnets for fans, with three-step treatment methods for burns, bumps, and foreign body obstructions printed on them. You can remember them at a glance when cooking. A mother sent him a private message before, saying that her 1-year-old baby choked on blueberries. Her mind went blank at the time, and she looked up at the steps posted on the refrigerator. She pressed the button while holding the baby, and the blueberry came out before 120. Later, she went to his studio to express her gratitude with the baby in her arms.

Of course, it is not that no one has raised objections. Last year, a parent followed his video and applied pressure to stop the bleeding of a child who broke his head. He did not notice that the child had intracranial hemorrhage caused by a skull fracture, which almost delayed the work. Yin Ke later made three videos specifically to talk about "Danger Signs After a Collision", repeatedly emphasizing that if a child develops drowsiness, projectile vomiting, or watery ears and nose after a fall, do not press the head to stop the bleeding, immediately call 120 and lie flat and send him to the hospital. He said that the bottom line of his science popularization is "I don't advocate that self-help is omnipotent, and when it's time to see a doctor, don't force yourself to do it."

The last time I scrolled through his circle of friends, I saw the kid I rescued who choked on jelly, and gave him handmade flowers from the kindergarten. In the photo, his smiling eyes narrowed into slits, and the caption was "The most fulfilling thing in my life is that no one comes to the emergency room to see me anymore." To be honest, compared to those professional courses that frequently talk about pathology and grading, what he talks about is too "down-to-earth". There are no fancy terms, and even the operation steps are simplified to less than three steps. But each step is based on the solid experience he has accumulated in the emergency room for 8 years. For ordinary parents, this is enough.
