The baby is young and has no concept of danger. The more things they come into contact with, the more bacteria they will get on, which can easily lead to poisoning. There are many ways for babies to be poisoned, and what you need to do, parents, is to take corresponding first aid measures based on the poisoning situation.
What to do with heavy metals in babies
The common heavy metal poisoning in clinical practice mainly includes mercury poisoning, arsenic poisoning, lead poisoning, thallium poisoning, cadmium poisoning, etc. The mechanisms of various heavy metal poisoning are different, and the locations of poisoning are different, so the emergency treatment methods are also different. The following mainly introduces the treatment methods for common lead and mercury poisoning in daily life.
Treatment methods for lead poisoning
The international standard is 50ug/L for children's blood lead, exceeding this amount is considered excessive blood lead. If it exceeds 100ug/L, regardless of whether there are symptoms, it can be diagnosed as lead poisoning. The basic principle of treating lead poisoning is prevention first and nutritional intervention. If the baby has mild to moderate lead poisoning, dietary therapy to eliminate lead is one of the ideal methods; If the baby has severe lead poisoning, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly and use lead expelling drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
Treatment methods for mercury poisoning
The baby accidentally bit through the mercury thermometer, causing mercury poisoning. It is necessary to promptly clean up any residual mercury and glass shards in their mouth; Then let the baby drink some egg white or milk, so that the protein in the egg white or milk can combine with the ingested mercury, thereby protecting the gastric mucosa and reducing the binding of mercury to proteins in the body; Next, try to induce vomiting by stimulating the baby's throat. After completing the above procedures, it is necessary to rush to the local hospital as soon as possible for doctors to provide emergency treatment, and inject high-dose mercury expelling drugs as soon as possible to promote the recovery of the condition.
What should I do if my baby inhales toxic gas
Firstly, let the baby breathe fresh air as soon as possible. If the baby's breathing stops, cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be performed immediately. If possible, please ask someone to help dial the 120 emergency number. But if you are the only one on site, you need to perform a 1-minute cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the baby first, then call 120, and continue performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the baby until rescue personnel arrive or the baby starts breathing independently.
