What are the contents of child safety and first aid training

Children's safety and first aid training does not have a completely unified and fixed outline. The core content is designed around high-frequency danger and injury scenarios for children. The focus of training for different groups of people varies greatly. It focuses on practical first aid for parents and early childhood education practitioners, and focuses on enlightenment of children's safety awareness.

In the past two years, I have followed the science popularization team of the city emergency center and conducted more than 20 training sessions for different groups of people. The one that impressed me the most was a new mother at a community clinic last spring. Before the class, she thought that patting her child on the back would be enough. When practicing the Heimlich maneuver, I learned that back patting and abdominal thrusts should be alternated in rhythm. I started using it just a week after returning home, and saved a 10-month-old baby who was stuck in a cherry tomato and turned purple.

If the training is for early childhood education and day care practitioners, the content will be much more detailed. After all, they have to manage a group of children. In addition to the basic first aid operations such as foreign objects stuck in the throat, cooling down burns and scalds, stopping bleeding due to bumps, and washing animal bites, the risk pre-screening of group scenes should also be added, such as during lunch break. Make sure one by one that the child does not sleep with buttons or small rubbers in his mouth. Before outdoor activities, check the venue for gravel and sharp protrusions. You even need to learn how to judge whether the child has a radial head subluxation (also known as dislocation) and whether you can move the child casually in this case.

Oh, by the way, there are still quite some differences in the industry on whether to include children’s cardiopulmonary resuscitation as a compulsory course for ordinary parents: One group believes that ordinary parents do not have professional qualifications and cannot control the compression force well, which may easily break their children’s ribs and cause secondary injuries. It is better to call 120 as soon as possible and wait for professionals to arrive; Nowadays, most of the compliance training will set this part as optional content, and only teach the most basic awareness and breathing judgment methods, and will not force everyone to master the practical operation.

Many people think that this type of training only teaches first aid. In fact, nearly half of the content is about how to "prevent problems before they occur." After all, it is best to avoid injury. For example, in the content for parents of young children, many common misunderstandings are specifically corrected: For example, the soft rubber power strip protective plugs that many people like to buy are more likely to cause throat congestion if children pick them off and put them in their mouths. It is more reliable to directly use power strips with safety doors; and the table corner anti-collision strips must be purchased with strong adhesive force, otherwise children will easily choke if they pull them off and chew on them.

If training is given to school-age children, these overly professional operations will not be taught. They will use sitcoms and simulation games for cognitive enlightenment. For example, playing the "Little Dangerous Detective at Home" game allows the children to point out the risks of the kettle in the kitchen, the anti-theft net on the balcony, and the disinfectant in the bathroom. They will also simulate anti-trafficking scenarios to teach children not to shout "help" when they are pulled by strangers, but to clearly shout "I don't know him, call 110 for me." To put it bluntly, it is to install a built-in safety alarm for children. It is much more effective than adults chasing behind them every day and saying, "Don't touch this, don't go there." There was feedback from a cooperative primary school before. A second-grade child encountered a stranger tugging on his school bag on the way home from school. He hugged the tree on the roadside and shouted in the same way as in class. Within two minutes, he attracted help from a passing aunt, which scared away the stranger.

Nowadays, there are many good and bad trainings on the market. Many online courses for 9.9 yuan only cover the superficial knowledge of Heimlich. Really reliable training will combine local high-frequency risk adjustment content. For example, training in the south will focus on emergency measures to prevent drowning, cryptid insects, etc. Regarding the correct treatment of tick bites, training in the north will focus on the prevention of falls in winter snowy weather and first aid for burns and scalds caused by coal stoves/floor heating. When choosing, you can check whether the content is suitable for your daily life. There is no need to blindly choose expensive courses with high reputations.
