What is electric shock

When the body is and the power of direct contact, current through the body, resulting in the injury known as electric shock. According to the current length of voltage and contact, of the extent of the injury can be a minor injury, can also be a serious injury until death.
Young children, especially children learning the most injury-prone, because they will bite electric wire, and insert the forks, knives and other metal objects without a socket or of the protection of electrical equipment. Incorrect use of electric toys, electrical appliances or tools, in children or when you contact current sitting or standing in water, electrical injury can also occur.
What you should do
If a child with electrical contact, you should first cut off the power. In most cases, you can pull the plug, or turn off the switch. If it is not possible to do so, the attempt to remove the required installations-but not with your bare hand contact, doing so can also cause your own shock. Instead, you can use an axe with a wooden handle, or good insulating wire and cut wires, or use a dry wooden stick, rolled up magazines and newspapers, rope, clothing or other thick dry insulation (for example wood) pulling the wires.
If you can\'t cut off the power, try away children. When still children when handling power, even with bare hand contact with the child, because his body current conduction to you. Instead, remove child, you can use conductive materials (such as rubber or something mentioned above) to protect themselves (Note: when power is not cut off, all the material can guarantee absolute safety).
Once the current is cut off (or once the child is removed), immediately check your child\'s pulse, respiration, skin color, or reaction capability. If breathing stops or cardiac arrest, or irregular beating faster, CPR immediately, while others call for 120. At the same time avoid the child does not need to move, because serious shock may be associated with spinal fractures.
If the child has a perception, and a slight shock, check the burn of the skin, especially when the mouth is a current point of entry, should be even more so. Then phone the doctor. Electric shock can cause no professional know it is hard to find internal organ damage and, therefore, all those who have children with apparent electric shock must be examined by a doctor.
In the doctor\'s Office, should be thoroughly clean electricity burns caused by, and use the dressing dressing. Laboratory of Doctor appointments need to be checked to identify signs of visceral injury. If a child signs of serious burns or heart, brain injury, you will need hospital treatment.
Prevention
Electrical injury prevention is the best way of covering all the socket, ensure that all reasonable insulation wire as well as children in potentially where the injury occurred while playing for meticulous care. Small appliances around the bathroom and bathtub are particularly dangerous.
Fingertip injury

These doors are usually turned off in the parents do not know the little finger is also at risk, children may be unaware of the potential danger, may also be because not enough fast to remove his hand. Young children playing with a hammer or other bulky thing, may also struck the injured finger.
Due to the sensitive fingertips, at the time of child\'s finger injury, you will know immediately. Damage usually bluing swelling, skin surrounded by a cut and bleeding. Subcutaneous tissue below the nail bed, and the potential growth of bone and may also be affected, in case of bleeding under the nail, nail will become black, purple, hemorrhagic oppression led to severe pain.
Family therapy
When the fingertips bleed, washing with SOAP and water first, then covered with soft sterile gauze. Use ice packs or immersion in cold water to relieve pain, reduce swelling.
If the swelling slightly, children would not be very hard, you can wait for the automatic healing injuries. However, guard against injury of regional pain, swelling, redness, and drainage increases, 24-72 or injuries hours later began to heat.
When excessive swelling, cutting a deep, like fracture bleeding under the nail, or fingers, like to see a doctor. Absolutely not allowed to own finger fractures.
