Child Safety and First Aid Yin Ke

When people search for "child safety and first aid Yin Ke", what they are looking for is actually the family-oriented child safety protection + first aid science popularization system that Yin Ke, a former pediatric emergency physician, has polished for 6 years. The greatest value of this set of content is that it breaks down the extremely high threshold of clinical first aid knowledge into practical methods that ordinary parents can learn in 10 minutes and dare to use in case of trouble.

Speaking of Yin Ke’s original intention of doing science popularization, it actually came from the most regrettable case in his emergency room career: During his 12-year emergency room career, he encountered a 2-year-old boy who choked in his airway while eating peanuts. The parents were afraid that they would injure the child by slapping him randomly, so they held the baby and waited for 20 minutes. When the baby was delivered, the child had already fallen into an irreversible coma due to cerebral hypoxia. “I stood in the emergency room for half an hour that day, and suddenly I felt that no matter how many people I saved in the operating room, it would be better to let the parents do the right thing in the first minute of the accident." He later mentioned this matter in his offline get out of class, and several parents in the audience became red-eyed.

I saw a real example in the group of mothers last year: a mother in Hangzhou took her baby to the supermarket. The baby grabbed a box of blueberries and stuffed them in his mouth. When he ran away, he choked on the blueberries. His face turned purple instantly and he couldn't speak. She had watched Yin Ke's short videos before, and had no other thoughts in her mind. She followed the "0-1 year old patting back and pressing chest" method taught by him while holding the baby. She took out half a blueberry in 15 seconds. Later, she went to the hospital to check if anything was wrong. She later said in the group that her hands were shaking badly at the time, but she remembered what Yin Ke said, "Don't panic, take action first, it's better than anything else."

In fact, not just ordinary parents, many kindergartens and community first aid courses are now using Yin Ke’s courseware. The most special thing about him is that he always makes "subtractions" when doing popular science: without talking about airway obstruction grading, burn and scald grading, which are terms that ordinary parents cannot understand, the Heimlich method is divided into two versions for 0-1 years old and over 1 year old, with a maximum of three steps. ； When dealing with burns and scalds, the advice is: "Rush with cold water for 15 minutes, don't apply toothpaste or soy sauce, and go directly to the hospital."” ； If you have a nosebleed, please "lower your head and pinch your nose for 10 minutes, don't raise your head and don't stuff the paper". Even an old man with a bad memory can remember it almost exactly after listening to it once. His content is not only about first aid afterward, but also about safety reminders. Previously, he showed the X-ray of a case in which he accidentally swallowed magnetic beads in the emergency room. Three magnetic beads were sucked together in the intestines and pierced four holes. The child had to undergo two surgeries before and after to save the intestines. There were tens of thousands of comments under that video saying, "I immediately threw away the magnetic beads at home after watching this."

However, there have been different voices in the industry regarding his popular science content. Many experienced clinical experts believe that ordinary people without professional qualifications may cause secondary injuries if they perform the Heimlich maneuver incorrectly. For example, incorrect force in the Heimlich maneuver may cause rib fractures. Therefore, parents are advised to call 120 immediately and not to move their children at will. Yin Ke himself responded to this controversy head-on: "The golden first aid time for children with airway obstruction is only 4-6 minutes, and the average arrival time of 120 in most cities in China is 15 minutes. I can't afford to wait. The science popularization I give parents gives priority to covering 99% of ordinary scenarios. Even if the rules for handling extreme special situations are written down, ordinary parents will not be able to distinguish them and will be confused. It is better to do the most useful things right first. Even if there is a one-in-10,000 chance of bruising the skin or nicking the ribs, it is better than leaving the sequelae of suffocation in the baby. ”To be honest, I still remember this sentence. I have seen too many cases where things were delayed due to hesitation, so I know how true this sentence is.

I also bought two thick children's first aid guides before. After flipping through them twice, they were stuffed on the bookshelf and gathering dust. There were so many technical terms that I couldn't remember to read them when I encountered an emergency. Until I came across Yin Ke's video, he demonstrated to the simulation doll, his movements were very rough, and he would complain to the camera, "I know some people say that my movements are not standard, but if you just do it, it is more useful than memorizing a textbook for half an hour." I still have short videos of his three core operations in the photo album of my mobile phone. The baby is 3 years old. Although I haven't used it yet, I feel at ease having it.

I went to attend his offline charity lecture last month. At the end, a 60-year-old grandma held his hand and refused to let go. She said that her grandson choked on a tomato last year and it was filmed according to the method in his video. Yin Ke smiled and waved his hands and said, "You don't need to remember that my name is Yin Ke. Remember, don't panic when you encounter trouble. Just reach out when you know how to reach out." At the end of the day, I saw a lanyard with a pediatric hospital employee badge hanging on his schoolbag. Although he had been out of clinical practice for several years, he still didn't take it off.
