Medical Video: 6 Ways Bohemian Rhapsody IGNORED Queen's TRUE STORY!
Did you know that the various medical procedures and first aid that you have seen on television, both films and soap operas, are not all true? In fact, most of the procedures you see on a glass screen are actually wrong. Actually, everyone needs to know how to do first aid if an emergency occurs. So, you have to know which are the right and wrong first aid actions.
1. First aid pulls out a knife or stabbed wood
Various scenes on the glass screen often display scenes of violence that lead to stabbing various parts of the body or the release of arrows that end up nesting in certain body parts. Not infrequently, you see the victim easily pulling a knife or arrow lodged in his body and returning to continue fighting and warfare. So, is it medically safe?
Dr. Troy Madsen, a doctor at the emergency department at Utah Hospital University, stated that when a knife is pierced either on the chest, neck, stomach, or other body parts, don't take the initiative to pull it out.
Because the knife or arrow that pierces certain parts of the body usually in a few moments will make a blood clot around it. So, if you pull it out right away this will make the blood clot loose and heavy bleeding can occur.
In addition, you also don't know whether the body parts that are pierced close to the blood vessels are large enough or not. Therefore, it is better to immediately come to the nearest hospital and let the doctor do it.
2. First aid for cardiac arrest
First aid for those who experience cardiac arrest is to give them CPR or cardiac resuscitation. Adega CPR on glass screens is almost all wrong, especially the technique. In a western film played by James Cameron, the mistake of giving CPR was even repeated.
CPR or heart and lung resuscitation is basically a life-saving technique that is used in emergencies such as when a person experiences a cardiac arrest or drowns. This technique is done to restore the heart rate back to normal and keep blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until the victim gets medical treatment.
In this film, the CPR technique is performed randomly on the chest with bent arms and giving mouth-to-mouth breathing arbitrarily. Even in a scene, the savior only tries to give several times chest compressions and gives up afterwards.
In the medical world, proper CPR is given by placing one of the palms in the middle of the chest, which is between the two nipples. The other palm is placed right above the other hand.
Keep your arms straight and position your shoulders parallel to your hands. Then use the upper body weight to press the chest 5-7 cm deep. Press strong and fast strong at a rate of about 100 times compression per 1 minute. Usually, medical personnel will do this until the heartbeat reappears.
The complexity of this CPR technique makes it impossible for anyone to do it. False, rather than saving, you are actually taking the victim in danger that can be life threatening.
3. Put the spoon in the mouth of the person who has a seizure
Putting a spoon in the mouth of a seizure is a common myth that is often heard and even exhibited in a television program as a form of first aid. This is intended to prevent people who experience seizures from biting their tongues.
Therefore, the spoon tucked in the mouth aims to prevent the patient from doing so. In fact, according to Sallie Baxendale, PhD, a neuropsychological consultant at the Department of Clinical & Experimental Epilepsy at the Institute of Neurology in London, this is very dangerous.
In fact the patient can actually bite hard the object inserted into his mouth including the spoon. This can actually lead to trauma to the teeth which will have a negative effect on dental health later.
Baxendale says the right way to provide first aid to people who are seizures is to tilt the person's body to the right or left so that saliva is not inhaled and enters the airway. Never put any object into his mouth including a spoon because it is very dangerous and can even close the airway.
4. Use of the wrong pacemaker
A very clear medical procedure error also occurs in the use of a defibrillator. Have you ever seen the use of a defibrillator in films or even soap operas? Its use is usually done when the heart stops beating or is indicated by a straight line on the screen. This is clearly very wrong and confuses laymen's understanding of actual medical procedures.
A defibrillator or stun device is a device designed to give high-energy electric shock through the chest wall to the heart whose irregular pulse can return to normal.
This tool is usually used to treat heart problems which results in rapid and irregular beats instead of reviving dead heart activity as shown on the glass screen. Proper treatment when the heart condition stops beating (marked with a straight line on the screen) is by means of cardiac pulmonary resuscitation and intravenous drug administration.
The various medical procedures and first aid errors that you often see on the screen turn out to be things you should not imitate. Always consult a doctor and go to the nearest hospital if you experience medical problems that require immediate help.
