CASE STUDY 1 : FIRST AID AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION.

CHOKING is when your airway gets blocked  and you can't breathe properly.

• STEPS OF FIRST AID TREATMENT TO CHILD IN CASE OF CHOKING

1. Get the Child Into Position

• Hold the child face down on your forearm, supported by your thigh.
• Keep the child's torso higher than the head.

2. Give Forceful Blows

• Use the heel of your free hand to thump the child in between the shoulder blades up to five times.

3. Turn the Child Over

• Turn the child face up, and keep supporting the head and neck. If the object is not out yet, go to step 4.

4. Press the Chest

• Place the child on a firm surface, which may still be your forearm.
• Put two or three fingers in the center of the child's breastbone and push quickly up to five times.
• Repeat the back thumping and chest pushes until the object comes out or the child loses consciousness.

5. Start CPR, If Needed

If the child loses consciousness, perform CPR and take the object out of his mouth.

• IN THIS CASE WE CAN PREVENT BEFORE IT HAPPEN.

The accident (choking child) can be prevent because Choking is a leading cause of injury and death among children, especially those younger than 4 years of age. Moreover, parents also should learn about first aid or CPR to prepare for emergency situation. Also , it's important to make sure the small, hard,round , rubbery or sticky food (candy,gum , etc) shouldn't be given by age 5. When feedings kids this age , we should spread it thinly. Parents also have to supervise eating time their children. It is because a child can choke to death in two of four minutes, so stay within arm's reach. It also , important to make sure the kids sit quietly while eating. 

As parent we need to take care of  about what our children eat or do to 

to avoid unpleasant things happen.
