What are the first aid methods for coma

First, when the patient is in a coma, he should immediately lower his head and turn his head to one side to facilitate salivary outflow. If the patient's tongue is retracted, use gauze to pull the tongue out. The comatose patient can't swallow, so don't give throat water or medicine to the mouth. Keep respiratory tract unobstructed. To untie the collar button of the patient, if there is secretion in the mouth and nose of the patient, it should be pulled out and sputum should be sucked in time.

Second: protect your eyes. If the patient's eyes are not closed properly, apply eye ointment, and wet the eyes with sterile gauze or clean handkerchief to prevent corneal damage. Prevent pneumonia and bedsores. This is a very important aspect of nursing comatose patients at home, which must not be ignored. Because the comatose patient does not know the activity and does not respond to the stimulation of the outside world, it is necessary to cover the patient well, keep warm, avoid catching cold, turn over every 2-3 hours, and gently pat the patient's back to discharge the sputum in time.

Third: send to the hospital in time. Because there are many reasons for coma, the rescue and treatment of coma are also very complex, so don't miss the rescue opportunity at home. It's better to call an ambulance and send it to the hospital as soon as possible to confirm the diagnosis and carry out rescue and treatment for the cause as soon as possible. Keep the airway unblocked, press the forehead to lift the chin, open the airway and remove the obstruction in the mouth.
