Providing first aid in case of poisoning

Fundamentals of First Aid (OPMP)

Poisoning household chemicals. After a strong acid or alkali enters the body, it is urgent to call an ambulance. Immediately remove saliva and mucus from the mouth. If there are signs of suffocation, apply mouth-to-nose artificial respiration. When vomiting, it is strictly forbidden to wash the stomach, as acid or alkali can enter the respiratory tract. This procedure can only be performed by a healthcare professional. The victim is given 2-3 glasses of water to drink. Never attempt to neutralize toxic liquids. This leads to the formation of carbon dioxide, distension of the stomach, increased pain and bleeding. With the development of suffocation, the victim should be urgently sent by any transport to a medical institution.

In case of poisoning with household chemicals (not containing acid or alkali), before the doctor arrives, the patient should be vomited (if he is conscious). Unconscious patients should be laid so that their head is lowered and turned to one side so that the contents of the stomach do not enter the respiratory way. In case of retraction of the tongue, convulsions, when the jaws are tightly closed, gently tilt the head back and push the lower jaw forward and upward to ensure breathing through the nose.

In case of poisoning sleeping pills or sedatives (sedative) the victim should be laid down, raising his head. Rinse the stomach with 1-2 liters of water, induce vomiting by pressing on the root of the tongue. Then give strong tea to drink, eat 100 g of black crackers. You can't give milk. It accelerates the entry of the poisoning drug into the intestines and prevents its removal from the body.

An unconscious patient is strictly forbidden to wash the stomach. Water can be inhaled and cause death by suffocation. If the victim is not breathing or his breathing is oppressed, it is necessary to perform artificial respiration.

In case of poisoning alcohol the victim needs to inhale vapors of ammonia, give 3-4 glasses of water to drink (with the addition of 1 tsp of baking soda per glass), induce vomiting, drink strong tea or coffee.

In case of poisoning methyl alcohol or ethylene glycol, it is necessary to give 100-150 ml of ethyl alcohol (vodka) to drink if the victim is conscious, since it is an antidote, it slows down the breakdown of methyl alcohol.

In case of poisoning mushroom take the patient to the hospital immediately. Before the arrival of the doctor, rinse the stomach with a soda solution or a solution of potassium permanganate, and the intestines - using laxatives (castor oil, bitter salt), make an enema. The patient is given salted water to drink.

In case of poisoning andinhaled chlorophos or karbofos take the patient out into the air, remove contaminated clothing, wash exposed areas of the body with water.

If swallowed pesticide do a gastric lavage 4-5 times: give 3-4 glasses of salted water to drink and induce vomiting. Then take a laxative - 1 tbsp. l. bitter salt. It is very good to take 5-6 tablets of besalol or becarbonate orally.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Smart ballpoint pen for handwriting digitization 01.05.2016

The French company Oree is known for its unusual products, such as the Oree Wooden Keyboard, a wooden wireless charger for smartphones with a built-in speaker system, and a wooden trackpad. This time, the Oree range has been replenished with a premium smart pen, which, in tandem with a special notepad, can not only write on paper, but also automatically duplicate, transferring data to a mobile device, everything “written with a pen”.

The body of the device, called the Stylograph, is made of copper, and visually it resembles a thickened ballpoint pen, which is based on ordinary ink. The elegant minimalist design and copper frame immediately hint at the rather high cost of the product, which, when using a branded notebook, will relay - digitize - your sketches, drawings and notes straight into the mobile application. The "chip" of the Oree Stylograph is the ability to preserve the tactile sensation of writing with ink on paper, while creating a copy of the handwritten material in electronic format.

As for the notebook, it is a notebook with 190 pages of A5 format, made in a traditional form factor. The accessory accessory costs $25, but the Stylograph turns out to be useless without it: the notepad uses mineral paper, on which the pen leaves barely noticeable traces. The principle of operation of the device implies that traces (prints) from a rod with a working surface of 0,7 mm will be recorded by a high-speed camera mounted in the handle. The built-in battery should last for two days of operation in moderate mode.

Data transfer from the smart pen is carried out via a Bluetooth connection with smartphones/tablets based on Android/iOS or Windows PC. The cost of new items is as much as $ 300, to which you will have to add $ 25 for a complete notebook. With this pricing, the only good thing is that the Stylograph uses a D1 type core, which can be easily replaced with a new one at any time.
