Fundamentals of First Aid (OPMP)

With a stomach ulcer, duodenal ulcer and some other diseases of the stomach, as well as with varicose veins of the esophagus, vomiting often occurs in the color of coffee grounds, meat slops, dark clots, and sometimes uncurled bright blood. Vomiting blood can be single, a small amount and multiple, abundant, life-threatening patient.

Evidence

With gastric bleeding, blood is released with vomit, its color is changed. In some cases, blood from the stomach and duodenum enters the intestine and is detected only by the presence of black, tarry stools. With heavy bleeding, there are signs of acute anemia: dizziness, weakness, pallor, fainting, weakening and increased heart rate.

First aid

The patient is subject to immediate hospitalization (in the surgical department). Before transporting the patient, complete rest is required, giving a lying position, prohibition of any movements, placing an ice pack on the epigastric region. You should not feed the patient, but you can give teaspoons of cold jelly. Transportation is carried out in a supine position on a stretcher with great care, even if hematemesis has stopped; in a state of collapse, measures are taken at the scene, until the patient leaves a serious condition.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Psychological preparation of parents will help their children 20.02.2013

A XNUMX-year study has proven that parenting training will be the key to preventing emotional disorders in children. The results of one of the oldest studies in the field of preventing childhood depression have been summed up. Scientists have evaluated the long-term effects of early intervention to prevent neurological disorders in children.

The study was led by Dr. Ron Rapey, director of the Center for Mental Health at Macquarie University (Sydney, Australia). He made a report on the program of psychological prevention among parents of preschool children. The results showed that, in general, children whose parents participated in the prevention program were less prone to such nervous disorders as anxiety and depression.

"Most of the preventive programs aimed at developing the psychology of school-age children are implemented at school. However, our studies have shown that it is necessary to work with parents and do this before the child first begins to show signs of anxiety. Only such work can give a good result," says Dr. Rapey. The study provides convincing evidence of the correctness of the scientist's opinion. "Over the past 10 years, the number of preventive programs aimed at preventing anxiety in children has increased significantly. Given the low cost of such interventions and their excellent results, it can be argued that they are quite promising," sums up Dr. Reypi.
