When looking up at the clothing wholesale market building outside, Xie Wanying was on several floors.
When the firefighters confirmed that the building really only had seven floors, she thought that if she ran to the rooftop from the fourth floor, there would only be three or four flights of stairs to climb. The junior sisters should have been running to the rooftop very quickly, but for some reason the news of their arrival on the rooftop was delayed.
This cast an unpredictable shadow over her mind.
Relatives and friends are trapped inside. They cannot and cannot get in. They are helpless and anxious outside.
Calm down. Calm down. She could only say this to herself, patiently waiting for the good news from the firefighters and junior sister, turned around, and Xie Wanying walked to the ambulance.
As mentioned before, most of the lightly injured people who were able to walk in the first wave walked away on their own. Later, they slowly came out on their own or were rescued, or they were unable to walk on their own and needed help. It is conceivable that the severity of this injury will be all-round. It's not light.
Two ambulances, one of which raised its siren, quickly sent the seriously injured person back to the hospital for rescue.
The doctors at Pinghuai Hospital were delayed because of the episode of jumping off a building, and they had to bring another seriously injured person back to the hospital at any time.
A scene without an ambulance will become an emergency vacuum until other ambulances arrive. After discussing with the doctors at his hospital, Cao Dong immediately unloaded some of the emergency supplies on the ambulance so that other medical staff staying at the scene could help initially treat the injuries.
Xie Wanying quickly joined the first aid team of her senior brothers and teachers.
The first thing that medical staff on site should do, just like the last accident, is to make a first diagnosis and prioritize the patient's condition.
Fire accident casualties are basically inseparable from burn injuries.
First, let’s look at the classification of burn wounds. They are generally divided into four levels according to depth: first degree, second degree, third degree and fourth degree.
The simplest and most intuitive way to define these degrees is to observe the burnt skin surface.
The injured person's skin only showed first-degree erythema, which was the mildest injury and could heal in a few days.
Blisters on the wound surface are classified as second degree, which are subdivided into shallow second degree and deep second degree.
Three or four degrees directly burned and discolored the injured person's skin.
If you ask the injured person how they feel, severe burns such as third and fourth degree burn through the nerves, and they must have lost the pain sensation in the wound.
The above is a deep classification. To classify the severity of the injury, it needs to be comprehensively judged based on the patient's general condition. One of the most important reference factors for doctors is the burn area.
The burn area is estimated in China using the nine-point method. For example, the head, face and neck together account for 9% of the human body surface area, and the lower limbs account for up to 46%.
Based on the burn area, burns can be divided into mild, moderate, severe, and extremely severe burns. If the third-degree burn area reaches more than 20%, it is considered a severe burn.
In fact, the most terrifying form of burn injury is inhalation injury. In this case, it seems that the body surface has not been burned by the fire, and there may be no burn wounds on the body surface. Therefore, as long as the injured person inhales harmful gases and becomes a fire lung, endangering the injured person's life, it will still be considered a severe burn.
I saw a firefighter carrying an injured person on his back. There was no blood or wounds on his skin, but he could not move and needed someone to carry him.
"Found at the back door, lying motionless on the ground," the firefighter said.
This situation does not seem to require a doctor's judgment. Firefighters know from experience that 99% of cases are caused by carbon monoxide poisoning.
The doctor squatted down and examined the injured carefully.
