When learning to cook, the beasts are not afraid of burning the bottom of the pot, but are afraid of scalding themselves! Get these first aid skills

Starting from September this year, the Ministry of Education requires primary and secondary school students to start learning cooking!

Recently, the Ministry of Education officially issued the "Compulsory Education Curriculum Plan", which completely separated labor from the original comprehensive practical activity curriculum, and released the "Compulsory Education Labor Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition)".

This means that starting from the beginning of school this fall, labor classes will officially become an independent course in primary and secondary schools.

In response to this, many netizens born in the 1970s and 1980s said: The labor class from many years ago is back now!

The new labor course content includes ten task groups, including daily life labor, production labor, and service labor. Among them, the most eye-catching one is "Cooking and Nutrition".

According to the requirements, no matter your pet is a first or second grader or a junior high school student in his teens, he must learn some simple skills, especially starting from the third or fourth grade, he must learn cooking techniques such as steaming and boiling.

Seeing this, parents can't help but worry. When it comes to using fire and boiling water, adults are sometimes inevitably injured. What if children get scalded or burned?

Next, we will provide parents, teachers, and even children with first aid skills for scalds and burns.

Mastering the essential first aid skills can save your life at critical moments!

01

First aid for burns

If you are accidentally scalded by a high-temperature object (such as a hot pot lid), hot steam, or hot liquid (such as boiling water or hot oil), you can follow the steps below:

Identifying symptoms

If the skin is slightly red or swollen, with obvious burning sensation, and may be accompanied by a single blister (first-degree burn, shallow second-degree burn), it can be judged as a mild burn;

The skin may become red and swollen, and there may be severe pain, or the pain may disappear and be accompanied by a large number of blisters. There may also be manifestations such as eschar or pale skin (deep second-degree burns, third-degree burns), which are severe burns.

Emergency treatment methods

Remove jewelry: quickly remove restrictive items such as watches and gloves; clothes soaked in hot liquid can be rinsed with cold water and then cut open and removed. (If it is difficult to take off, you can directly cool it down)

Local cooling: Use cold water to continuously flush the scalded area for more than 10 minutes. Be careful not to use too much water to avoid aggravating skin damage. If the restrictive items are difficult to take off, soak the injured limb in cold water for more than 10 minutes; if the area cannot be flushed with water, use a wet towel to apply it.

When cooling down, be careful not to soak for too long, and wait until the pain disappears to avoid frostbite. When the pain is significantly relieved, if it is a mild burn, there is no need to bandage it; if it is a serious burn, use gauze or a clean towel to gently cover the burn surface to protect the wound. After the treatment is completed, go to the hospital immediately for medical treatment.

Special Tips

❶Do not use ice water to rinse or soak the scalded area;

❷ If there are blisters on the burn, do not prick them to avoid infection;

❸Do not apply toothpaste, sesame oil, etc. on the burn area. This practice will not only fail to relieve symptoms, but may also cause infection;

First aid for burns

If you find someone with burns, here are some things to do:

Ask and check

Ask about the situation and, after ensuring the surroundings are safe, check for local injuries:

If the skin surface is erythematous, red, swollen, dry, and has a burning sensation, but there is no skin damage, it is a first-degree burn;

If the skin has blisters, obvious local redness and swelling, and severe pain, it is a second-degree burn;

If the skin becomes leathery, pale, or has black scabs, it is a third-degree burn.

At the same time, observe whether the patient has symptoms such as irritability, thirst, etc. (If the situation is serious, call the emergency number 120 in time).

Emergency treatment methods

The burn treatment method needs to follow the order of "flushing, removing, and covering":

Flushing: Use plenty of room temperature water (ice water is strictly prohibited, tap water, mineral water, etc. can be used) to continuously flush the wound for at least 10 minutes. The sooner the flushing, the better, to avoid further aggravation of the injury.

Take off restraints: Remove clothing or restrictive items such as watches and belts on the burned area, and continue to rinse for 20 minutes. If the injured person shivers during the rinse, stop immediately to avoid other adverse conditions.

Covering: In general, the wound does not need to be bandaged, just keep it clean and seek medical treatment. If the environment is bad, you can gently cover the wound with plastic wrap to protect it, but do not apply pressure to the wound to avoid secondary injury.

Special Tips

❶ Before rescuing, first confirm whether the on-site environment is safe. If there is an electrical burn, cut off the power supply first, and if there is a fire burn, leave the fire scene as soon as possible;

❷Never apply toothpaste, sesame oil or other items on the wound to avoid infection;

❸Do not apply ice directly to the wound to avoid damaging the skin.

The above are all very practical first aid methods. I hope everyone can master and spread them to help more people in need~
