GANITO ang dapat gawin bilang First Aid sa atake sa Puso:
1. Una sa lahat, tumawag ng doktor o ospital. Ihanda na ang sasakyan para maihatid kaagad sa ospital.
2. Habang naghihintay ng sasakyan, bigyan ng sapat na hangin ang pasyente. Gumamit ng pamaypay, electric fan o aircon. Ito's dahil sa nagkukulang sa oxygen ang puso ng pasyente.
3. Paupuin ang pasyente sa kumportableng silya o k**a. Kailangan mataas ang kanyang upo, mga 45 degrees. Maglagay ng maliit na unan sa ilalim ng paa para kumportable sya.
4. Luwagan ang kanyang damit at necktie para hindi maipit ang ugat sa leeg.
5. Ang layunin natin ay ma-relax ang pasyente. Huwag syang tanunging ng tanungin. Sabihin lang na magpahinga sya, "kami na ang aayos sa mga gawain at problema." Pwedeneg ipikit ang mata at magrelax lang.
6. Sabihan ang pasyente na huminga ng malalim at mabagal, yung tinatawag na deep and slow breathing. Nakakarelax ito at nakakababa ng blood pressure.
7. Kung meron syang maintance na gamot sa puso, ipainom ito.
8. Para sa heart attack, kailangan magbigay ng first aid medicine. Painumin ang pasyente ng isang Aspirin 325mg tablet o 2 tablet ng Aspirin 80mg tablet.
9. Kung marunong kayong kumuha ng blood pressure, i-monitor ang kanyang blood pressure. Binabantayan natin ang biglang pagbagsak ng blood pressure.
10. At siyempre, dalhin kaagad ang pasyente sa Emergency Room ng ospital. Ang mga doktor na ang magsasabi kung ano ang tamang gamutan para sa kanya.
HEART ATTACK: FIRST AID TIPS
By Dr. Willie T. Ong
Did you know that the fastest way to die is from a heart attack? When the heart stops beating, the brain and internal organs die. Hence, we need to act fast if we suspect someone is having a heart attack.
A heart attack occurs when the blood flow that carries oxygen to the heart muscle is blocked because of clogged arteries.
Risk factors for heart disease include an older male (especially fifties and above), a smoker, diabetic, overweight, and has medical conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
The typical symptom of coronary heart disease is a chest discomfort (heaviness) in the mid and lower part of the chest, lasting from 5 to 15 minutes.
First-Aid For A Heart Attack:
If you suspect someone is having a heart attack, consider doing the following:
1. Call the doctor or hospital for an ambulance. Bring the patient to the nearest Emergency Room immediately.
2. While waiting for help to arrive, give the patient enough oxygen. Use an electric fan or air conditioning.
3. Sit the patient comfortably in a 45 degree angle. Rest the feet on a footstool.
4. Loosen tight clothing. Remove neckties and loosen belts and pants.
5. Keep the patient relaxed. Reassure the patient that help is on the way.
6. To calm the patient, you can instruct him to breathe slowly and deeply.
7. If the patient has maintenance medicines, like for chest pain, then have the patient take it. The generic names include nitroglycerine, isosorbide dinitrate and isosorbide mononitrate.
8. The best first-aid medicine for a heart attack is Aspirin 325 mg tablet or 2 tablets of aspirin 80 mg tablet. This can help stabilize the blood clot inside the heart’s arteries.
9. If you know how, you can monitor the blood pressure and heart rate of the patient.
10. Finally, bring the patient to a hospital quickly for further treatment and observation. It’s the safest place for the patient.
