There are six "vital points" on a man's body

Men's lives are tough, but also fragile. In the face of accidental injuries, our flesh and blood are often "vulnerable". So, which parts are fatal? Once an accident occurs, how can we "save our lives"?

1. Taiyang Point

This is the weakest part of the skull, with the thinnest bone plate thickness of only 1-2 mm. There is a middle cerebral artery below the temple. If it is hit violently, it is easy to cause blood vessels to rupture and bleed, causing intracranial hematoma and causing the person to fall into a coma. Surgery should be performed immediately after the injury, otherwise it may be fatal.

Common injuries: car accidents, beatings, falls, smashes, collisions, etc.

Protective measures: When an earthquake or stampede occurs, first protect the head and neck, cover your temples with one hand, protect your cervical spine from behind with the other hand, and clamp your elbows forward to protect your face. At the same time, bend your body into a "baby shape" to provide some cushioning effect. This is also the posture to protect other parts of the head.

2. Back of the head

The brain stem is responsible for maintaining heartbeat, breathing, digestion, body temperature, sleep and other important physiological functions. It can be said to be the "center of life". The skull at the back of the head is relatively weak. If it is severely injured, it can also cause fatal intracranial hematoma.

Common injuries: car accidents, beatings, falls, smashes, falls, etc.

Protective measures: The brain is an extremely important organ in the human body. Lack of oxygen for 4 minutes can cause brain cell death. Therefore, when going out for a walk, activity, or play, you should try to stay away from high-rise buildings and avoid walking or staying under steep cliffs to prevent being injured by falling objects or rolling rocks. The protective posture is the same as the previous one.

If you are unfortunately injured in the head, you must go to the hospital as soon as possible to do a head CT scan to rule out intracranial hemorrhage. Some patients with head trauma will wake up after a short coma and then fall into a coma again. This may be a precursor to intracranial hemorrhage; some head traumas do not have epidermal injuries, but you should not take it lightly and seek medical attention in time. Otherwise, once intracranial hemorrhage occurs, it will be too late to go to the hospital.

3. Cervical vertebra

This is the most vulnerable nerve center "corridor" in the human body. Once severely damaged, it can be fatal. According to statistics, the mortality rate of cervical vertebrae injury complicated with spinal cord injury can reach 15%-20%. Especially high cervical vertebrae fractures can easily cause respiratory and cardiac arrest. In addition, tracheal injury can easily cause suffocation; injury to the carotid artery next to the Adam's apple can easily lead to death due to excessive blood loss.

Common injuries: car accidents, knife wounds, falls, sports injuries, etc. Parallel bars, skating, skateboarding, diving, dancing, etc. are more likely to injure the cervical spine.

Protective measures: Every summer, swimmers often suffer cervical fractures due to their heads hitting obstacles while diving. Therefore, you should not dive into waters that you are not familiar with or where diving is prohibited.

Once an accidental injury to the cervical spine occurs, the patient should be laid flat on the ground, and the head and neck should be fixed as much as possible. Do not let them move, and do not massage them at will to prevent nerve damage. If breathing difficulties occur, the oral contents must be cleared immediately, the airway must be kept open, and artificial respiration must be performed.

4. Limb arteries

The brachial artery in the upper arm and the femoral artery in the thigh are both located in the superficial part of the body. They are not only easy to be injured, but also easy to cause death due to excessive bleeding. If the amount of bleeding exceeds 30% of the human body's blood volume, it can be life-threatening.

Common injuries: car accidents, knife wounds, etc.

Protective measures: If a large wound occurs, first press the pulsation point on the artery closer to the heart to quickly stop the bleeding, then quickly find a clean towel, handcuffs, gauze, etc. and press them hard on the wound. If the bleeding still does not stop, use a bandage, handcuffs, towels, etc. as a tourniquet to tighten the limb above the wound. Chen Zhi reminded that if the upper limb is injured, the tourniquet can only be used on the upper 1/3 and lower 1/3 of the upper arm, and cannot be used to tighten the middle of the upper arm or the forearm; the tourniquet should not be used continuously for more than 1 hour, and it should be loosened for 1-5 minutes every hour.

5. Heart

As the power source of blood supply to the human body, the heart pushes blood to flow and provides sufficient blood flow to organs and tissues. If penetrating trauma or violent blow occurs, it may cause massive bleeding or cardiac arrest, and the victim will die quickly.

Common injuries: car accidents, gunshot wounds, knife wounds, martial arts, free fighting, etc.

Protective measures: After severe heart damage, the victim will experience symptoms such as fainting, limb convulsions, cardiac arrest, pulse loss, and respiratory arrest. In the above cases, call emergency services as soon as possible and start cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately. If a sharp object is inserted into the body, do not pull it out. Fix the foreign object first, and then bandage the wound with a clean towel, cotton pad, etc.

6. Kidneys

The two kidneys are located on both sides of the lumbar spine, which is commonly known as the lower back. The kidneys are easily injured. If the injury is severe, it can cause the kidney to rupture, causing massive bleeding, shock, and even death.

Common injuries: car accidents, falls, sports injuries, falls, etc. Some elderly people may fall and hit their lower backs on hard objects, which may also cause death due to kidney rupture.

Protective measures: It is very important for the elderly to prevent falls. The floor at home should not be too slippery, there should be no electric wires, and the furniture should be arranged as far away from sharp corners as possible. The elderly should walk with small steps, and should not stand up or sit down too quickly; they should strengthen their lower limb strength and try not to go out on rainy or snowy days. If the elderly fall and injure their lower back, they should go to the hospital for examination immediately.

In addition to the heart and kidneys, other internal organs can also be fatal if they are severely damaged. For example, if the lungs are injured, the chest cavity may be filled with air, forming a tension pneumothorax, which can cause death. Although the liver and spleen are protected by the ribs, they are also easily injured because the ribs are relatively fragile. Once injured and ruptured, it is easy to cause massive bleeding in the abdominal cavity, and the victim may die from excessive blood loss.

Therefore, when encountering a major collision such as a car accident, you should breathe with your mouth open, not holding your breath with your mouth closed. If the victim has an open wound on the chest and has difficulty breathing, quickly seal the wound with airtight materials such as plastic sheeting or plastic wrap, flatten the edges, and prevent air from entering the chest cavity. Chen Zhi reminded that massive abdominal bleeding caused by internal organ injury may not be visible on the outside, so if the ribs are injured, go to the hospital immediately for treatment and have an examination to rule out the possibility of internal bleeding.

It is especially pointed out that no matter what kind of accident happens, you should first call the emergency number while ensuring your own safety, and then perform first aid while waiting. If it is an external injury, the first step of emergency rescue is to stop the life-threatening bleeding; the second is to open the airway and maintain effective breathing, and artificial respiration can be performed when necessary; the third is to ensure the blood supply to important organs such as the brain and heart. For patients in shock, the injured can lie flat and raise their lower limbs to promote blood return in the lower limb veins. It is particularly important to note that if there is suspected spinal injury, it is necessary to prevent secondary injuries caused by improper transportation.

There are indeed 6 "vital roots" in a man's body. In fact, these are some important organs in a man's body. These organs are all related to a man's life, so they must be protected at ordinary times. Of course, when these organs are hit, our health will inevitably be harmed, and at this time we must take emergency measures to properly deal with it.
