Terrible accident: baby with serious head injuries to the hospital!

A dramatic incident occurred in Vienna: a two -month -old infant was brought to a hospital with serious head injuries. The child's parents, a 26-year-old father and a 22-year-old mother, provide contradictory information about the injuries. According to the first statements, the five -year -old sister should have fallen over the infant, but medical examinations show that older injuries are available and that the severity of the head injuries cannot be explained with a fall. The Vienna State Criminal Police Office then initiated investigations and the public prosecutor ordered the parents' arrest. Child and youth welfare has already taken care of the siblings of the infant, and the investigation is now also concentrating on whether violence against the other children has occurred, as reported.

In tense situations like this, knowledge of first aid is crucial. A survey among experienced children's emergency doctors shows that many parents are unsure in emergencies and often make mistakes. Dr. med. Annalena and Lukas Dehé, parents and emergency doctors, explain that immediate first aid is essential but is often neglected. For example, many parents cool the child for too long in burns without removing the clothes, which can lead to severe hypothermia. It is right to undress the child immediately and to cool the child with lukewarm water for about 10-15 minutes, such as Parents.de . In addition, the secret maneuver is often applied to toddlers, which can have serious consequences.

parents are encouraged to regularly attend first aid courses in order to be better prepared in critical situations. Mindfulness when observing children to falls and correct reacting to injuries can save lives in an emergency. If serious injuries are suspected, parents should always choose the emergency number and remain in the management in order to be supported by the medical staff. The most important measures in an emergency apply to all parents: Knowledge is power - especially when it comes to the well -being of your own child.
