Due to the weakening of muscle strength, the coordination and stability of walking gait of the elderly are reduced, and it is easy to fall in daily life. During the Spring Festival, some elderly people are still recovering from COVID-19 infection, and they are relatively weak. In addition, they may be more excited. More attention should be paid to avoiding falls.

Don't rush to pick up the old man after he falls, but distinguish the situation and deal with it differently. Also, do not easily move, shake or try to wake the fallen person to avoid aggravating the injury. If the old man is not conscious after falling, he should immediately call the emergency telephone and take appropriate emergency measures. First move the elderly to a safe environment, and immediately implement cardiopulmonary resuscitation in case of respiratory and cardiac arrest; If there is obvious trauma and bleeding, immediately press and stop bleeding and bandage the wound; If the old man suffers from head injury, ear and nose bleeding, or suspected skull base fracture, he should lie down quietly and keep the respiratory tract unobstructed.

If the old man is conscious after falling, his family should comfort the old man, carefully ask the specific process of the old man's injury and his current discomfort, observe the injured part and whether there is bleeding, check the old man's trunk and limbs, and preliminarily determine whether there is fracture.
