This post was last edited by *nht1 on 2016-11-1 22:42. It is reported that on a night with strong winds and darkness. It’s so dark that you can’t see your own hands. A hospital in Tokyo. A patient let out a fart during surgery, which happened to be ignited by the laser used by the surgeon performing the operation. It was purely an accident, but the combustible gas formed as a result of that fart burned rapidly, ultimately causing severe burns to the patient. This is simply the icing on the cake for this patient; this surgery is undoubtedly a nightmare. The editor can’t help but marvel that Japan truly must be called a magical **! When this patient underwent surgical treatment, the doctors had to use laser therapy on her abdomen. Unfortunately, just as the doctor was performing the surgery on her, the patient happened to pass gas while the doctor was using the laser. Before one could say anything, it happened quickly. It was of no use for the doctor to dodge at the sound. The strange gas cloud and the laser met in an instant. Immediately, flames shot into the sky and wails filled the air; thus, a disaster ensued… It turned out that the laser ignited the gases released by the patient, causing a fire that set her light blue hospital gown and thighs on fire. She suffered severe burns as a result, but fortunately, thanks to prompt treatment, she was able to survive this disaster. Question 1: What is the composition of this gas, and why does it burn? Question 2: How can we prevent similar incidents from occurring, how can we take precautions? Question 3: How to effectively extinguish a fire on the body, and how to save oneself and others? Question 4: How to rescue burn victims, and how to treat burn wounds? Question 5: Can fire extinguishing equipment be used to put out a fire on the human body? If so, which types are included?
Just saw this – you actually summarized so many issues: 1. Methane, 2. Diet control, 3. Fire fighting
Of course, farts contain methane~ I don’t remember which year it was, but a group of people at that time were advocating that people should stop drinking milk~ Why? This is because the amount of milk consumed determines the number of dairy cows, and when too much cow grass is eaten, waste such as manure and flatulence produces large amounts of methane, thereby increasing the Earth’s greenhouse effect. :L:L
I held it in for too long; the estimate is a bit high
Composition of farts: 59% nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9% carbon dioxide, 7% methane, 4% oxygen. Usually, hydrogen sulfide is also present in farts; it comes mainly from mucus and gives farts their characteristic smell of rotten eggs.
Japanese farts are deadly: lol
That’s more or less what it means, right? . .
Question 1, Answer: I’m not aware. . Question 2: Answer: All activities that could potentially cause fires or explosions require thorough risk analysis and identification of potential hazards. In cases like surgeries, it is necessary to eliminate the dangers associated with such activities, and risk control is achieved through careful analysis; for example, using non-flammable materials for surgical sheets, ensuring good ventilation in the operating room, and implementing fire prevention measures in areas where surgery is performed (especially within the range of laser beams). Question 3: Answer: To extinguish a fire on the body, one can use water jets, mist, or wet blankets; in an emergency, roll on the ground immediately to smother the flames on the body. Question 4: Answer: Transport the injured properly and quickly move them away from areas with high temperatures to a cool and well-ventilated place. Check the condition of the injured person to ensure that there are no ashes or foreign objects blocking the airways and nose; perform CPR if necessary. Cool the burned areas properly and cover them with clean dressings, then wait for professional medical assistance. The stuck clothing cannot be removed, and no medications can be applied. Question 5: Answer: When the human body catches fire, it is best to avoid using fire extinguishers such as carbon dioxide, as a sudden drop in temperature can cause the skin to burst ； Dry powder and foam extinguishing agents can enter the body through damaged skin, causing secondary harm to humans. The best method is to smother the fire using water, wet clothes, fire sand, etc.; in extremely urgent situations such as when the entire body is on fire and the flames are intense, fire extinguishing agents can be used appropriately. My skills are limited; this is for reference only
There should also be hydrogen sulfide or ethanethiol; otherwise, how can one detect whether there is a leak?
Everyone, stop using electricity so that the sun can shine for a longer time.
It’s possible; surgeries are quite stressful, and anxiety and fear can cause one to hold their breath. .
