A small carelessness can lead to death, recently two such cases have come to light in which children lost their lives due to being locked in the car. Have you ever wondered how life can be lost due to being locked in a car? Actually, when any child gets locked in the car and remains locked in the car for several hours, during this time poisonous gas starts forming in the car. Due to this gas, suffocation occurs and life is lost. In such a situation, the question arises that how can this be avoided?
Even if you leave your child in the car, you should keep some important things in mind. Such as keep the car window slightly open So that fresh air from outside keeps coming inside the car so that the child does not suffocate. Apart from this, if for some reason you have to leave the child in the car, then leave with AC on So that the child does not suffocate.
Teach important things to the child
If your child is old enough to learn a new thing, then you should teach the child what to do if the car gets locked and the child is alone. You should always keep a hammer in the car and tell the child that if he ever gets locked in the car, he should break the glass with the hammer to come out.
Teach your child to make a call from a mobile so that if your child ever gets locked in the car and the phone is lying in the car, the child knows how to make a call. Make the child remember your parents’ number and always keep a copy and pen in the car or write your phone number on a paper. Explain to the child that if they ever get locked, they should write help on paper and put it on the mirror so that anyone passing by can know that the child is inside.
Dr. Bhagwan Mantri, a pulmonologist in Delhi, says that when there is a lack of oxygen in the air inside the vehicle and harmful gases like carbon monoxide (CO) increase, death can occur. If all the doors and windows of the vehicle are closed then air circulation is not possible in the vehicle. In such a situation, the level of carbon monoxide keeps increasing. There is a shortage of oxygen. The lungs do not get sufficient amount of oxygen. Due to lack of oxygen, heart and brain cells start dying. Oxygen does not reach these organs and the heart beat starts decreasing. Due to this, the heart is not able to function properly and oxygen does not reach the brain, which causes death.
