By paying close attention to emergency situations, you can help people who are ill or injured before EMS, emergency medical services arrive. And you may be able to help save lives. However, even after training, remember the correct first aid steps, and it may be difficult to properly manage them. In order to help you provide appropriate care at the right time, we have created this simple step-by-step guide that you can print on your refrigerator, car, luggage or desk .
1 Please check the worksite and people before taking care of the sick or injured person. Change the size of the scene to give a preliminary impression
What is my first impression of the person 's illness and the nature of the injury? Does a person have fatal diseases such as severe fatal bleeding?
Gain consent: Explain your name, explain the type and level of training, explain what you think is wrong, explain what you are planning to do and ask for permission of care.
Interview with people: Use SAMPLE questions to gather more information about symptoms and signs, allergies, medications, related medical history, last food and drinks, and the events that caused them.
Inspection from head to toe: check signs of head and neck, shoulders, chest and abdomen, hips, legs and feet, arms and hands injuries
If you know, please use that person's name to attract that person's attention. If there is no reaction, click on the person's shoulder (if that person is an adult or a child) or the sole of that person (if that person is a baby) and shout again and confirm normal breathing. Please check that reactivity and respiration are within 5 to 10 seconds
If you do not see signs of obvious injury, please move that person sideways to the recovery position.
Use it to start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (start with compression) or use CPR and AED training (if someone is available immediately)
Continue cardiopulmonary resuscitation until the patient shows signs of life such as breathing, AED availability, or EMS, or trained medical ambulance personnel
You can also sign up for first aid / CPR / AED certification. Therefore, I will learn the latest technology and receive first-aid certification for two years from the American Red Cross.
Patients described briefly need to see a cardiologist or pulmonary specialist (depending on the cause of dyspnea), but in some emergency situations, your breathing difficulties will be delayed until you can accept the patient You can follow specific first aid to treat. So far let the hospital patients rest: yes, you should do your best to make the victims at rest. The logic here is simple, the victim exerts more, uses more oxygen, and as an obvious next result, he may feel more shortness of breath. Think about it, what happens when you exercise at the gym? Simple, you feel stiff. The same can be said to the victim. Let the victim rest for a while while paying close attention to the breathing pattern
There may be multiple injuries, but some first aid principles apply to all emergencies. The first step is to seek professional medical assistance. It is safe to judge the accident site before first aid measures. If the victim is consciously justified, he or she is asked to provide medical assistance, and any first aid is required to be permitted. Next, evaluate the site and ask family or friends of bystanders or injured about the injury or illness details, the possibly given care, existing diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Victims should be examined for medical bracelets or cards describing special medical conditions. Please do not move the victim unless the accident scene is exposed to danger or the victim is further hurt.
In its most basic form, first aid is the first aid to the injured or sick victim. The basic first aid knowledge usually includes relatively simple techniques and procedures that can be performed using limited equipment before specialized medical assistance arrives. In the case of specific people who encountered the use of harmful substances such as heart disease, stroke, stroke, participation in car accidents, or natural disasters, even basic knowledge of emergency personnel can be trained and acquire knowledge. It is very important to support injured people before emergency personnel arrive. The more people receive first-aid training and knowledge, the more profit the community as a whole increases.
