Though emergency system is highly developed and we expect the ambulance to arrive within ten to fifteen minutes, from time to time the situation requires medical interference immediately. At present the government pays a lot of attention to educating the skills of first responder aid. It's understandable taking into consideration that a couple of simple actions may in some cases save a person's life. First responder aid is regarded as immediate care for an injury or illness that is commonly performed by a non-expert. It commonly consists of a number of simple methods that may be performed with minimal equipment. You do not have to be a doctor to help sick or injured people to survive until actual medical assistance can be applied. In case of small injuries there is no necessity in further medical care taking into account that the first aid was performed correctly. In more severe cases these life-saving methods are vitally important until the ambulance car shows up. When you come upon a person that definitely demands first responder aid the first thing you should do is to call 911. After you are sure that medical care is on its way to the sick or injured person, you should try to alleviate the person's sufferings until the ambulance arrives. Firstly, perform an emergency medical exam before accomplishing definite actions. What you have to do is to check the ABCs of first aid, i.e. Airway, breathing and circulation. In case you notice that there are some obstructions in the airway, you should remove it immediately. If there is no breathing even after you have cleared the airway, you need to begin with artificial pulmonary ventilation. It implies interchange of breathing into the mouth of the injured person and chest compressions. What's essential, you need to stop the bleeding in case you notice that the person is wounded and provide proper blood circulation. In case you know the basics of emergency help, you can be sure that you and your relatives are safe whatever occurs. |
