| At present you won't surprise anyone with the number of accidents and episodes of diseases that happen daily. Though emergency system is highly developed and we expect the ambulance car to arrive within 10-15 minutes, from time to time the situation requires immediate medical interference. Now the government pays scrupulous attention to teaching the skills of first responder aid. It is understandable taking into account that a couple of simple actions may in some cases save a person's life. First aid is considered to be initial care for an injury or disease that is commonly accomplished by a non-specialist. It generally consists of a number of simple methods that can be accomplished with minimal equipment. You don't need to be a physician to help sick or injured people to survive till medical assistance can be applied. In case of small injuries there is no necessity in further medical care taking into consideration that the first responder aid was accomplished correctly. In more serious cases these life-saving actions are vitally important until the ambulance car arrives. When you come upon a person that definitely demands first responder aid you should call 911. After you are sure that ambulance is on its way to the sick or injured person, you should try to alleviate his sufferings till the ambulance arrives. Firstly, perform a short medical exam before undertaking definite actions. What you need to do is to check the ABCs of first aid, i.e. Airway, breathing and circulation. If you notice that there are obstructions in the airway, you have to remove it as soon as possible. In case there is no breathing after you have cleared the airway, you need to start artificial pulmonary ventilation. It includes interchange of breathing into the mouth of the injured person and chest compressions. What's also significant, you should stop the bleeding in case you see that the person is wounded and provide proper blood circulation. When you're aware of the basics of first responder aid, you can be certain that you and your close people are safe no matter what happens. |
