What does first aid and emergency health training include

The core content of current domestic first aid and emergency health training that is compliant is designed around the three core logics of "being able to provide first aid, avoiding risks, and preventing hidden dangers on a daily basis". They cannot be replaced by just searching for a few operation videos on the Internet.

I have been a community first aid volunteer trainer for almost three years, and have been exposed to more than a hundred official, public welfare, and commercial trainings. The highest priority is always the on-site treatment of fatal emergencies. To put it bluntly, it is the hard skills that can bring people back from death. The use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) is a must. Xiang, after all, the golden treatment window for cardiac arrest is only 4 minutes. Waiting for 120 to arrive will most likely be too late. Last year, there was a security guard in the community where I was connected. He used it in the second week after the training. He held down the guard for less than 3 minutes when he suddenly fell to the ground while walking. He cooperated with the AED provided by the property management for defibrillation. When the uncle woke up, 120 had just arrived at the gate of the community. By the way, I will also practice the Heimlich maneuver for different age groups. After all, it is too common for the elderly and children to choke on their food or have foreign objects stuck in their food. If something really happens, it is wrong to pinch someone in the middle or pat the back. You have to use the right posture.

It is not enough to know how to rescue people in emergencies. You cannot involve yourself when rescuing people. Therefore, most of the following content focuses on emergency avoidance and minor emergency treatment in different scenarios. For example, for burns, you should first flush cold water for 15 minutes instead of applying toothpaste; for sprains, you should apply ice first instead of rubbing to loosen congestion; when escaping from a fire, you should cover your mouth and nose and bend down while walking; if you encounter a stampede accident, you should lie on your side with your hands on your chest to prevent suffocation. After the 720 heavy rain in Zhengzhou last year, our training here also specially added the following: The contents on preventing electric shock on waterways and self-rescue after falling into water are very relevant to everyone's daily life. They will even teach you how to call 120 correctly. Many people will only say "I have someone fainted here" when they are anxious. They cannot tell the specific address or the patient's status, which in turn delays the treatment time.

There is another piece of content that many people ignore, which is the identification and prevention of common sudden health problems, such as not moving the patient casually during a myocardial infarction, giving fast sugar instead of warm water if you faint due to hypoglycemia, lying down to measure blood pressure when dizziness occurs due to high blood pressure, what should be prepared in the home medicine box, and how to test the blood of the elderly. Oxygen and blood pressure may seem trivial, but when used, they are more effective than anything else. There was a student mother who encountered a febrile convulsion in her child after class. She did not shake the child or put a spoon in his mouth, but lay on her side to clean up the secretions from the mouth and nose. When she was sent to the hospital, the doctor praised her for handling the situation well and not causing secondary harm to the child.

Of course, there are differences in the training content of different institutions, and there are also discussions in the industry. For example, some commercial institutions will add a lot of content on wilderness survival and extreme disaster survival. One group of people believes that there is no harm in ordinary people learning more skills, which can be used in case of extreme situations; the other group thinks that most people Most ordinary people will never be in danger in a no-man's land or be buried under earthquake pressure once in their lifetime. Spending most of their time learning to drill wood to make fire and climb with knots is a waste of energy. It is better to use the limited time to master basic movements such as CPR and Heimlich. After all, these are scenes that are likely to be encountered every day.

To put it bluntly, first aid training is like a fire extinguisher at home. You may never use it on a daily basis, but when it comes to work, you have to be able to operate it. You can't wait for a fire to start before reading the instructions, right?
