What are the topics in first aid and emergency health training

At present, there is no unified first aid and emergency health training question bank in China. All questions are designed around the three core logics of "scenario adaptation, practical priority, and misunderstanding avoidance." The training questions for different audiences vary greatly.

In the past two years, I have done more than 20 first-aid training questions and assessments for communities, companies, and schools. The most common ones are practical questions that fit the daily scenarios of the audience. For example, the question for white-collar workers in an office building is indispensable: "The person next to you at the workstation suddenly turned purple, couldn't speak, and pinched your neck with both hands. At this time, you immediately What should I do?" During the exam last month, a young man had never been exposed to first aid before, so he replied "hurry up and pat her on the back." After the exam, he stayed and practiced the Heimlich maneuver for half an hour. He said that his daughter was just three years old and often had food stuck in her throat. She used to pat her randomly, but now she finally knows the correct technique.

There are actually disagreements in the industry about the scope of topics. Teachers who do outdoor field training insist on adding extreme scene topics, such as hypothermia treatment, snake and insect bite bandaging, and outdoor fracture fixation. However, most colleagues who do inclusive community training do not agree, saying that ordinary people will not encounter one outdoor encounter throughout the year. There is a risk. Putting too many such questions will occupy the learning time of high-frequency and urgently needed content such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, burn treatment, and identification of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular emergencies. Both sides have their own reasons. Now most of them are adjusted according to the training audience. For training groups, outdoor questions are added, and for ordinary community residents, only content that can be used daily is included.

In addition to practical questions, many trainings now also specifically ask a lot of common sense judgment questions that are easy to get into trouble, such as "Can applying toothpaste immediately after a burn or scald relieve the injury?" "Is it right to use nitroglycerin during a heart attack regardless of the situation?" A community aunt took this question before I was particularly emotional when I said that my husband had a heart attack last year and she was given nitroglycerin when she first came to the hospital. Later, when she went to the hospital, she found out that her husband’s blood pressure was already very low at that time. If he took nitroglycerin again, it might cause serious problems. After the training, I wrote this question down in a notebook and said that I would popularize it among the old neighbors when I went back.

Oh, by the way, many trainings now add a question that many people don’t think of: “When someone faints and needs to be rescued, what is the first thing you say?” Many people answer by first touching the carotid artery to determine consciousness. In fact, the correct answer is to first identify yourself loudly: “I have received first aid training, and now I am here to help you. "A young man who participated in the training said that he had rescued an old man who fainted on his way to get off work. But he didn't say this. When his family came, they thought it was him who hit him, and there was a misunderstanding for a long time. Now this question is almost a required question in all Pratt & Whitney training. After all, the prerequisite for daring to take action is to protect yourself first.

In fact, to put it bluntly, these questions do not require any high-level test points at all. They are all real scenes drawn from everyone's lives. They can help trainees not be confused when they encounter problems and do the most critical step correctly. The questions will be considered useful.
