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. The questions of different institutions and different training objects vary greatly. The core is set around the principle of "useful and practical", and there will not be too many weird questions that are out of touch with daily scenarios.

I have been a first aid training instructor for almost five years. The questions I have seen range from multiple-choice picture-viewing questions for lower primary school children to real-life simulation questions for emergency rescue team members. When conducting introductory training for ordinary citizens, most of the theoretical questions that are commonly tested focus on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Heimlich maneuver, common trauma treatment, emergency disease response, and public health emergencies. The last time I did a charity training for an old community, one of the questions was "The elderly at home suddenly choked when eating and could not speak." Your face turns red from holding it back, what should you do first? A. Give him a pat on the back. B. Give him water. C. Use the Heimlich maneuver.

Theoretical questions are easy to answer, but it is the practical questions that can really test the real level. Practical operations account for at least half of our current assessments. For example, if a sensor is connected to a cardiopulmonary resuscitation simulator, the compression depth is less than 5 centimeters, the frequency is less than 100-120 times/min, and the amount of artificial respiration is incorrect, the system directly determines the patient to be unqualified. Last year, I was training safety officers for a manufacturing company. There was a young man who got full marks in the theory test. But when he pressed the simulated person, he was weak and lost strength after pressing thirty times. In the end, he had to practice for two hours to pass the exam. After all, when someone actually suffered a cardiac arrest, failing to press the button properly meant that the work was in vain. It also delayed the golden four minutes of rescue time. He couldn't be careless even half a point.

There are actually differences in the setting of questions in the industry. One group believes that it should cover as many scenarios as possible, such as chemical poisoning, earthquake self-rescue, and extreme weather emergencies, and would like to include all emergency scenarios; the other group believes that ordinary people have limited acceptance and cannot bite off more than they can chew, so it is better to test the 3-5 most common first aid skills. I tend to lean towards the latter. Just like when learning to cook, you don’t need to take a test on how to cook a Manchu-Han banquet first. It is most practical to cook scrambled eggs with tomatoes first. Last summer, there was a student who didn’t remember much content during the training, but he learned the Heimlich method in a solid way. When I came home, I happened to encounter my three-year-old child who choked on eating peanuts.

To be honest, if you are planning to give questions for your own unit's training, you don't need to search the general question bank everywhere. First, you can find out what emergency scenarios everyone encounters the most. Institutions that conduct outdoor research will test more questions about heat stroke, snake and insect bites, and fracture fixation; office buildings with many workers will test more questions about cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, and emergencies when trapped in elevators; training for school teachers will focus on testing the treatment of children's airway foreign body obstruction, sports sprains, and febrile convulsions, which are much more useful than those uncommon questions searched online.
