What are the requirements for first aid and emergency health training

The core requirement is actually very simple. It is to make ordinary people who are trained dare to get started and do it right when they encounter problems. Don't learn a lot of tricks and their minds will go blank in an emergency.

We went to our old community for training before. In the first round, we invited the emergency director of a tertiary hospital to give a lecture. The screen was full of professional terms and the pathological mechanism of cardiopulmonary resuscitation for two hours. At the end, we asked the aunts if anyone dared to perform compressions on the fallen wife. Nine out of ten people shook their heads, saying that they could not remember the depth of compressions and were afraid of breaking the ribs and taking responsibility. Later, we changed the content. Let’s not talk about the principle. We used a simulator to practice at the beginning. We said that you should follow the "press 100 to 120 times per minute, almost to the beat of singing "Little Apple". The depth is 5 centimeters, which is about the thickness of an ordinary mobile phone." We also added the local first aid disclaimer. By the end, most of the aunts dared to try it, and one aunt said that if something happens to her wife, she will not have to wait around.

Speaking of which, we cannot avoid a disagreement that has been quarreling in the industry for several years, which is whether the first aid training for the general public should teach the Heimlich and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which have operational risks? Some colleagues who do safety science popularization believe that ordinary people do not have professional qualifications. If there is a real operation problem, even if there is an exemption clause, it will easily lead to disputes. It is better to focus on teaching how to quickly register the 120 address, how to move the injured to a safe area, and how to help clear the mouth and nose of foreign objects and other risk-free operations. However, more front-line people doing practical training feel that many golden first aid windows are only four or five minutes. It is too late to wait for the ambulance to arrive, as long as the operation is done Make the boundaries clear - for example, first ask people around you to take a video for identification, and don't move around when you meet someone who is conscious and breathing normally. Even if the depth and frequency of compressions are not so standard for ordinary people, it is better than watching people miss the opportunity to rescue. Last year, in the second month after we trained shopping guides in the business district, a shopping guide gave Heimlich to a three-year-old child who choked on a pistachio. When the child vomited the thing out, the child's parents almost cried, and no one said anything about holding them accountable.

In addition to these core disposal contents, what many people tend to miss is the "rescuer's self-protection" content, such as finding a plastic bag or clean gloves before touching open bleeding, don't carry someone with suspected myocardial infarction on your back and run to the hospital, pull the switch first if someone gets electrocuted, don't drag the person directly, these contents may seem inconspicuous, but in fact they are the prerequisites for ordinary people to dare to take action. A volunteer who often does charity work told us that when he was learning first aid in his early years, he was not taught the content of blood protection. He encountered someone in a car accident and his head was bleeding. He applied pressure for a long time to stop the bleeding. Afterwards, he worried about whether he might be infected with hepatitis B and AIDS. He struggled for several months and went for several physical examinations. After that, he did not dare to get involved in similar things again.

In fact, the content of good first aid training is like the small first aid kit you carry with you. You don’t need to stuff it with professional things like suture kits and scalpels that you don’t need at all. Just stuff it with iodophor cotton pads, band-aids, and tourniquets. Once you take it out, you will know how to use it without having to read the instructions for a long time. If training is given to specific groups, it must be adapted to their daily scenarios. For example, training for delivery boys must include heat stroke treatment, evacuation in electric vehicle fires, and how to deal with knee scrapes without leaving scars and affecting running orders. Training for primary school teachers must focus on simple reset of foreign bodies in children's airways and dislocations. Last year, a suburban primary school teacher told us that the unified training they participated in did not teach dislocation reduction. Once, a child was pulled and his arm was dislocated while playing a game. He waited for more than 20 minutes for the ambulance to arrive. The child's face turned purple from crying. Later, we went to provide them with customized content. When we encountered the same situation last month, the teacher reset it in two minutes, and the parents specially sent a banner to the school.

Anyway, when we usually go through the training content, we don’t have any particularly high standards for judging. After finishing the lecture, we asked two ordinary people who had never been exposed to first aid to ask, if you really encounter someone downstairs and falls to the ground, do you know what to do first? If you can clearly explain that you should call 120 first, then clap twice to see if the person responds, and dare to go up and give two compressions, the content will be considered qualified.
