What are the methods of outdoor first aid

First aid principle

When encountering an accident, one should remain calm and bold, be careful and responsible, distinguish between urgency and urgency, and decisively implement first aid methods; First deal with critically ill patients, then deal with patients with milder conditions. Within the same patient, prioritize saving lives before dealing with the local area; Observe the on-site environment to ensure the safety of oneself and the injured; Fully utilize the available manpower and resources on site to assist in emergency treatment.

Observation before processing

Before carrying out specific treatment, it is necessary to observe the patient's entire body and grasp the surrounding conditions. Determine the cause, location, and severity of the injury, or place the ear close to listen for breathing sounds. Pay special attention to the color of the face, mouth, and skin, or confirm the presence of trauma, bleeding, consciousness, and breathing. Carefully observe any fractures, injuries, or vomiting.

Subsequently, it is even more important to choose specific processing methods. Especially in cases of respiratory arrest, coma, massive bleeding, and poisoning, regardless of consciousness, the discoverer should promptly take emergency measures, otherwise it will endanger the patient's life. When observing changes in symptoms, emergency treatment should be administered according to the first aid method if symptoms worsen.

Efforts should be made to organize emergency rescue work for the injured and sick on site, and rescue personnel should have division of labor and cooperation.

Observation and post-processing

There are many types of injuries or sudden illnesses that occur during activities, so various appropriate first aid methods need to be applied to cope with them. As for the specific treatment methods for related symptoms, they will be described in detail later. When performing emergency treatment, move the body in the most comfortable way for the patient. If the patient is unconscious, it is necessary to ensure that the respiratory tract is unobstructed and beware of suffocation caused by vomit. To ensure smooth breathing, the patient needs to lie flat. If someone hits their head, they should also lie down horizontally. If their face turns blue, they should raise their feet. If their face turns red, they should slightly raise their head. If they feel nauseous, they should be placed on their side or prone.

After processing

Before handing over the patient to the physician after emergency treatment, it is necessary to keep the patient warm to prevent them from consuming energy and worsening their symptoms. Then contact the doctor, ambulance, and patient's family.

In principle, patients should be transported quietly after sufficient treatment. The method of transportation depends on the condition of the injured and the surrounding environment. During transportation, the patient is very tired, so it is necessary to rest moderately and regularly, and pay attention to the patient's condition at all times. The on-site rescue time is urgent. For the treatment of critically ill patients, we must first follow the principle of first aid, and secondly, focus on the key points and quickly check the patients according to the following steps.
