First aid to the injured. Instructions for rendering and algorithm of actions

First aid is actions aimed at saving lives or restoring the normal state of a person who has been injured. First aid should be provided by a person who is nearby (mutual assistance), or the patient himself (self-help) until the time that medical workers arrive. The most important thing is urgency, because if you help faster, it will be better for the victim. First aid instructions depend on the type of damage.

What to do?

Before providing assistance, you need to assess the situation. It is important to know what happened, the cause of the incident, the number of victims, to find out if someone can provide first aid and whether to call an "ambulance". When assessing the situation, you need to maintain common sense and reasonably reason in order to make the right decision. Instructions for first aid to the victim will be as follows:

1. First of all, you need to eliminate the source of the lesion.
2. Immediately should carry out all the necessary actions that are aimed at providing first aid.
3. A person who is next to the victim must not allow the condition of the victim to worsen, do everything to save the life of the person.
4. In no case should you risk yourself, because then you will not be able to help the victim.
5. The first step is to see if there is damage that does not give oxygen access.

If several people need help?

If several people were injured, it is necessary to determine who needs more help. It is necessary to provide first aid to the victims. The instructions for rendering are:

1. Often there is a "clinical" death, so you need to try to help a person, because the lack of breathing and pulse is not an indicator.
2. You can’t leave the victim alone, because he may need something.
3. Call emergency number 03. If the person who helps the injured person cannot do this, he must ask someone to do this.
4. It is necessary to record the time, cause, nature of the accident, the condition of the victim and the measures that were taken before the ambulance arrived. Transfer all this information to your doctor.
5. Until the doctors arrive, monitor the condition of the victim: periodically check breathing and pulse.
