Misfortune comes to people unexpectedly, suddenly: a fire, a hurricane, a flood, an explosion at an enterprise, contamination of the territory with radioactive substances, the spill and evaporation of various poisons, traffic accidents, as well as other disasters and natural disasters. As a result of such emergencies, people can get serious injuries, acute poisoning, burns.
Of course, firefighters and ambulances will come to the rescue, followed by professional rescuers. But it will be later. In the meantime, many victims, especially those with arterial bleeding, respiratory arrest, and burning clothes need immediate help. And if you do not immediately stop the bleeding, do not eliminate the choking, do not restore breathing and heart function, do not put out the clothes, the victim may die, without waiting for the arrival of the emergency medical team, no matter how ideal it may be.
In such circumstances, when the question of life and death is solved literally - in seconds, minutes, WE should come to the rescue - those who were close by, alive, healthy, maybe even easily injured, but who did not lose the ability to think and act. Success will accompany only those who know how to provide first aid to the injured, who have the appropriate practical skills, whose improvised tools instantly turn into the necessary medical ones: a tie or handkerchief becomes a twist to stop arterial bleeding, a female scarf to apply a bandage to the wound, a stick lying around or an umbrella replaces a tire to immobilize an arm or leg in case of fractures of a limb.
It is bitter and insulting to doctors when they feel their impotence in front of an illness, but it is even harder to realize that a person could be saved if he received timely and necessary help. But how often, alas, the one who is next to the victim is lost and does not know what to do, how to help.
The rescue phone number is “03”. A car with a red cross rode out on call. How long will she be on the road? Five, ten, fifteen minutes - those fateful minutes when the victim needs immediate and most basic medical procedures available to every adult and helping to save the victim in unusual, extreme situations before the arrival of the ambulance.
To save the lives of victims of accidents and disasters, timely provision of medical care is extremely important. According to the World Health Organization, 20% of those killed in peacetime accidents could have been saved if medical assistance had been provided to them at the scene of the incident.
Often the cause of death and defeat of people in emergency situations is their inability to defend themselves, inability to behave appropriately.
