Must know! Emergency first aid knowledge that can help!

If you have a patient who needs CPR, can you help him "get back to life?"

Earlier, a female passenger suddenly collapsed on the shuttle bus at the Capital Airport. He had a sudden cardiac arrest and did not breathe. Fortunately, the seven doctors in the same vehicle promptly rescued and the girl passed by. Events like this always happen, but not all people who have cardiac arrest are so lucky to be rescued in time.

When public safety emergencies occur, the vast majority of people do nothing but wait for help. Most do not know how to implement scientific and effective first aid measures. Why is the knowledge of first aid that should have been a survival skill so far from the public? How can we get emergency education closer to the public?

Lack of awareness of first aid knowledge

Sudden cardiac death is an unusually dangerous cardiovascular disease. Sudden occurrence of severe arrhythmia leads to rapid death in patients with stable disease. The industry has always been saying that "four minutes of gold" means that the key point for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation is within 4 minutes after cardiac arrest . After the sudden cardiac arrest, it is too late for the patient to go to the hospital and wait 120 emergency services.

The reason for no one's rescue is not to save the patient, but most people think that it may be due to hypoglycemia or dizziness, and will not reach out and touch the pulse of the patient, not to test if there is breathing. This shows that the normalization of education in this area is extremely inadequate.

The public awareness of the spread of first aid knowledge is worrying

The International Federation of Red Cross Societies 2016 CPR and First Aid Guide noted that a large-scale systematic review of 79 studies that included 142,740 patients showed that bystanders performed CPR and saved cardiac arrest patients. The rate rose from 3.9% to 16.1% . Therefore, it is imperative that onlookers be encouraged to implement the recovery and let more people participate in the recovery.

According to the Chinese researchers in the Journal of the American Medical Association JAMA Cardiol 2017 March 15 online edition of data outside the hospital cardiac arrest occurs, the on-site recovery implementation rate of the United States was 46.1%, Canada 29%, Sweden 46% --73% Japan is 32.2% , Australia is 21.2% , and China is only 4.5% !

In real life, the coverage of emergency equipment in public places is really not optimistic. In the case of an automatic external defibrillator (" AED ") that is required for first aid in cardiopulmonary resuscitation ( CPR ), the rescue success rate will be increased exponentially with the assistance of the AED when cardiopulmonary resuscitation is performed for patients with sudden cardiac death . However, at present, airports, shopping malls, large offices, schools and other places that need the automatic external defibrillator are rarely configured so that when an accident occurs, everyone will not even think of saving an instrument.

The biggest reason for the lack of public first aid knowledge is that there is no mandatory legal and institutional level to require the relevant staff to receive training in ambulances.

According to statistics, 1 out of every 4 people in the United States has received first aid training, and the proportion of people trained in first aid in China is less than 1% . To this end, we must integrate first aid knowledge into preschool education, compulsory education, and pre-job training to raise public awareness of first aid knowledge. It is recommended that each family should have 2 individuals, each company must have 10% of the staff, spend a day to master the science of emergency skills. Take Germany as an example. If you want to test your driver's license, you must first receive an 8- hour first-aid training and pass the exam before you can go to the driving school. This is a quality education for citizens.

It is understood that 15 central departments including the China Red Cross Society have issued the “Opinions of the Red Cross Society of China on Comprehensively Implementing Ambiguity Work”, encourage popularization of health care and disease prevention knowledge, conduct primary health care training, and organize people to participate in the field. Ambulance. However, the country has a number of ambulance teacher training certificate only about 60,000, and the "opinion" is advisory, not mandatory.

Training legislation to promote first aid education

Although the people admired the spirit of saving lives and injuries, due to the lack of first aid knowledge and the fear of consequences, many people were unable to reach out at the crucial moment. The popularity of public first aid knowledge plays an important role in reducing the disability rate and improving the quality of life in emergencies and disasters.

This year, March 15th and 12th National People's Congress voted to adopt a "People's Republic of China General Principles of Civil Law", article 184 provides that: "due to the voluntary implementation of emergency caused by the behavior of recipients damage, do not assume civil rescue responsibility."

The purpose of this law is to encourage noble acts of bona fide rescue of injuries. "Although we have filled the gaps, we must also master the technology when we rescue them." Insiders suggested that in the future, a certain proportion of first aid education and training should be conducted in key public groups such as police, teachers, security guards and airport workers. . At the same time, at the institutional level, we will promote the popularization of first aid facilities in public places and help improve the maintenance, maintenance, and supporting use of related facilities so that most people dare to use them.
