Sample summary of basic first aid skills popularization training content

The core result of this basic first aid skills popularization training for the public with non-medical backgrounds was that 92% of the participants mastered 4 urgently needed first aid operations that can be directly implemented. At the same time, more than 80% of ordinary people's common first aid cognitive misunderstandings were corrected. 76% of the participants reported that they "dare to step forward and do not panic" when encountering emergency first aid scenarios.

This training was conducted by three front-line attending physicians from the emergency department of the Community Union District Central Hospital. Instead of reading the empty content of the PPT, the training started with a real case that happened on the roadside in the district last month: an aunt encountered a passerby who fainted. She pinched the person and slapped him on the back, almost blocking the patient's loose tongue into the airway. In the end, a passing nurse came over and corrected his position to prevent serious trouble. Many residents who participated in the training were speechless after watching it, saying that they had done this before when they encountered such a thing.

The cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) that everyone is most concerned about does not directly give a standard answer in the training. Instead, the current two mainstream operating logics are thoroughly explained: The latest guidelines of the American Heart Association (AHA) make it clear that when non-professionals encounter patients with sudden cardiac death, they can only perform chest compressions without forced artificial respiration. This avoids wasting time due to irregular operations and reduces everyone's psychological burden.； However, many domestic front-line emergency doctors also pointed out that if the rescuer masters the correct artificial respiration method, the rescue success rate with chest compressions will be about 30% higher. Everyone can choose according to their own abilities and on-site conditions. To be honest, I have read many tutorials before that describe CPR as very complicated. This time the doctor directly gave ordinary people the operating ruler: the pressing position is at the midpoint of the line connecting the two nipples, the depth is 5-6 cm, the frequency is 100-120 times a minute, and you just press it to the beat of "The Most Stunning Ethnic Style". There is no need to remember complicated numbers. During the actual operation, many people did not press hard enough at first, and the simulator did not respond. The doctor smiled and said, "You don't have to be afraid of breaking the ribs. When it comes to saving lives, broken ribs can be raised, but if the person is gone, there is nothing."

Compared with sudden death first aid, which may be encountered only a few times in a lifetime, the Heimlich maneuver is a high-frequency skill that can be used daily. When a child gets stuck in jelly or an elderly person chokes on his meal, many people's first reaction is to reach out and pick it out, or pat the back. Both of these operations are basically unhelpful and will only push the foreign object deeper. During the training, the doctor used a simulator to demonstrate that the adult should stand behind the patient when rescuing, place a fist with two fingers above the navel, and wrap the fist with the other hand to quickly exert force upward and inward. A young man was too nervous when he practiced for the first time, and his arms were shaking. It took him three practices to find the right feeling of force. He said with sweat, "I thought it was simple before, but I realized that it is useless if I don't use the right strength." A controversial point is also raised here: for patients with airway obstruction who have lost consciousness, should Heimlich be performed first or should the airway be opened first? Different doctors also have different suggestions. Some recommend taking out the foreign objects visible in the mouth before pressing them. Some think that ordinary people do not need to rush out the foreign objects and can just follow the cardiopulmonary resuscitation process. Everyone can make a judgment based on the situation at the scene.

Oh, by the way, there is another question that many people ask: Do you need to help someone who has fainted? The doctor said to first check whether the surrounding environment is safe, then tap the shoulder and call for help to see if there is a reaction. Don't go up and help. In case the person has a spinal injury, if he is helped, he will become paraplegic.

The content of traumatic hemostasis has also broken many people's inherent cognition. In the past, everyone knew that compression should be used to stop bleeding, but how to use a tourniquet? The old saying is that the tourniquet must be loosened every 40 minutes to avoid limb necrosis, but this training also made it clear: If the accident location is less than 20 minutes' drive from the hospital, there is no need to loosen the tourniquet to avoid loosening the tourniquet and causing a large amount of blood loss. If the distance is far, just loosen the tourniquet for 1-2 minutes every 30-40 minutes according to the regulations. There is also the question that people often ask, should I apply toothpaste or soy sauce to burns? The doctor directly gave the conclusion: Do not apply any colored things, otherwise the doctor will have to clean it up when you get to the hospital, which will delay the treatment. The best solution is to rinse it with running cold water for more than 15 minutes.

We have compiled all the operation videos and misunderstandings of this training into an electronic manual and put it on the community official account. If you are interested, you can download it at any time. We also hold free practical training camps every month. To be honest, watching the tutorial ten times is not as profound as pinching the simulator once. After all, when it comes to first aid, I'm not afraid that you don't know how to do it, but I'm afraid that if you don't know enough about it, you dare to mess with it, and instead of helping, you will only add to the chaos.
