What are the contents of first aid and emergency health training

The current standardized first aid and emergency health training is designed around the four practical directions of "rescuing right, preventing early, running well, and recovering slowly". It is all content that can be used in practice and is by no means just a paper talk about memorizing knowledge points.

I have been doing community and corporate emergency training for almost five years, and I have seen too many real cases that were put into practice immediately after learning. Just three days after the last lecture in the old community, Aunt Zhang used the Heimlich maneuver she had just learned to save her 3-year-old grandson who was stuck in the throat of jelly. If she had only seen a short video of a few seconds before and had not practiced it in practice, she was so panicked that her hands were soft and she couldn't do anything right.

The most core content is definitely the first aid operation that can be practiced immediately on site. This must be practiced repeatedly on the simulator. Just watching the video is useless. For example, the compression depth of adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be 5-6 centimeters and the frequency should be maintained at 100-120 times per minute, which is almost ineffective. There are also steps for using an AED (automated external defibrillator). As long as you follow the voice prompts, ordinary people can do it. Being able to get started, there are also common requirements for hemostasis of trauma, fixation of fractures, and shower length requirements for burns and scalds. Many people used to believe in the folk remedies of applying toothpaste and soy sauce for burns and scalds. As soon as it was corrected at the training site, many people patted their thighs and said that they almost used it on their children and delayed things.

Merely being able to rescue someone when something goes wrong is not enough. Being able to spot signs of danger in advance is the key to nipping risks in the bud. This area is mainly about the early identification of common critical illnesses. For example, a heart attack does not always cover the chest and fall to the ground like in the TV series. Many people suffer from left shoulder pain, toothache or even inexplicable stomach pain during the attack, as well as "BE" of stroke. "FAST" formula can identify people and send them to the hospital 10 minutes earlier, and the probability of being paralyzed in bed can be reduced by 30%. Last year, I was training for an Internet company. There was a young man who was working on algorithms. Not long after the class, he discovered that his father had a crooked mouth and could not hold chopsticks when eating dinner. He quickly called 120 and sent him to the hospital for thrombolysis. In the end, no sequelae were left. Before that, he must have thought that his father was tired and just needed a nap.

In addition to daily emergency treatment, you must also have a plan to deal with sudden disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, or extreme scenes of outdoor hiking and danger. For example, when escaping from a fire, you cannot take the elevator, cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel and move in a low position. If you are trapped in the house by thick smoke, you must quickly seal the cracks in the door with a wet quilt. There are also common outdoor treatments for heat stroke, hypothermia, and snake bites. Many people think that hypothermia only occurs in winter. In fact, you will be caught in the rain and wind while hiking in the wild mountains in summer. It is still easy to lose body temperature when the wind blows. When I was training for an outdoor group of friends, an old donkey said that he had experienced hypothermia when climbing the arrow button. At that time, he blindly poured hot water on him. Now I know that he had to change dry clothes first and use warmers to stick to the core parts of the neck and chest. Feeding hot water indiscriminately can cause accidents.

Many people think that after first aid, they are done. In fact, standard training now also adds a psychological emergency health content, which was often ignored before. For example, after encountering an emergency, how to relieve your own stress response, how to comfort injured or frightened people, and don't say the wrong thing with good intentions, which may cause secondary harm to others. There are also different opinions on the proportion of this content in the industry. Some people think that training for the general public does not need to cover too detailed psychological content. It is enough to be proficient in first aid operations and memorize the risk points. Others think that emergency response is inherently integrated with body and mind, and psychological intervention content is essential. At present, our training will also be adjusted according to the audience. For example, when training for primary and secondary schools, we will add more soothing techniques for children after being frightened. When training for enterprises, we will focus more on emotional stress adjustment for high-pressure people in the workplace. When training for outdoor groups, we will basically focus only on scenario-based practical content.

In the final analysis, the core of this type of training is never to get a certificate and let it gather dust at home, but when it comes to practice, if you dare to get started and can do it right, that is enough.
