At work, we must strictly follow the operating instructions, which includes positioning and placing first aid supplies, keeping them by designated personnel, distributing them in quantity, regularly disinfecting them, checking them in time, replenishing them in time, and maintaining them in time.

2. In what situations does pre-hospital emergency care require?

Before we talk about this issue, let’s look at a piece of news: Let’s look at a piece of news first. Some time ago, a girl ate hard candy and got her throat stuck. Her parents immediately used the Heimlich maneuver for first aid. After the first aid, the little girl was out of danger. It was so thrilling!!! Imagine if this happened again, if there was no good pre-hospital first aid, the result can be imagined! Therefore, mastering some hard-core first aid knowledge can save lives at critical moments!

Next, I will introduce several common pre-hospital emergency measures. I hope they can help you. I also hope that you will never need to use them in your lifetime! (1) Fractures: In life, many fracture patients cannot go to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately. Before going to the hospital, you must do the correct first aid to help patients reduce the damage caused by fractures. First of all, most fractures have stable vital signs and are not life-threatening. However, the first principle of first aid on the spot for severe traumatic fractures is to save lives. If the heartbeat or breathing of the injured person has stopped or is about to stop, chest compression and artificial respiration should be performed immediately. For patients with severe bleeding, a tourniquet can be used to stop bleeding. Be sure to record the time of starting to use the tourniquet. The tourniquet should not be tied for more than 1 hour. If it is close to 1 hour, it should be released for about 2 minutes to prevent limb ischemia and necrosis. Secondly, in addition to stopping bleeding in a timely and appropriate manner, the wound should be bandaged with sterile gauze or clean cloth immediately to prevent further contamination of the wound. If there is a large foreign body deep in the wound, if the depth and whether there is damage to large blood vessels cannot be determined, the foreign body cannot be removed immediately and the patient should be sent to the hospital for treatment by a doctor. Finally, fractures in the joints of the limbs can be fixed with sticks, boards, splints, etc. If it is a lower limb, the affected leg can even be tied to the healthy side for fixation; for the upper limbs, the affected limb can be tied to the chest wall for fixation.

(2) Shock: Shock is very common in our daily work. In emergency situations, first aid for shock is very important. After diagnosis, comprehensive and efficient treatment should be taken in a timely manner. Although there are many factors that cause shock, timely detection and timely treatment are the key. During rescue, pay attention to the comfortable posture and do not turn over, especially for fainted patients. Lift the patient's head 10-20° and lift both legs 20-30°. Pay attention to the patency of the airway, breathing status, blood flow in the blood vessels, and understand the oxygen content. Avoid aspiration and suffocation. Let the patient lie flat on the bed, hold the patient's jaw with one hand, and let his head tilt back as much as possible to make his breathing smooth. Pay attention to temperature changes. Maintain body temperature and keep warm. Hyperthermic infectious shock should be given physical therapy and drug treatment when necessary. After hospitalization, patients with shock must be monitored by professionals, and critically ill patients should be admitted to the intensive care unit.

Conclusion

Pre-hospital emergency care is also two-sided in the actual operation process. On the one hand, it plays a vital role in the treatment of patients' diseases, and can do its utmost to ensure the life and health of patients and promote their recovery. On the other hand, because pre-hospital emergency care is a new type of business, people do not have much understanding of the disease, and because the incident happened suddenly, it is a huge psychological shock to the patients' families. This leads to too many uncertain factors affecting the effect of emergency care during pre-hospital emergency care.
