The principle of "three first and three later": the basic criterion to ensure the safety of patients' lives
In case of sudden illness or accidental injury, correct first aid measures can effectively protect the life and health of patients. In an emergency, following the principle of "three firsts and three afters" can help emergency personnel to carry out emergency actions quickly and orderly, and maximize the survival rate and rehabilitation quality of patients.
Protecting life first: ensuring patients' basic survival needs
At the emergency scene, the first task is to protect the patient's life. This includes checking the patient's breathing, pulse and conscious state, and taking necessary first-aid measures to maintain the stability of the patient's vital signs, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, hemostasis, and opening the airway. In addition, attention should be paid to site safety to avoid secondary injuries.
Safety first: protect the safety of emergency personnel and the surrounding environment.
When an emergency happens, emergency personnel must ensure their own safety. They should assess the risk factors at the scene, such as fire, explosion and chemical leakage, and take corresponding measures to protect themselves. In addition, we must ensure the safety of the surrounding environment to prevent others from being injured or creating more accidents.
First aid: Take appropriate first aid measures quickly.
In order to help patients as soon as possible, emergency personnel need to take corresponding emergency measures quickly. According to the patient's specific situation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, hemostasis and wound dressing may be needed. In the process of first aid, we should be orderly and efficient, avoid wasting time and resources, and save patients' lives to the maximum extent.
After being sent to the hospital for treatment, the patient will be sent to the hospital in time.
First aid is only a temporary rescue measure and cannot replace further treatment in the hospital. Therefore, the emergency personnel should send the patient to the hospital quickly after completing the initial first aid. Pay attention to the patient's posture, keep the respiratory tract unobstructed, and contact the hospital in time to inform the patient's situation and estimated arrival time, so that the hospital can prepare for receiving.
After asking about the medical history: understand the patient's condition and background information.
After the first aid work is completed, the emergency personnel need to ask the patient or witness about the patient's medical history and on-site situation. This helps doctors to better judge the cause of the patient and make further treatment plans. In addition, additional information, such as allergy history and medication history, can be collected to ensure that the medical services provided by the hospital are more accurate and effective.
Post-observation: monitoring the patient's condition changes.
Even if the patient has regained consciousness or stable vital signs during the first aid, the emergency personnel need to continue to observe the changes of the patient's condition before sending him to the hospital. In this way, any possible complications or deterioration of the condition can be found and handled in time to ensure the safety and rehabilitation of patients.
Summary:
The principle of "three first and three later" is the basic principle of on-site first aid, which covers many aspects such as protecting life, ensuring safety, rapid first aid and follow-up treatment. Following this principle can improve the effect of first aid and protect the life and health of patients to the maximum extent.
