Bouchard Let me tell you, first aid is the front-end core link in the emergency health system that is most down-to-earth and can directly determine the life or death outcome of a health emergency. It is equivalent to the sealing strip at the front of the safety gate of emergency health. Whether it leaks air or can keep risks out at the first time, this step often depends on it.
Last month, I was doing first aid popularization training at a textile factory family home in the old city. On the third day after finishing, something happened - Aunt Zhang in Building 3 had a heart attack and fell to the ground while she was mopping the floor at home. My wife, Uncle Wang, had just learned CPR from us last week. When he was unsure, he even flipped through the pocket manual that was issued at the time. , while pressing 120, he asked his grandson to call 120. 120 did not stop until the previous 11 and a half minutes. Later, the doctor said that if it were three or four minutes later, there would be a high probability of serious brain damage even if he was rescued. Now Aunt Zhang has almost recovered. Last week, she came with her husband to give us home-pickled sugar garlic.
In fact, both the general public and the industry have different views on the relationship between the two. I have met many people before who said that emergency health is a matter for disease control and hospitals. People can just take good care of themselves. First aid is a job for medical care, and it is useless to learn it.； Some people go to the other extreme after taking first aid classes for two days, thinking that all sudden health problems can be solved with first aid. Last time, a young man said that he had learned to bandage, so that in the future his family would not have to go to the hospital if they fell. I quickly explained it to him.
If you think about it, emergency health management actually covers the entire chain from daily risk prevention and control, emergency situation handling to subsequent rehabilitation intervention. For example, before summer, the community visits elderly people living alone to check the safety of electricity and remind them to prevent heatstroke, norovirus prevention and control drills organized by schools, and post-disaster Psychological counseling is all part of emergency health, and first aid is only a small part of the chain at the "moment of the incident." To really implement emergency health, first aid alone is definitely not enough. The prevention and control at the front must keep up, and the medical connection at the back must not be missed. But thinking about it on the other hand, if there is no first aid step, no matter how complete the previous prevention and control is, when it comes to matters such as myocardial infarction, foreign body stuck in the throat, and drowning, the golden treatment window is only a few minutes. When 120 is reached, the best opportunity may be missed, and the previous efforts will be in vain.
I have been doing this for almost 6 years, and the most obvious feeling is that in the first two years when I went to the community for training, everyone thought it was just a formality, sitting there playing with mobile phones. Now many people take the initiative to ask, and some parents specially bring their children in junior high school to learn the Heimlich Technique. A while ago, we worked with the community to install an automated external defibrillator (AED) at the entrance of the community, and specially made a conspicuous blue sign. Now residents passing by will take a second look, and some people will stop and ask how to use it. In fact, to put it bluntly, emergency health is never a cold word written in a plan, and first aid is not a scene that only appears in the news. You carry a portable first aid kit in your pocket, know where the AED is near your home, and know how to perform standard chest compressions. These seemingly inconspicuous little things, put together, are the most practical emergency health protection network around us ordinary people.
