First aid
This summary for me. Don’t rely on it, the information here may get outdated.
Most probable troubles:
- car accident
- old/ill person collapse (heart attack, diabetes)
- injury during sports/outdoor activity
1. Danger
- protect yourself
2. Response/rescue
- call, shake
- unconsciousness -> call help
3. Airways
- tilt head backwards, open mouth
4. Breathing
- reliable breathing (not gasping)
5. Circulation
- Stain Alive rhythm, 100–120 bpm, >5 cm amplitude
- no breathing in
- keep cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) until handover to professionals
- risk of CPRing “healthy” person is low, so start always
Remote help
- call 155 in the Czech Republic (directly)
- call 112 in other European countries (don’t call this in CR, it’s one more hop)
- tip: install a smartphone app as an assistant in case of no signal or a guide
Injuries (TODO)
- pressure bandage
- splint
