WHAT PARAMEDICS

Basic knowledge and quick action can help them save a life

Learn CPR:- If the airway is blocked and the brain has no oxygen supply for four to six minutes, then the brain will be damaged, says David Pang, a senior ambulance officer at the Fire Services Ambulance Command Training School in Hong Kong. Once the brain is damaged, It is damaged forever. CPR, which combines mouth to mouth breathing with chest compressions, is vital.

Make Sure Your Survive:-

Make sure it is safe to go to the scene of an emergency. Says Chick Way Fun, a staff nurse at Singapore’s mount Elizabeth Hospital. Some people will rush in without thinking first. David pang remembers a recent incident in which a bystander was swept away by flood waters during a typhoon. He died while trying to rescue another person caught in the flood.

Call For Help:- Call for an ambulance immediately. I have seen cases where people died due to delay in calling. Chief resident at the Makati Medical Center Emergency Department in Manila. Almost every paramedic has seen death by denial. Wan recalls a man who had difficulty breathing after having an allergic reaction to antibiotics.

Wait for the Ambulance:-

It isn’t just transportation it’s an emergency room on wheels. Heart defibrillators and other equipment and medications. What’s more, adds Dr. Edwin Leo, a senior medical officer at Subbing jaya Medical Center in Kuala Lumpur, our ambulances have radio or phone contact with the hospital and tell the hospital the condition of the patient and what is being done so they can prepare the emergency room.

Work With the Paramedics:- CPR until the ambulance arrives, advises David pang. Once the emergency medical workers take over. Stay back and give them room. At the scene of a car crash or a fall, be ready to explain how the accident happened, since that can help rescuers determine what internal injuries may have occurred. In poisoning cases give the substance to paramedics with animal, snake or spider bites, accurately describe the creature.
