      PEDIATRIC FIRST AID - Jean Pierre Wenger

      PEDIATRIC_FIRST_AID.jpgcuritas.jpg

      Introduction

      First aid is provided to victims of accidents or sudden illnesses until the arrival of specialized professionals, in order to facilitate their recovery. Those who perform the task are familiar with the techniques and assistance. In cases of unforeseen accidents, the person who is in charge of the scene must be able to stay calm and control emotions.

      First aid involves the immediate and appropriate intervention in the event of accidents or illnesses, such as convulsions. It is also necessary in case of bleeding, burns, choking and other dangerous situations.

      This guide is intended for all people who want to acquire the basic notions to know how to respond to urgencies and emergencies. Although rescuers’ assistance is essential, the first few minutes after an accident, before calling an ambulance and being taken to the hospital, are critical for saving human life. Knowing the correct procedures may be useful in risky situations, where death might be imminent.

      Its aims are to preserve life, prevent complications, assist in recovery and ensure the transport of the victim to the hospital.

      It is also important to work on the idea of preventing accidents, as many of them are the result of recklessness. This is especially true in the case of children, who require the most attention.

      These tips by no means substitute professional intervention and it is always advisable to learn these practices by attending courses. But this guide will be useful as an approach to basic concepts and keys in the event of extreme cases.
