Emergency First Aid

Emergency Care - a Basic Requirement in Human Life

EMERGENCY CARE - A BASIC REQUIREMENT IN HUMAN LIFE .

There is a great variability in the quality of care given to persons have been injured outside the hospital . In the past first-aid care was often given by poorly trained persons with inadequate equipment .Many communities now prepare specially trained persons to respond to emergency calls .Emergency medical technicians have preparation beyond basic first-aid training and preparation in transportation of injured , but they do not carry intrusive procedures . In some communities nurses are part of the rescue teams quality emergency care in a community requires community organisation with input from health professionals as well as other interested citizens .

LEGAL ASPECTS OF EMERGENCY CARE :
The laws of each state vary in regard to legal protection of nurses who give care to injured persons. Many samaritans have good samaritan laws , which provide a degree of immunity from liabilty for certain persons and situations . In most instances that good samaritan laws add little to that which already exists by common law . Persons are judged not liable unless they act willfully with gross negligence . In most instances the judgement of care is that which could be given by another persons with similar training under the same circumstances . The First Aid once started should be continued until medical assistance is provided.In an emergency a first aider may perform a medical act to save a life . It may be necessary at a later time to prove that a true emergency exist . A good samaritan law will not protect the nurse in this situation .

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF EMERGENCY CARE :
There are several general principles that should be considered when providing emergency first-aid ,
1, Remain calm and think before acting , identify yourself as nurse victim and bystanders.
2 , Do a rapid assesment for life threatening problems like cessation of breathing , absent pulse , haemorrhage , poisoning . Carry out life measures as indicated .
3 , Do a systematic assesment before initiating general first aid measures .
4 , Keep victim lying down or in the position found; protect victim from dampness and cold .
5 , If victim is conscious , explain what is occuring ; assure that help will be given
6 , Avoid unnecessary handling or moving ; move victim only if danger is present .
7 , Do not give fluids if there is possibility of abdominal injury or if anaesthesia will be necessary with in a short time .
8 , Do not transport victim until all first - aid measures have been carried out and appropriate transportation is available . Knowing these types of emergency care not only provide u a good experience in saving many life , but also gives a gift of happiness to many families .
