proposing this space the first question we make is whether the community would need to know how to work in first aid, it would be very important indeed, the second question if the community is considered important, the perception often does things that some of these lose their importance.
Let's place first then the importance of having a small first aid training, without delving into the issue of emergency systems are going to see its definition, we say that is a chain of physical and human resources, INTENDED TO PROVIDE CARE Patients who suffer sudden illness or injury to the scene, during transport, TO THE RIGHT PLACE AND THE RIGHT TIME, the term string indicates that all care chain is a set of links that should work in concert to benefit the patient, the term sudden indicates the sudden and unexpected situation.
determined that the first to face this situation are not firemen, ambulance men, policemen, doctors or other health personnel, but members of the community are found in this situation, who could increase the chances of survival of a patient, or minimize the consequences of this fact.
The first link in a chain of care is the community, we must assume this responsibility and act accordingly, the easiest way to act and improve the system is enabling us not forget that a chain is broken at the link
weak Some may wonder how I know, we know a few simple maneuvers that can contribute to the welfare of people at a critical time. We should also know that I know these maneuvers would be authorized to intervene in emergency much I junction.Our idea would be to inform the community First Responder level, playing
that this is the first to reach the side of sick or injured.have any fact
must always understand that the physician is uniquely qualified to solve definitively the problem of the sick.Our attempt to include training exercises basic, which is what can save the life of a patient. Special situations in addition to basic maneuvers we will introduce some rules to prevent accidents and various other items to recognize some diseases.
While the components of an emergency system are many, just observe, the first two, which are the purview of the community. First I must recognize the emergency, if a vehicle accident in a very easy to see but not so with a sudden illness, this first link will only be strengthened by training and the second place we find the need for a NUMBER UNIVERSAL TELEPHONE, this number allow us to activate the emergency systems, must also be free and if we do not have booths on the streets, there are hundreds of phones that solve the problem, this issue we have today but many are unaware of the use pattern. This link is important that communication is the first thing we will improve,
always hear that question, in the event of an accident where we contact? In our area the call can be made to SAMCO or police, and they are responsible for switching the rest of the actors (doctors, firefighters, etc.).Now the question is this: You are the first respondent, the first is in place, do you know telephone number of the police, do they know the phone number of SAMCO? Know
reported to 107 from your cell phone?, Maybe you read this I consider obvious, but believe it or not we done with school kids a survey and there are many who do not know. Do a test, if you do not know or are unsure read at the end of the note, and just ask some friends to see what their response is, in the event that this is negative and will report them contributed to the strengthening of a link local health care chain.then assume that as a First Responder I realized I was facing an emergency wise and activate the local emergency systems, the next question is: What to do first thing is
DO MORE DAMAGE, our intervention should be limited to what we allow our knowledge, always keep calm to act with an adequate criterion and see where I'm trying to determine possible risks for me and the patient.IN OUR NEXT EDITION Comment CPR techniques.

FIRST AID
I hope the previous note I have served, I would really like to know the result, if made testing, how did the various phone numbers to call for emergency systems, you did not know what would be good if this has been informed that from now on, no doubt, certainly Another problem if we find easily, few of us know the names of different streets and numbering?, if I have to call an emergency system where the command of our people say that beside or in front of him, we fortunate to have health staff interpreter where it is. We said we would enter
analysis of cardiopulmonary resuscitation should ideally participate in workshops, to enter the track will see some concepts of the passage from life to death. The first step in this passage is the loss of understanding communication, the person loses the ability to express himself and is losing touch with what is happening around them, this is followed by the Loss of consciousness, as it penetrates deeper into unconsciousness the core muscles of the tongue is loose, falling to the throat causing an airway obstruction, the air can not enter the lungs, left breathing entering respiratory failure, one or two minutes after the heart stops beating, cause cardiac arrest, is what is known as clinical death within minutes the brain cells die, causing irreversible brain damage, state of biological death . The aim of those who dare to provide life support is to intervene in this passage before brain damage occurs.
The steps of a first intervention are determined by the ABC of life, is what makes an order of priorities, this tells us where to begin and where should I direct. At the opening of the airway. B-mouth ventilation. C movement.
Think then what can we face, the solid elements can cause an obstruction of the airways fatal, the teeth of the grandparents who can not chew properly, the habit of chewing little to eat in a hurry, consumption alcohol affects a person's view, probably the act of talking or laughing while eating, etc..
If a piece of food, or other solid element, is housed in the airways, the victim suddenly becomes unable to speak, breathe or cough. Some victims will instinctively show the universal sign of airway obstruction taking your neck, your skin may turn blue and fall unconscious within minutes if the blockage is not resolved. TECHNIQUES
upper airway Patency
1 .- COUGH: If the obstruction is partial, in forced coughing is the best solution, we must tell the patient to continue strengthening coughing patient's attempt to expel the foreign object. 2 .-
manual compression: The embrace of life, known as the Heimlich maneuver, the objective is to create an artificial form of coughing, with which we force the air from the lungs to get out quickly and under pressure following a rapid compression, the air outlet should allow the foreign element is removed, abdominal thrusts are now recommended by the American Heart Association (American Heart Association), this maneuver can be performed when the patient is conscious, standing or crouching. First I located directly behind the patient, we put our hands around the waist, one hand we find the area of \u200b\u200bthe patient's belt or belly button and put it just above the cuff of the other hand, hand to locate I cover the wrist area and pressed hard and fast inward and upward, I repeat this maneuver until the object is eliminated or the patient falls into unconsciousness, it is important that your grip is below the junction of the ribs to prevent damage to internal organs. If the victim becomes unconscious must lie on the floor, preventing it from falling and hitting, we should be forewarned that this will happen, so I must be stopped to protect it, we stand astride the thighs of the patient place the heel of the hand in the middle of the abdomen, just above the navel and put your other hand over the first interlacing the fingers, we joined forward without losing the hand position by placing shoulders directly over the patient's abdomen and quick and strong compression up toward the head. In our next installment will see how to unblock airways in infants and young children, if you want to see the previous note in search for www.adrianparamedic.blogspot.com.
NOTE 3 WHEELWRIGHT DAILY EYE
We must always remember that the obstruction may be partial or total, if partial and can cough forcefully, to do so, if we can understand
We must put the baby or small child face down or on your forearm, on the size of the victim, the head at a level lower than the trunk, supporting the head with his hand, chin should be in the curve that is formed between the thumb and forefinger, with the heel of your other hand there are four heavy blows to the back between the shoulder blades on time, then I put this arm in the back of the victim, placing it among our two hands, placing it in our thighs turn, given that the head is below the chest and compress the chest four times and ring fingers in the middle of the sternum. If we can see the foreign element will be removed if you do not see, do not want, because we could push the element further obstructing the airways. Throw your baby's jaw upward to open the mouth, if the child has begun to breathe after this maneuver I ventilate (ventilation technique we see below), if I feel that the air does not pass is because even
addition
Other causes of obstruction does not allow a first responder to act, so it only remains to identify and seek immediate medical help because the patient
back a bit on that seen in the passage from life to death we can say that I met a person who had begun to lose the ability to communicate because of airway obstruction, we performed Heimlich maneuver, the patient trying to dismiss the foreign element, if I did, problem solved , but continue with the assumption that the patient comes in unconscious
respiratory arrest can also result from cardiac arrest, blood flow ceases, leaving oxygen to the brain, consequently the respiratory center have lost their functions and respiratory failure. In our next post will explain briefly the steps of CPR, as synthetically diagnose and treat respiratory failure and cardiac arrest while waiting for attention emergency system in each residence. Until next time.
NOTE 4 DAILY EYE OF CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION WHEELWRIGHT
Then we're going to find out if the person is breathing, if breathing the patient's chest moves, we feel the air and also listen to it, these signs are not present when the person stops breathing, for this we make the second diagnosis, the goal is to diagnose the existence of respiratory failure, we must remember the word Mo, M look, listen and S E of feeling, so this does not put on the patient's airway (no more than two inches), always keeping the airway open and looking at the patient's chest, so will look if respiratory movements are present, hear breath sounds and feel the warmth of your breath on your cheek, if during ten seconds will not find
We must continue with the letter C: TRAFFIC, the goal is to diagnose the presence of circulatory arrest, keeping the airway open with the hand that I have on the patient's chin look for the carotid pulse is called this way because I find the carotid artery, look for the ADAM'S APPLE with two fingers, my hand slipped to two to four centimeters in ten seconds if I do not feel the presence of pulse diagnosis is circulatory arrest We must start with the chest compression maneuvers. With the same hand that I'll find the pulse edge ribs, follow the edge to where the ribs join with the other side, there will be in what we call the point of repair, in that place place the index and middle fingers, place the heel of the hand was still on the head side and top of these fingers, with fingers extended remove the hand was at the point of repair, resting on the other, interlace your fingers
