At present you will not surprise anybody with the number of accidents and attacks of diseases that happen every day. Although emergency system is well-developed and we can expect the ambulance to arrive within ten to fifteen minutes, from time to time the situation demands immediate medical interference. At present time the government pays a lot of attention to teaching the skills of first responder aid. It's understandable taking into consideration that a number of simple actions may in some situations save a person's life. First responder aid is considered to be initial care for an illness or injury that is generally accomplished by a non-professional. It commonly consists of a number of simple techniques that can be performed with minimal equipment. You don't need to be a physician to help sick or injured people to survive until actual medical assistance can be applied. In case of minor injuries there is no necessity in further medical care taking into account that the first responder aid was correct. In more serious cases these life-saving actions are vital until the ambulance shows up. If you come upon a person that definitely demands first responder aid the first thing you should do is to call 911. When you ascertain that medical assistance is on its way to the injured or sick person, you have to try to alleviate the patient's sufferings till the ambulance shows up. Firstly, accomplish an emergency medical exam before accomplishing definite actions. What you need to do is to check the ABC of first responder aid, that is to say – airway, breathing and circulation. If you see that there are obstructions in the airway, you have to remove them immediately. In case there is no breathing even after you have removed all the obstructions out of the airway, you need to begin with artificial pulmonary ventilation. It implies interchange of breath into the mouth of the sick person and chest compressions. What's essential, you have to stop the bleeding if you notice that the person is wounded and provide proper blood circulation. In case you know the basics of first aid, you can be certain that you and your close people are safe no matter what happens.
