1859, Henry Dunant witnessed the battle of Solferino. Shocked by the terrible consequences of the war, the pain of the wounded soldiers and the fact that there is almost no first aid and basic care. He completely gave up the original purpose of traveling and devoted himself to helping treat and care for the injured for several days.
His work led to the establishment of the Red Cross Society, with the aim of "providing assistance to wounded soldiers on the battlefield". The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement remains the largest emergency relief organization in the world.
1870, Frederick van Esmarck, a Prussian army surgeon, established a standardized military first aid system, which was called "first aid" for the first time. The system includes training soldiers to use the bandage and splint techniques they learned before, and using the Esmarck bandage he invented to take care of injured comrades in the Franco-Prussian war. This kind of bandage is the standard bandage for Prussian combatants, and there are pictures to illustrate its routine use.
From 65438 to 0872, the British St. John's ambulance service changed its emphasis on hospice care and began to establish a practical medical assistance system. This reform started with providing funds for the establishment of the first emergency service in Britain, and then set up its own wheeled vehicle in 1875, and set up the St. John's First Aid Association in 1877, the predecessor of St. John's ambulance organization, "Training people to take care of the wounded and sick".
Also in Britain, attending surgeon Peter Shepard saw the advantages of Esmark's new first aid teaching method, invented the same first aid system for the British army, and became the first Englishman to use the "first aid method for the wounded", spreading first aid knowledge through a series of courses. From 65438 to 0878, Shepard and Colonel Francis took advantage of the concern of St. John's new charity to establish the idea of teaching citizens first aid skills. Through some organizations, such as St John's, first aid training has gradually spread in Britain.
Introduction to World First Aid Day
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has designated the second Saturday of September every year as "World First Aid Day". This international organization hopes to appeal to all countries in the world to pay attention to the popularization of first aid knowledge, so that more people can master first aid skills at the scene of the incident, save lives and reduce injuries.
The Red Cross reminds the general public that accidental injuries are always present. Only by mastering the knowledge and skills of first aid can your life and health be protected as much as possible.
According to statistics, about 3.5 million people in the world die every year from accidents, accidents or violent acts in daily life, and the number of injured people who need treatment is about 100 to 500 times, of which about 2 million victims are permanently disabled for various reasons.
When dealing with critical patients in traditional rescue methods, the wound is usually temporarily stopped and bandaged first, and then the doctor sends the patient to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. At the rescue site, people without first aid skills are often at a loss in the face of relatives who have respiratory and cardiac arrest, eyes closed and dying. In the event of accidental injury, the most precious thing in the process of self-help or rescue is the first 4 minutes of the incident, commonly known as "golden 4 minutes". When the ambulance arrived at the scene, many fresh lives had missed the best treatment opportunity, causing lifelong regret.
Modern rescue concept is based on emergency rescue within ***4 minutes of "the first time", and emergency rescue is to highlight the word "early". Have first aid skills
A competent "first witness at the scene" can completely alleviate the disability and pain of the victims and even save lives by implementing preliminary first aid measures for the victims. If supplemented by modern professional emergency rescue system, a large number of victims can fully seize the opportunity of survival.
Countries attach great importance to World First Aid Day.
In recent years, several major disasters around the world have aroused many thoughts from all countries in the world, which makes the concept of "preventing accidents as much as possible and minimizing adverse consequences" more and more supported by all countries in the world. Protecting people's life and health from the perspective of "popularizing health care knowledge and skills to the whole people" has been highly valued by the state.
Medical rescue training in China began in the late 1980s. From 65438 to 0987, eight ministries and commissions in China jointly issued the Notice on Carrying out Mass Health Rescue Training. Since then, the state has begun to require all localities to extensively carry out mass health care training. 65438-0992 The Ministry of Health and the China Red Cross jointly issued the Opinions on Further Carrying out Health Rescue Work, which reiterated the importance attached by the state to health rescue work. In August, 20001year, China Red Cross, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Civil Affairs, etc. 14 ministries and bureaus jointly issued the national emergency rescue guidance notice-"Opinions of China Red Cross on Extensive and Deep Rescue Work". Under the guidance of relevant spirit, mass medical rescue training has been carried out all over the country.
