CPR Training and First Aid
Vital Skills for Road Accident Victims
● Road accidents, unfortunately, are an all-too-common occurrence.
● Knowing how to administer first aid, including CPR, can often be the difference between life and death for accident victims.
● It's crucial to ensure your safety and then assess the safety of the accident scene.
● Before approaching victims, confirm that it's safe to do so.
● Be aware of potential hazards such as oncoming traffic, fire, or hazardous materials.
● Next, call for professional help.
● Dial your local emergency number to ensure that trained medical professionals are en route.
● Provide them with accurate information about the location and the condition of the victims.
While waiting for professionals, your actions can make a significant difference.
If a victim appears to be unconscious, CPR training can be invaluable.
Firstly, check for responsiveness by tapping and shouting gently. If there's no response, check for signs of breathing.
If they are not breathing or breathing abnormally, initiate CPR.
