Each of us has a duty to help in a situation that threatens the life or health of another human being. Failure to do so may result in consequences, up to 3 years imprisonment. (Article 162 of the CC says: § 1. Whoever does not provide assistance to a person who is in a situation of imminent danger of loss of life or serious damage to health, being able to provide it without exposing himself or another person to the risk of loss of life or serious damage to health, shall be punishable by imprisonment of up to 3 years. First aid providers do not have to fear criminal liability for improper provision of first aid.

A thermal blanket, also known as a life foil or NRC foil, has two layers: silver and gold. Which side will you wrap the injured person with when you want to cool him down?

Time from the accident to the provision of specialist assistance Next question
In rescue, the golden hour is the time from the occurrence of the incident until the victim is transported to the hospital and provided with specialist assistance. The shorter this time, the greater the chances of saving the victim (the word “hour” has a contractual meaning here).

You are helping the burned person. What shouldn’t you do?

Cool the burned area with ice water or ice
Lubricate burned skin with ointments, alcohol or fat
Pierce any blisters
All answers are correct
All answers are correct Next question
In the case of a slight burn, carefully remove damaged or boiled water clothes (do not tear off if it is stuck to the skin), cool the burned skin with water at a temperature of approx. 15 degrees, cover the wound with a dressing or a sterile gauze pad. We never pierce the blisters that appear!

The most important rule that must be remembered during each rescue operation is:

Taking care of your own safety
First, we call the emergency services
We check whether the victim is alive
Taking care of your own safety Next question
First of all, we pay attention to our own safety. What does it mean? Some examples. If you suspect a car accident, put up the warning triangle and wear a reflective vest after your vehicle exits. When providing assistance, wear disposable gloves, if you do not have them, foil gloves or plain (undamaged) foil bags can be used for protection. Helping the injured person is our duty, but only if it does not threaten our safety.

When to stop resuscitating the victim

If the CPR does not work after 15 minutes, we give it up
When the rescuers arrive and take over the rescue operation
We recover even when the injured person regains vital functions
When the rescuers arrive and take over the rescue operation Next question
We conduct resuscitation until the arrival of emergency services, if our forces allow it. It is good to have another person to help and change when we run out of strength. If the victim’s condition improves, we suspend resuscitation, but keep the victim under control.

Adult resuscitation is as follows:

20 compressions and 5 breaths
30 compressions of the chest and two breaths
First a strong punch to the chest, then a cycle of 10 compressions and 5 breaths
30 compressions of the chest and two breaths Next question
If we are rescuing an adult, we start by compressing the chest. Place the clasped hands in the middle of the breastbone and use the weight of your own body to compress 30 times. The rate is 100 per minute, which is roughly three compressions every two seconds.

You suspect mushroom poisoning. What do you do?

You will lie down and wait until you feel better

You provoke vomiting and see a doctor as soon as possible Next question
Thanks to vomiting, we will remove the remnants of mushrooms from the stomach, but also obtain material for testing. Remember, in the case of mushroom poisoning, time is of the essence, so at the slightest suspicion of poisoning, contact a doctor as soon as possible. We do not take any medications ourselves.

You will use the Heimlich’s maneuver in the case of:

Burns
Ankle sprains
Choking
Choking Next question
Heimlich’s maneuver is a method of first aid in the event of choking, when the victim is unconscious or unable to breathe. Embrace the injured person at waist level by standing behind him and leaning him slightly forward. Then we need to clench one hand into a fist and embrace it with the other hand and thus very vigorously press the diaphragm towards ourselves and slightly upwards. This vigorous pressure on the diaphragm should compress the air, pushing the foreign body out. The Heimlich grab can be done five times and then take a tapping break. And after a while the trick can be repeated again.
