https://doi.org/10.51922/1818-426X.2023.2.18
Abstract
The article presents a short literature review of on first aid for severe external bleeding, and analyzes possible approaches to training. The review takes into account the recommendations of the European Resuscitation Council 2021 and the recommendations of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Society 2020 on first aid, resuscitation and education, American Heart Association and American Red Cross Focused Update for First Aid 2020, as well as other recent scientific papers on this topic. New changes in international recommendations in comparison with the previous ones are highlighted, their assessment is given. Special attention is given on the stages of training and the conditions required for it.
International recommendations and own experience in external bleeding first aid teaching for non-healthcare professionals and healthcare professional are compared. The key components of the first aid algorithm have been identified. Practical recommendations for assessing the situation and completing the first-aid kit, for training in pressure on the wound, the use of a commercial or improvised tourniquet, pressure and hemostatic bandage are given.
