THE EMERGENCY ROOM DOCTOR LISTED THE MISTAKES MADE IN FIRST AID: ‘THE PRIORITY IS DO NO HARM’
In the course of daily life, it is possible to encounter situations that require first aid, such as a slight or severe injury, heart attack, or drowning as a result of a traffic accident and a fall. Emergency Department Turkish Doctor emphasizes that the right first aid in such cases can save lives, but the wrong practices can endanger a Turkish or Foreigner person’s life, “Therefore, our first thought should always be to keep the principle of ‘first harm’, which is the basic principle of medicine, in mind,” he says.
Injury, attack, grab, like drowning, correct in the initial evaluation at an emergency room physician who says he’s saving the life of Akdeniz University Hospital Antalya Campus, first aid, casualty to prevent harm instead of good to consider, told them about the errors and common first aid conveyed:
“First of all, we should make an initial assessment of the Turkish patient by remaining calm, but if there is no more educated person in this field than us around us, then we should decide on intervention. In many cases, the first correctly performed assessment of the patient is life-saving. If we do not know or are not sure exactly the right intervention to be made in the case we have identified, the first thing to do is; if the patient is in a dangerous environment, remove it from there by the appropriate method of transportation (especially protecting the spine and large bones from trauma), eliminate if there is an obstacle to his breathing (tie, scarf, tight collar, denture, foreign body, etc.).) and waiting for health professionals or trained first aiders to arrive. For this, we must either call ourselves (112) or, if we are interfering, assign someone to call and call for help…

SLAPPING THE PERSON WHO FAINTED
The cause of short-term loss of consciousness can be a drop in blood pressure, stuffiness, feeling great sadness or excessive emotional surge, and hunger can be the cause of fainting. If the pulse and breathing are regular, the patient is laid on his back, his feet are raised, and he is allowed to lie still. After that, if the unconscious person is standing in a crowded and closed place, they should be taken to a calm and open area.
.
SARA SMELT ONIONS TO A PATIENT HAVING A SEIZURE
Epilepsy patients who have had seizures can harm themselves with convulsions, so your priority should be to remove dangerous objects from around the patient. A piece of tissue or cloth can be placed between dec teeth to prevent the patient from biting their tongue. Onions or cologne that you make people who have fainted and seizures smell can prevent the patient from breathing. Usually, seizures stop within a few minutes, so when you encounter such a situation, you should wait and notify the medical teams.
.
PERFORMING HEART MASSAGE IN CASE OF EACH SUFFOCATION
Drownings (exposure to dense smoke or in water) are extremely dangerous situations. When the drowning person is pulled out of the water, his pulse, heartbeat and breathing are first checked. When there are problems, trained people perform respiratory and cardiac massage.
.
HITTING THE BACK QUICKLY IN CASE OF OBSTRUCTION OF THE WINDPIPE
Again, one of the most common mistakes is that someone with a partial blockage in the windpipe is hit in the back.
A person who has difficulty breathing and experiences partial obstruction should not be interfered with in any way and encouraged to cough. And of course, we should not forget to prevent those who want to hit the back.
.
TRYING TO INDUCE VOMITING WITH A FINGER ON THE POISONED PERSON
Since trying to remove the toxic substance in the stomach by vomiting can cause greater harm to the patient, it is necessary to rinse the mouth with water, which is the most basic first aid method for poisoning through digestion. Especially in cases where flammable substances are taken, the patient should never vomit and medical attention should be sought.
.
APPLY TOOTHPASTE TO BURNS AND WOUNDS WITH TOBACCO, SUGAR, ETC. drive
Firstly, these are not medical products, it would not be correct to recommend their use outside the intended use. In addition, it can be used for drying toothpaste, tobacco, sugar, etc.the subsequent cleaning of the especially burned, injured and sensitive area will be troublesome for both the medical staff and the patient.
Many more can be added to these examples. Let’s not forget that every wrong intervention can pose great risks to our health. That is why sometimes calling for help by calling only 112 emergency rooms without touching the patient, and even removing curious people from around him is one of the most valuable first aid.”
