What are the topics in first aid and emergency health training

The topics of first aid and emergency health training are usually set around daily high-frequency accident scenarios. The core covers three directions: basic cognition, practical standards, and scenario decision-making. There is no unified fixed question bank. The difficulty and focus will be adjusted according to whether the training targets are ordinary residents, corporate employees, or school teachers and students.

I have been a teaching assistant in grassroots first aid training for almost five years. The most basic questions I have seen are all based on people's inherent misunderstandings. For example, judging whether "if you are scratched by a domestic cat or dog and there is no bleeding, you do not need to take the rabies vaccine" is correct, or "should you shower with cold water or apply toothpaste as soon as possible after a burn or scald?". For this seemingly easy common sense question, nearly 60% of people answered it incorrectly in every training. Many people slapped their thighs after the test and said that their emergency knowledge for so many years was wrong.

It’s useless to just test rote knowledge points. When you encounter an accident, no one will give you four options to choose from. So in the past two years, we have become more and more open-ended situational questions. When training corporate employees, we will ask: "You saw a colleague suddenly fall to the ground at the work station and screamed. There is no AED around. Some people said to pinch people first, and others said to help them up quickly. What is your first step?" and for training primary and secondary school teachers, " There is a student who ate jelly and got stuck in his throat during class, and his face is red from holding it in. You have nothing at hand, how to deal with it?" There is no absolute standard answer to this kind of question. For example, in the question about myocardial infarction treatment, some people say to call 120 first, and some people say to check if there is nitroglycerin around to check the blood pressure before giving medicine. As long as the general direction is consistent with the treatment logic, we are right. After all, any emergency situation may happen at the scene, so you can't stick to the guide.

Occasionally we encounter controversial questions. For example, we previously asked a question about whether to control water after drowning. Some grassroots first aid guidelines in China still retain the steps of controlling water, but mainstream international first aid guidelines no longer recommend it. We asked the question Sometimes, both viewpoints are deliberately marked, telling students that those with rich rescue experience can control the water appropriately without delaying cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Those without experience can just follow the standard procedure and perform chest compressions. They will not insist on which one is completely wrong.

The practical test questions that account for the highest score are usually taken directly on a medical simulator, and students are asked to go through the complete first aid process, from judging consciousness, calling for help, chest compressions to opening the airway and artificial respiration. The stuck is particularly tight. The compression depth is less than 5 cm, the frequency is less than 100-120 times per minute, and the students do not lift the jaw to open the airway. Points will be deducted. Last time There was a little administrative girl who practiced three or four times before passing the test. At that time, she complained that we were too harsh. But two months later, she encountered someone who fainted on the subway, and she actually went up to do compressions. When 120 came, the patient was still conscious, and later came back to bring us milk tea. She said that luckily the jam was tight during the practical exam, otherwise she would not have dared to do it when she actually arrived at the scene.

In fact, these questions are never designed to defeat people. All the logic of the questions is based on "learn it and use it". After all, when it comes to emergency first aid, being able to do it is always more important than being able to memorize it.
