deliver first aid to casualties at any accidents
We at Master Care aims at “road crash casualties
to stand a greater chance of survival and a reduction in the undesirable
consequences of their injuries”, if life-saving measures are immediately
applied and followed by quality health care assistance. Immediate on-the scene
rescue and assistance is vital, especially if emergency care response is absent
or significantly delayed.
Anyone trained in First Aid can provide assistance at the scene
of a road crash; either because they are in one of the vehicles involved, live
close by or are in a passing vehicle. Frequently they can transport the injured
person to health professionals, if an ambulance is not available. The quality
of this assistance is strongly dependent on the individuals having received
adequate training in first aid.
"Most
deaths occur outside healthcare facilities. Some of them are unavoidable on
account of the severity of the initial injuries. Among the remainder, a
considerable proportion could be avoided, as is apparent from a comparison of
the differences in mortality rates from trauma in different countries."
(World Health Organization).
First Aid
consists of methods and techniques that enhance practices related to the
prevention, the preparedness and the immediate response to health emergencies.
First Aid can be provided not only in relation to road safety, but also in the
household, workplace, and recreational areas.
Beyond health
matters, first aid knowledge also increases the social responsibility of the
society and strengthens humanitarian values. Many countries
offer a legal immunity from charges of negligence if a bystander attempts, in
good faith, to aid a victim. This is contingent, however, on the rescuer acting
within reasonable bounds of his or her scope of training or capacity. |
