为什么日常急救训练很重要？

The Importance of First Aid

急救的重要性

Even experiencing it as a bystander, an accident is not a pleasant scene.

即使作为一个旁观者经历这样的事故，也不是一个令人愉快的场面。

If an accident happens in the workplace, you cannot be a helpless witness, since simply standing by can potentially worsen the situation. This is why it’s important to have at least a basic knowledge of first aid.

如果工作场所发生事故，你不能成为一个无助的目击者，因为简单地站在旁边可能会使情况恶化。这就是为什么拥有至少一个基本的急救知识是很重要的。

At its most basic, first aid is the initial assistance given to a victim of injury or illness. Comprised of relatively simple techniques that can be performed with rudimentary equipment, first aid is usually carried out by a layperson until professional medical assistance arrives.

最基本的急救是对受伤或生病的受害者的初步援助。急救由相对简单的技术组成，可以用最基本的设备进行，通常由外行进行，直到专业医疗援助抵达。

Providing quick medical treatment until professional assistance arrives.

在专业人员到达之前提供快速医疗救助。

The importance of first aid is hard to overestimate. Among the major benefits of first aid are the following:

急救的重要性再怎么样强调都不为过。急救的主要好处包括:

It affords people with the ability to provide help during various emergency situations. If someone ingests hazardous substances, or suffers health-related issues like a heart attack, or if a natural disaster occurs, a person knowledgeable in first aid becomes more than just another bystander. Instead, they become an invaluable support not only to victims, but also to professional emergency responders and medical practitioners.

它使人们有能力在各种紧急情况下提供帮助。如果有人摄入了有害物质，或者患上了与健康有关的疾病，比如心脏病，或者发生了自然灾害，一个懂得急救的人就不仅仅是一个旁观者了。相反，他们不仅成为受害者的宝贵支持，而且成为专业急救人员和医疗从业人员的宝贵支持。

First aid helps ensure that the right methods of administering medical assistance are provided. Knowing how to help a person is just as important in emergency situations. It only takes six minutes for the human brain to expire due to lack of oxygen. As such, ineptitude and misinformation will not be of much help to a person in need of medical assistance.

急救有助于确保提供正确的医疗援助管理方法。在紧急情况下，知道如何帮助一个人同样重要。人类大脑缺氧六分钟就会死亡。因此，对于一个需要医疗援助的人来说，无能和错误的信息是没有多大帮助的。

Knowledge in first aid also benefits the individuals themselves. Whether the emergency affects themselves directly, or involves people they live and work with, first aid stems the severity of an emergency in a given time and place.

急救知识也有利于个人自身。无论紧急情况是直接影响到他们自己，还是涉及到与他们一起生活和工作的人，急救措施都会在特定的时间和地点阻止紧急情况变得更严重。

Accidents will always happen. Because of this, properly-trained individuals and the right first aid equipment help ensure better safety for everyone. Without the proper first aid, a simple injury could turn into something much more severe. Many fatalities resulting from accidents and emergency situations result from lack of immediate medical treatment. First aid doesn’t just facilitate recovery. It helps save lives.

事故总是会发生的。正因为如此，训练有素的人员和合适的急救设备有助于确保每个人更好的安全。如果没有适当的急救，一个简单的伤口可能会变得更加严重。事故和紧急情况造成的许多死亡是由于缺乏及时的医疗救治。急救不仅仅是促进恢复。它还有助于拯救生命。

Okay. I am a lifeguard and a Red Cross volunteer who has seen a lot of injuries, did CPR couple times, saved and lost lives.

好吧。我是一名救生员，也是一名红十字会的志愿者，我见过很多人受伤，做过几次心肺复苏术，有救活的经历，也有没救活的经历。

It is very important. Why do I think so? Firstly because in case something happens, anywhere, people would know how to properly react. 

懂得急救知识非常重要。为什么我会这么想？首先，如果在任何地方发生了什么事情，人们会知道如何适当地作出反应。

I live in a country where it is freaking common that dispatch will tell you that they don’t have a unit available for you because majority of them are dealing with drunk people who don’t need the ambulance, just don’t know what to do, but you can be having a stroke or heart attack (good luck trying to survive without permanent damage) or even worse drowning and being unconcious.

我生活在这样一个国家，调度中心会告诉你，他们没有可用的救护车，因为他们中的大多数人都是醉汉，不需要救护车，只是不知道该怎么办，但你可能会中风或心脏病发作(在没有永久性损伤的情况下幸运的生存下来) ，或者更糟糕的是，溺水和失去知觉。

If you need to be persuaded to take the first aid class, then think about your family and friends. Add a life threating situation, such as heart attack, stroke, choking, major bleeding wounds, car accidents.Don’t freaking rely on other people. This is something that EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON EARTH can do. So take the freaking class and do us all a major service. Thank you.

如果你需要被劝说去上急救课，那么想想你的家人和朋友（如果他们遇到困难，你会怎么做）。想想生活存在威胁的情况，如心脏病发作，中风，窒息，重大出血伤口，车祸。不要过度依赖别人。这是地球上每一个人都可以做到的。那就上这个该死的课，给我们大家做点贡献。谢谢你。

First aid is defined as the steps or the procedures taken to make sure that the person who has got injured is prevented from getting their condition worse.

急救的定义是采取步骤或程序，以确保受伤的人不会情况恶化。

“First Aid preserve’s life, prevents deterioration and promotes recovery.”

“急救保护生命，防止恶化，促进恢复。”

Who conducts the classes and what do we learn?

谁来指导课程，我们学到了什么？

The classes/training for first aid is conducted by a team of experienced medical emergency practitioners who are certified by the RED CROSS association to conduct the training such as VMEDO.

急救课程/训练由一队经验丰富的急救医护人员进行，这些人员均获得红十字会认证，例如VMEDO

Live demos, videos and an emergency handbook aids in the training, the training covers aspects of the Good Samaritan law, first aid for snake bites, dog bites, fractures, and even CPR and AED training. 

培训期间，提供现场演示、视频和一本应急手册，培训内容包括《善良的撒玛利亚人法》、蛇咬伤、狗咬伤、骨折的急救，甚至包括心肺复苏和急救训练

VMEDO’s first aid training programmes teach the basics of first aid and also the advanced and more important techniques like CPR and AED training. Over the years first aid training has become a necessity for people at home, schools and also at offices where one is most likely to spend most of their time. These first aid training help us to be prepared in case of contingencies and possibly save the lives of our near and dear ones in times of emergency.

VMEDO 的急救培训课程教授急救的基础知识以及更先进更重要的技术，如心肺复苏术和急救训练。多年来，急救培训已经成为家庭、学校和办公室人们的必需品，在那里人们最有可能花费大部分时间。这些急救训练帮助我们做好应对突发事件的准备，并可能在紧急时刻拯救我们近亲的生命。

VMEDO app also provides the necessary steps that are to be followed for first aid with steps that can be also read and heard on the go to make first aid free of confusions and hassles. The VMEDO app also can aid in the booking of ambulances at just the touch of a button.

VMEDO 应用程序还提供了可以遵循的急救步骤，可以通过阅读和听来获取信息，使急救免于处于混乱状态。VMEDO 应用程序还可以帮助预订的救护车，只需按一下按钮。

It depends. Do you want to be prepared to be able to help family, friends and/or strangers, when inevitable accidents and medical emergencies occur? If the answer is yes, then I think First Aid is a good course to take.

这要看情况。当不可避免的事故和医疗紧急情况发生时，你希望能够帮助家人、朋友和/或陌生人吗？如果答案是肯定的，那么我认为急救训练是一个很好的课程。

As a CPR/FA instructor, I can tell you with certainty that you can become CPR and First Aid certified in just one day, and you will learn critical skills that you can apply to all kinds of emergencies, from minor to potentially catastrophic. A day’s commitment is not much when compared to the amount of good you can do with those skills.

作为一名心肺复苏术/心肺复苏术教练，我可以肯定地告诉你，你可以在一天之内成为心肺复苏术和急救认证师，你将学到关键的技能，你可以应用到各种紧急情况，从小危机到潜在的灾难。一天的投入与你用这些技能所能做的好事相比并不算什么。

Having responded to every type of emergency you can imagine, I was always surprised and somewhat disappointed as to how lost and unprepared virtually all bystanders were. Most hadn’t the faintest idea what to do. If I had my choice, I’d make CPR and First Aid a requirement for graduating high school, in order to reduce the ineffectiveness of bystanders in emergencies, but that likely isn’t realistic.

在应对了你能想象到的所有类型的紧急情况后，我总是感到惊讶和有点失望，因为事实上所有的旁观者都是如此的迷失和毫无准备。大多数人一点也不知道该怎么办。如果我可以选择的话，我会把心肺复苏和急救作为高中毕业的必备条件，以此来减少紧急情况下旁观者的无效率，但这很可能是不现实的。

You would be surprised as to how many people die because bystanders don’t start CPR, and EMS can’t always get there in time before brain death occurs. If you would potentially know exactly what to do to help in the face of a wide variety of medical emergencies, then please spend the 8 hours it takes to get a CPR and first aid cert. Check the American Heart Association or American Red Cross websites for information on when and where classes are offered. The lixs I provided go directly to their course information pages. If you lucky, you might even be able to find a free course.

你可能会对因为旁观者没有启动心肺复苏术，而且急救人员不能在脑死亡发生之前及时赶到造成的死亡人数感到惊讶。如果你可能知道在面对各种各样的医疗紧急情况时应该做些什么，那么请花8个小时获得心肺复苏和急救证书。查看美国心脏协会或美国红十字会网站，了解提供课程的时间和地点。我提供的链接直接链接到他们的课程信息页面。如果你幸运的话，你甚至可以找到一个免费的课程。

To be clear, first aid classes are limited in scope. If you want even more training consider a first responder course, or perhaps even an EMT-Basic class. However, those are considerably more of a time commitment. If you want just the basics, first aid and CPR are a good first step. CPR/First Aid won’t match the training of EMS personnel, but the skills you learn could be enough to potentially make the difference between life and death for someone you care about, before professional help arrives.

需要说明的是，急救课程的范围是有限的。如果你想要更多的训练，可以考虑参加急救员课程，或者是急救基础课程。然而，这些都需要花费相当多的时间。如果你只想掌握一些基本的东西，急救和心肺复苏术是很好的第一步。心肺复苏/急救与急救人员的培训不能相提并论，但是在专业人员到来之前，你所学到的技能足以潜在地决定你关心的人的生死。

If you injure yourself or someone you care about in any way it will allow you administer care immediately to avoid any prolonged pain and/or suffering.

如果你以任何方式伤害了你自己或你关心的人，懂得应急知识会让你立即进行治疗，以避免任何长期的疼痛和/或痛苦。

Not to mention the possibility of saving you or their life (especially children).

更不用说还有拯救你或他们的生命(尤其是孩子)的可能性。

Plus responding immediately to an injury could also allow you to avoid undue scarring. Like a cut or burn for example.

另外，受伤后立即做出反应也可以避免不必要的伤疤，比如割伤或烧伤。

My cousin for example when she was six she had gotten burn on the right side of her back, but because of her older brother had waited to call someone because he didn't know what he was doing to help her and had forgotten to call someone had caused her to have a larger scar than she would have had.

举个例子，我的表妹在她六岁的时候背部右侧被烧伤了，但是因为她的哥哥等着打电话给别人，因为他不知道自己应该做什么来帮助她，而且忘了打电话给别人，这给她留下了一个比她本来会有的更大的伤疤。

To this day she refuses to wear a bathing suit or a dress that could show her back in any way. She is a beautiful woman with a great figure, but because of what happened she is always self conscious about wearing certain clothes.

直到今天，她仍然拒绝穿泳衣或裙子，因为那样会露出她的背部。她是一个美丽的女人，身材很好，但是由于发生了这件事情，她总是不自觉地挑一些能遮住伤疤的衣服穿。

This is just one example of how important first aid can be.

这只是一个例子，说明急救是多么重要。

Graham Winston Norman 
If I had my way, it would be compulsory for everyone to take a basic first aid class. It stands to reason. Imagine the stress taken off every medical service in the world if everyone knew (and maintained up to date) basic first aid. Firstly, there would be less emergency calls, as small incidents could be dealt with at home, workplace or street. Secondly, minor incidents would be dealt with quickly and correctly, preventing them from becoming major incidents (such as bleeding management). Thirdly, major incidents would be dealt with quickly as emergency services would be more available (by not attending minor incidents). There would be less deaths (less burden on family, friends and emergency services), less permanent injuries (less burden on family, friends, emergency services and the health care system) and less stress on those needing first aid and those treating (as they would know what they are doing). If everyone learnt first aid, the amount of money the government spent on treating casualties, managing patients and increasing resources to maintain this need, could be redirected to training in first aid (being proactive, instead of reactive) and improving health care. I’ve taught hundreds of kids the importance of first aid, the elder ones’ most often comments were: “Now to get mum and dad trained…good luck!”. The number of times I have attended an incident to find bystanders doing nothing is saddening.

如果按我的方式，每个人都必须参加一个基本的急救课程。这是合情合理的。想象一下，如果每个人都知道(并保持最新的)基本的急救方法，世界上所有的医疗服务会减轻很大的一部分压力。首先，紧急呼叫会减少，因为小事故可以在家里、工作场所或街上处理。其次，应迅速和正确地处理轻微事故，防止它们演变成重大事故(例如出血处理)。第三，随着紧急服务资源的增加，重大事故会得到迅速处理(不处理轻微事故)。死亡人数将会减少(家庭、朋友和急救服务的负担将会减轻) ，永久性伤害将会减少(家庭、朋友、急救服务和医疗保健系统的负担将会减轻) ，急救人员和治疗人员的压力将会减少(因为他们知道自己在做什么)。如果每个人都学会了急救知识，那么政府用于治疗伤员、管理病人和增加资源以维持这种需求的资金，就可以转向急救培训(主动而非被动)和改善医疗保健。我已经教过几百个孩子急救的重要性，年长的孩子最常说的是: “现在让爸爸妈妈训练... ... 祝你好运! ”.我曾多次支援事故现场，每当发现旁观者无所事事，都非常令人难过。

So yes, it is VITALLY important for everyone to learn first aid in my eyes.

所以，对每个人来说，学习急救知识是非常重要的。

Are you ready to handle confidently the situation of a medical emergency? Some of us think we are capable of handling the situation however, in a situation like this our small action can make a huge impact on someone's life.

你准备好自信地处理医疗紧急情况了吗？我们中的一些人认为我们有能力处理这种情况，然而，在某些情况下，我们的小行动可以对某人的生活产生巨大的影响。

Do you know, holding a person with a spinal injury could paralyze them for life? You could easily save a victim with an arterial bleed.

你知道吗，把一个脊椎受伤的人抱在怀里会让他一辈子瘫痪？动脉出血的病人很容易就能得救。

All you need is a First Aid Training. First Aid training is very important not only for you as an individual but whole as a community. It makes you aware of potential hazards and how to avoid them. You can provide better care to loved ones by handling a multitude of situations from minor cuts and burns to life-threatening situations such as choking or drowning.

你所需要的只是一个急救训练。急救训练不仅对个人而且对整个社会都很重要。它让你意识到潜在的危险以及如何避免它们。你可以通过处理从轻微的割伤和烧伤到危及生命的情况，如窒息或溺水，来为你所爱的人提供更好的照顾。

Knowledge of First Aid is invaluable both to you individually and to your community. It allows you to assist persons who get injured in the event of an accident or emergency until assistance arrives. First Aid skills can be applied at home , in the workplace or in public places, so the safer that community becomes in a community the more First Aid certified people there are.

急救知识对你个人和你的社区都是非常宝贵的。它允许你在事故或紧急情况下协助受伤的人，直到援助到来。急救技能可以应用于家庭、工作场所或公共场所，因此社区变得越安全，就有越多的急救认证人员。

Becoming certified First Aid not only benefits you as an individual but also extends to your family , friends, colleagues and even the community as a whole. As unpleasant as it is to speak of, accidents and emergencies are not entirely preventable or unavoidable.

获得急救认证不仅对你个人有益，而且对你的家人、朋友、同事甚至整个社区都有益。尽管说起来不好听，但事故和紧急情况并非完全可以预防或不可避免的。

If an accident occurs in the workplace, in your home or in a public space, being a helpless witness to an emergency can potentially make the situation worse.

如果事故发生在工作场所、家中或公共场所，在紧急情况下无助的目击者可能会使情况变得更糟。

That is why it is very important that as many people as possible have at least basic First Aid knowledge.

这就是为什么尽可能多的人拥有至少基本的急救知识是非常重要的。

Catch Training provides one of the best first aid training courses in Australia. Do check it out.

Catch Training提供了澳大利亚最好的急救训练课程之一。

Scott Pritchard 
I really struggle with this question. I struggle because I don't understand why people wouldn't want to know it.

我真的很纠结这个问题，我纠结是因为我不明白为什么人们不想知道这些急救知识。

For your family, friends, even someone injured in the street. It is our duty as humans to help those in need but in addition to that, to understand what to do is an incredible feeling.

为了你的家人，朋友，甚至是街上受伤的人。帮助那些需要帮助的人是我们作为人类的责任，但除此之外，理解/知道该做什么是一种难以置信的感觉。

I get extremely annoyed that CPR is not taught in schools. Almost every single person I have been to who survived, did so because CPR was started quickly. These are people who get a chance to go home. To see their families.

学校没有教授心肺复苏术，这让我非常恼火。几乎我所接触过的每一个幸存者，都是因为很快实施了心肺复苏术。这些人才有机会回家，去看望他们的家人。

Imagine if it was your family and no one knew what to do. I've seen it. I've had to deal with it on numerous occasions when parents lose children or vice Versa because no one knew what to do.

想象一下，如果是你的家人出事了，没有人知道该怎么做会是一个什么场景。我见过很多次父母失去孩子的时候，反之亦然，就因为遇到紧急情况，没有人知道该怎么做。

Justin Voo 
I wrote an answer for a similar question before, so I copied and pasted it, after a little editing to suit the question.

我曾经为一个类似的问题写过答案，所以我复制粘贴了上次的答案，经过一些小小的编辑以适应这个问题。

Imagine a man.

想象一个男人。

Imagine him walking around in the most happening, crowded mall you can think of.

想象一下他在你能想到的最热闹、最拥挤的商场里走来走去。

He suddenly grasps at his chest, breathes faster, and collapses.

他突然抓住自己的胸部，呼吸加快，然后倒下。

People crowd around him, one man prods his side and asks “is he dead?”

人们围着他，一个男人探着他的身体问: “他死了吗? ”

Some people discuss what to do, and asks around for a first aider. They search online for what it could have been, but no one dares to do anything for fear they will be responsible if his condition gets worse

有些人讨论该做什么，并向周围请求急救员。他们在网上搜索可能发生的事情，但是没有人敢做任何事情，因为他们害怕如果他的情况变得更糟，他们会负责

Some call the ambulance, one obnoxious teenager takes a picture.

一些人叫救护车，一个讨厌的少年在拍照。

People just stand around, looking at him and hoping the ambulance arrives faster as color leaves his face, and turns pale

人们只是站在周围，看着他，希望救护车赶快到达，因为他的脸正在变得苍白

The ambulance arrives and brings him to the hospital.

救护车到了，把他送到了医院。

He shows up in the obituaries some days later.

几天后，他出现在讣告中。

Now, consider this

现在，想想这个

He suddenly grasps at his chest, breathes faster, and collapses.

他突然抓住自己的胸部，呼吸加快，然后倒下。

A teenager from the crowd jumps into action, approaching the casualty and tapping his shoulder “Sir, are you okay?”

一个少年从人群中跳入行动，接近伤员和拍拍他的肩膀“先生，你还好吗? ”

Casualty does not reply. The teenager asks his friends to call for an ambulance.

伤病员没有回答。少年要求他的朋友叫救护车。

Teenager continues to check for vitals, deduced a cardiac arrest, and continues with CPR. He manages to be resuscitated the hospital, and narrowly escapes death.

青少年继续检查生命体征，推断出心脏骤停，并继续进行心肺复苏。他最终在医院被救活，侥幸逃过一死。

Because there was a first aider in the vicinity, the man was saved.

因为附近有一个急救员，这个人得救了。

This is just one of the many cases that people were saved because a certified first aider was in the vicinity.

这只是因为附近有一个认证的急救员而使人们获救的众多案例之一。

This year, an Indian man I knew as “Uncle Kite” helped out a old man who fell off his bike in the rain, while several people helped out by holding an umbrella to shield him from the rain, another called the ambulance, and another went to get help from a nearby clinic. The old man was bleeding from his head and Uncle Kite used a shirt and pressed it against the wound, applying direct pressure. SGAG and the local news referred to this as the incident that proves racial harmony still exists.

今年，我认识的一个印度人，名叫“凯特叔叔” ，帮助一位在雨中从自行车上摔下来的老人摆脱困境。几个人撑着伞帮他挡雨，另一个人叫了救护车，还有一个人去附近的诊所寻求帮助。老人的头在流血，凯特叔叔用一件衬衫按压伤口。SGAG 和当地新闻将此事件称为证明种族和谐仍然存在的事件。

Take a moment to think about what could have happened if no one was around.

花点时间想想如果周围没有人会发生什么。

The old man bleeding out in the rain, while maybe a few people would have called the ambulance, and some would have used their umbrellas to shelter him from the rain. But he could have fell into shock, or even die before the ambulance could bring him to the hospital.

老人在雨中失血过多，也许有些人会叫救护车，有些人会用雨伞为他遮雨。但是他可能会休克，甚至在救护车送他去医院之前就死了。

This is why we need first aiders. This is why we need to know about first aid.

这就是为什么我们需要急救员，这就是为什么我们需要了解急救知识。

Human bodies are susceptible to injuries, illnesses, and trauma. We never know when an injury may happen to us or the somebody we love or those who are around us. Thus it is always good to have some amount of basic information to take care of critical conditions, to keep it from going from bad to worse or till the medical help arrives.

人体容易受到伤害、疾病和创伤。我们永远不知道什么时候伤害会发生在我们身上，或者发生在我们爱的人身上，或者发生在我们身边的人身上。因此，掌握一些基本急救信息来照顾危急情况，防止它变得更糟或者直到医疗救助到来，总是好的。

Isaac Enriquez 
It's important to know first aid as it can help you save someone's life if there is a situation where first aid is needed. For example if you ate driving along and you see a car accident with someone severely bleeding you can help stop that bleeding and increase their chance of survival compared to you not knowing what to do and calling 911 instead which had a average arrival time of 5–15 minutes which by that time it may be to late to help

了解急救很重要，因为如果遇到紧急情况，急救可以帮助你拯救别人的生命。例如，如果你正在路上开车，看到车祸中有人严重流血，你可以帮助他们止血，增加他们的存活机会。如果你没掌握基本急救知识，你不知道该做什么，只会拨打911，急救车平均到达时间为5-15分钟，到那时可能已经晚了
