what are the rules rescue operations?

Question

i wanted to know as to how am i gonna conduct rescue operations to emergencies....and what first aid treatment am i gonna use for vehicular and all possible emergency calls

Answer 1

When you join the squad or group that provides those services you should be trained, at a minimum in First Responder first aid and professional CPR/AED. Prior to touching a patient the organization should also make sure you are aware of the proper procedures for bloodborne pathogens and infection control.

In the professional resuce field HERO is a four letter word, don't be one! Hero's are always carried by six of his best friends and is forgotten by almost everyone a year or so after that. Learn to help your patient to the best of you abilities and learn your limitations so you don't need to be rescued yourself.

The rescue field is evolving, especially in light of the new technologies being employed in light of 9-11. Always keep learning, your training never ends.

Answer 2

I am having trouble with this question. And, most of my problem stems from trying to figure out who you are.

If you have a legitimate reason for getting involved in rescue operations, you should already KNOW the protocals involved in your part of those operations.

If you just randomly want to jump in an help, YOU could possibly cause more harm than good and it would be better for everyone for you to stay away.

One of the first rules in rescue operations is, "Don't create more victims!" And, that is exactly what often happens when an untrained rescuer jumps into a situation to "help." That person sometimes becomes ANOTHER victem, tying up even more resources.

Some states even have laws requiring people to stay a minimum distance away from emergency equipment and personel.

My best advice to you is for you to think about taking a course in basic first aid. Keep a well stocked first aid kit in your home, office and car. With that knowledge, you can provide that first level of response, helping to keep yourself and your family and companions that much safer.

If you want to get more involved, there are higher levels of first aid classes and CPR, and classes in water safety you can take. Go to a local Red Cross office (or other emergency responders) and find out what classes are offered and how you can be of greater help.

Answer 3

Always use the buddy system. Never go into a disaster area without a buddy. Learn to do triage. This will help the professional responders once they get there.


The first step to any life-threatening emergency is calling 9-1-1.

Depending on the emergency, procede with caution and check the scene. Then you may ask for consent to cure.

To learn all of the basic first response techniques, find a Red Cross in your area and be trained in CPR/AED/First-Aid.

I have recently been trained in these areas and I feel prepared for any type of emergency.

Answer 4

The biggest thing is that if you don't know what to do, stay out of the way.

It's great that you want to help. Contact your local hospital or maybe the none-emergency number for the rescue squad and ask about first-aid and CPR courses. You can learn a lot more there than you can here, and without it being jumbled up.

Good luck!
