How to deal with emergency and common injury on fire disasters

First, how to perform on-site first aid in the event of a thermal burn

Effective measures are immediate removal of the cause of injury and cooling. If hot fluid burns, immediately remove the impregnated clothes so that the heat will no longer continue to function. Rinse or soak in cold water as soon as possible to cool the wound and reduce the degree of pain and damage. When the flame burns, avoid running, shouting, and throwing fire by hand, so as not to cause burns on the face, face, respiratory tract, and hands. It should be rolled on the spot, or covered with a quilt, blanket, etc., suitable for flushing. Extinguish with water, not flush with water, use a fire extinguisher, etc.

Thermal burns generally include hot water, hydrothermal fluids, vapors, flames, and hot solids, as well as burns caused by radiation, which occur most frequently in daily life. Therefore, there are many kinds of “first-aid” measures for civilians. The most common ones are on wounds. Apply toothpaste, soy sauce, sesame oil, etc. These items are not conducive to heat dissipation, and may also aggravate wound contamination. In the case of a flame burn, the wounded ran out and shouted to extinguish the fire by hand; in the event of an oil-burning injury, water was used to extinguish the fire. These were all wrong.

Second, the principle and meaning of on-site first aid after a fire burn

The principle of first aid after burns is to quickly remove the source of the injury, terminate the burn, leave the scene, and promptly give appropriate treatment. The importance of on-site first aid is that it can effectively reduce the degree of injury, reduce patient suffering and reduce complications and mortality. The on-the-spot first aid for burn patients is the starting point and basis of burn treatment, and has a very important influence on the future treatment and the patient's life safety.

With the development of the industrial economy, there are frequent fire accidents and casualties occur. In recent years, the country has intensified its firefighting propaganda. The public firefighting propaganda work has been carried out in a variety of ways, including large-scale fire fighting exercises and fire escape exercises. To a large extent, it played a positive role in reducing property damage and casualties caused by fire.

However, it must be recognized that once burns occur in a fire, especially in larger areas, the mortality and morbidity are high, which seriously affects human health. Due to the strong professionalism of burns, the popularity of burn prevention and control knowledge is poor, and fire fighters do not know enough about this. In particular, the majority of the people know little about their basic knowledge and prevention, so that some burn patients do not receive timely and effective treatment. It is necessary to have some emergency equipment necessary when necessary, and even lose valuable life.

After the occurrence of a burn, how the wounded, firefighters, and other personnel at the scene carry out rescue operations and self-rescue, what measures should be taken to effectively prevent the continued development of the injury, protect the wounded, and accept simple, emergency treatment, or safety Transfers are all on-site first aid.
