6. Hints for the Transportation of Injured People
|
The health condition of the injured person is perhaps
essentially influenced by the right transportation. |
- People who had an accident caused by electric current must be
transported in lying position.
- The injured person must be able to be transported. (Blood
circulation and respiration must be functioning.) There must be not signs of
critical injuries.
- If medical staff is present, the question of transportation is
decided by them.
- The hospital to which the injured person is going to be
transported has to be informed of the kind of accident, kind of injuries and the
first aid measures taken so far.
- With low temperature, the injured person must be covered with
blankets.
- Make sure that the injured person cannot fall down during
transportation.
Why must injured people be carried by at least two
rescuers?
