BASIC ASPECTS OF HOME CARE

Abstract

The article highlights the main aspects of home care. The legal and legal basis for conducting training in domedical assistance is given. The programs that provide training in domedic assistance to the victim are outlined and a list of skills that trainees need to master after graduation.

In Ukraine, the average mortality rate due to emergencies is 130-135 people per 100,000 population (according to the SESP), which is 3-5 times higher than in Europe.

At pre-hospital stage, 76% of victims die, in hospitals - 24%. In developed countries, 28% die in the pre-hospital phase, and 72% in hospitals.

This is because, out of 100 people who died in the pre-hospital phase, approximately 20% were incompatible with life trauma, and the deaths of 80% of the victims were due to inefficient evacuation to medical institutions and improperly organized domedic care directly in the emergency area.

If there is no person next to the injured person who must have basic practical life-saving and life-saving skills in their duties, then someone nearby should help. The lifeguard’s actions must be fast, thoughtful, decisive and appropriate. You need to be able to do it right, because the main principle when providing domedic help is not to hurt.

Although it is difficult to keep calm in an emergency, it will help in this clear understanding of what you are doing and for what purpose.
