City Hospital No. 2 in Biysk Enhances Emergency Care with First Aid Training
City Hospital No. 2 in Biysk has embarked on an initiative to equip its medical staff with essential first aid skills. The training program, titled "I Care!", aims to prepare medical workers to handle life-threatening conditions effectively.
The training sessions, conducted in small groups of 10-15 people, are designed to refresh both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of the hospital staff. The sessions cover a range of topics, including providing aid for burns and frostbite, stopping bleeding, removing foreign bodies from airways, and performing basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Notably, the training is not limited to specialized medical personnel. Almost all hospital staff, including those without specialized medical education, have been trained in first aid skills. This move is aimed at ensuring that every staff member is prepared to offer immediate aid in critical situations.
Alexander Bezhbarmakov, a physician-reanimatologist from the Biysk Emergency Medical Station, conducted the training. He explained and demonstrated life-saving techniques on a mannequin, ensuring that each staff member understood the procedures correctly.
Maria Gordieva, Deputy Chief Medical Officer for Clinical-Expert Work at City Hospital No. 2, emphasized that the primary aim of the first aid training is to increase patient safety. She noted that the knowledge gained from the training is expected to help colleagues act correctly in critical situations, ultimately improving the overall emergency care provided by the hospital.
By the end of August, all staff at the medical institution are expected to be fully trained. Each staff member will receive a certificate upon completion. The trained staff will be able to provide necessary help not only within the medical institution but also in daily life.
This initiative is part of a broader trend of community-based emergency preparedness and first aid education. By empowering citizens with the skills and knowledge needed to offer timely and effective emergency assistance, the hospital aims to improve overall community safety and health outcomes. The "I Care!" program aligns with documented initiatives worldwide that aim to equip non-professionals with emergency skills to identify and manage acute conditions effectively.
The press service of City Hospital No. 2 reported the training, emphasizing its importance in enhancing the hospital's emergency care capabilities. The training is a significant step towards improving the hospital's readiness to respond to critical situations and ensuring the best possible outcomes for its patients.
