Features: In daily life and work, people may encounter acute illnesses or accidental injuries. For example, severe bleeding from trauma, spinal fractures, and especially patients with cardiac arrest—without immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation, they will die quickly. Therefore, first aid is not only the responsibility of professional emergency rescue medical personnel but also the significant value of self-rescue and mutual rescue cannot be overlooked. Of course, self-rescue and mutual rescue must be based on first aid knowledge and skills. In self-rescue and mutual rescue, everyone has the opportunity to be saved and the obligation to save others. Thus, everyone needs to learn and master first aid techniques. Basic rescue skills include artificial respiration, chest compressions, (hemostasis), bandaging, immobilization, and patient transport. These techniques can be fully mastered through learning. If everyone learns first aid skills, when someone becomes ill, immediate first aid can be provided, significantly improving the rescue rate. This book introduces four major techniques—artificial respiration, chest compressions, bandaging, (hemostasis), and immobilization, as well as patient transport—along with rescue for foreign bodies in the trachea. The text is easy to understand, accompanied by illustrations and rhymes that are catchy and easy to learn, making them practical and effective. Truly, it brings the first aid doctor right to your side.
