Features: When providing on-site first aid for critically ill patients or those with accidental trauma, it is essential to maintain a clear mind and be "well-informed," applying first aid knowledge and techniques promptly to deliver on-site primary care. If the "witness" has received necessary first aid training or followed the guidance in this book to perform correct first aid techniques on the scene, maintaining the patient's basic vital signs (such as body temperature, breathing, pulse, and blood pressure), and continuing until professional medical personnel arrive—this often constitutes the key factor in first aid success. This book is the sister volume to Self-Diagnosis and Self-Medication. Based on the practical needs of self-help and mutual aid in emergency situations, it is divided into 7 chapters and 95 sections. The language and terminology are carefully chosen for accuracy and conciseness, supplemented by numerous illustrations to help readers quickly identify and address different conditions during emergencies, providing correct and professional guidance and assistance. The target audience for Self-Help is individuals with intermediate or higher educational levels who are non-medical professionals. This book can also serve as a reference for personal health conditions, helping readers find information on treatment and health education (lifestyle, rehabilitation exercises, prevention, and care). The "Personal Health Records and Observations" at the end of the book is arranged in reverse order, making it suitable for patients with chronic severe diseases or older individuals. When traveling, filling out this section of the form and carrying it with commonly used medications can ensure that others can provide necessary assistance in case of an emergency.
