Emergencies<\/a><\/strong><\/span> can happen to anyone, any time, and anywhere. This could be in your home, workplace or on the road. In a recent survey, it is revealed that 27% annual deaths occur alone due to the non-availability of emergency first aid within the \u201cGolden Hour\u201d. Golden Hour is the first hour of the emergency & these victims can be saved if they get proper medical aid.<\/p>\n

In such a situation it\u2019s important to know the first aid. Becoming first responder plays a vital role in providing the necessary help. First aid that could save someone\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

The role of the first responders plays an important role in an unexpected emergency. For example, when a cardiac arrest occurs, vigorous CPR<\/a><\/span><\/strong> needs to be done immediately to stabilize the patient. This can be done by the one who knows \u201cFirst Aid<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u201d. First responders can also help in much serious illness that includes Heart attack, choking, accident emergency and many more.<\/p>\n

Who are First Responders?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

First responders are medical personnel like First Aid providers, volunteers, doctors, nurses, EMTs (Emergency Medical Technicians) and paramedics. Who are the first to arrive at the scene of an emergency. First responders help stabilize patients in critical conditions until more help arrives and help manage non critical emergencies.<\/p>\n

Role Played by Emergency First Responders<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Emergency First Responder provides medical care till the time medical personnel arrives.<\/p>\n

Here are few roles of an Emergency First Responder:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They can help in bringing an unconscious patient into the normal recovery position.<\/li>\n
  2. They can carry out life-saving cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR for heart attack, drowning n many more.<\/li>\n
  3. They can perform First Aid for different kind of emergencies mainly to avoid worsening of the condition and do whatever possible to promote recovery.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Qualities of an Emergency First Responder<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

    Any\u00a0emergency first responder\u00a0(EFR) needs to have several qualities to be able to manage such a critical situation. Such qualities would include:<\/p>\n

    They should have basic knowledge about \u201cstress response & management<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Emergency responders should know the medical & legal principles which are to be followed during a medical emergency.<\/p>\n

    As we can clearly see the first responder’s role in saving lives is of paramount importance during an emergency. That\u2019s why it is very important to learn basic first aid that helps in saving lives.<\/p>\n

    In recent years, many private organizations have come forwarded to support first aid training mainly to educate people, to make emergency prepared, to deal with situation & people better during emergencies.<\/p>\n

    VMEDO <\/a><\/span><\/strong>is a complete emergency medical services platform and mobile application which\u00a0connects you to the nearest available first responder \u2014 like an ambulance, a doctor, hospital, nurse, EMT or paramedic during emergency situations.<\/p>\n

    VMEDO <\/a><\/strong><\/span>is working towards building the world\u2019s largest first responder network,\u00a0making it easy for everyone to get timely medical access from the nearest first responder.\u00a0As a part of its initiation, it is also proving First Aid Training for the individuals who are interested in learning life-saving First Aid Skills which helps in becoming emergency first responders.<\/p>\n

    But many times First Responders hesitate to provide emergency assistance just because of legal actions & harassment at the hands of police and hospital authorities.<\/p>\n

    But Now in India, helping or assisting an accident emergency victim will earn you a \u2018Good Samaritan<\/strong>\u2019<\/a><\/span> badge of honor to protect the First responder from harassment which also provides the certificate of appreciation. So From Now on, let\u2019s take a pledge to assist the person in accident & let’s save the life.<\/p>\n
