A basic course on Pre-Hospitalization Assistance took place on July 6,
12 and 13, 2005, at Fazenda Tamanduá. Once again, we had the support of
the Fire Brigade / 3rd Fire Fighter Group, represented by
lieutenant Saulo Alves Laurentino and sergeants Manoel Carlos Gomes de
Moraes and Severlânio Medeiros de Araújo. |

In the
instructors’ experience, a large number of people who die as a result of
a physical trauma or sudden illness could be saved. It would be enough
to apply correctly to such people basic first aid knowledge, starting at
the scene of the accident, during transportation, and up to the victim’s
arrival at hospital |
|
|
|
|
The teaching of basic life support techniques is extremely important in
a country like Brazil, where death rates and sequels caused by accidents
are high and where the majority of the population is ill prepared to
prevent accidents and to render first aid. “Accidents can happen to all
of us, and if people are correctly and rapidly assisted, we may save
lives, or at least minimize pain and future health problems.”
It is important to remember that in Brazil all citizens are legally
obliged to assist the victims of accidents or sudden illness. If they do
not do so, it is considered omission of assistance. |

As Mocó
Agropecuária Ltda. is a company situated in the rural area, this course
was specially focused on assistance relating to our situation, for
example, employees working in the fields who may be poisoned by venomous
animals. |
|
|
|
|
On this
occasion, the care we should take in the working environment and at home
was also dealt with.
The first two commandments of first aid:
KEEP THE VICTIM ALIVE
and
PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE. |
|
|
|
|
This
course was divided into three stages: |
| |
|
 |
a)
The
theoretical stage, stressing themes such as burns, electrical shocks,
drowning, accidents involving venomous animals, poisoning, different
wounds, immobilization and transportation of accident victims; |
| |
|
|
|
b)
The
second stage: Introduction and Presentation of the Pre-Hospitalization
Aid Protocol (The ABC of Trauma) |
| |
|
|
|
c)
And
finally, the third stage, which involved simulations of real situations
and assessment of students in the performance of their tasks
|
|
|
|
|
And what
did our workers think of it? |
|
“I
am grateful to Fazenda Tamanduá for the opportunity to participate in
the first aid course. We learned a great deal in those three days,
during which we had theoretical and practical classes on how to act
during pre-hospitalization assistance. Thanks a lot!”
(Rogéria Jordânia da Silva Assis,
Food Operator /
Cheese Factory). |
