ON THE SPOT AID AFTER ROAD ACCIDENT

The first one who arrives at the place where a traffic accident has occurred is almost always a driver, and therefore drivers must have the necessary skill for administering first aid. Immediate first aid to injured people may mean the difference between life and death. Modern methods of giving first aid are described in cases of hindered breathing, hemorrhages and shock. A training program is recommended. The covering abstract for the conference is IRRD no. 211714. /TRRL/
