Każdy może uratować życie
Pierwsza pomoc – nasz obowiązek
Zapewnienie pierwszej pomocy w nagłym wypadku jest obowiązkiem obywatelskim spoczywającym na nas wszystkich. Kiedy jednak taka potrzeba się pojawia, wielu ludzi nie potrafi pomóc.
Wypadki, których byliśmy świadkami uświadomiły nam potrzebę uzupełnienia naszej wiedzy.
In addition to know-how, good emergency equipment is also very important at sea. A simple first-aid box, such as may be found in a car, is not enough on board, because professional help is usually far away. Especially in the case of longer trips, the standard items should be supplemented with additional equipment, such as a resuscitation bag, a suction pump for the airways, a defibrillator and an emergency pharmacy. Information on this can be provided by specialist dealers and in the relevant literature. In the event of an emergency at sea where people’s health or even life is at risk, not only should first-aid be given but a distress call should also be made to notify other vessels and the maritime rescue services.
