  1. EMERGENCY RESCUE OPERATIONS

Every day thousands of emergency situations occur all over the world. People suffer from earthquakes and tornadoes, floods and hurricanes. They can find themselves (опинитися) in danger underground, underwater, high in burning buildings or they may be trapped in wrecked (понівечених) automobiles, trains and planes.

The firefighter is the first who arrives at the accident scene. His task is not only to rescue victims captured in diverse (різних) emergency accidents but also to give them the first aid. There are certain (певні) diagnostic signs which help to determine the condition of the victim. They are as follows: blood pressure, body temperature and skin colour, pupils of the eyes, state of consciousness, reaction to pain and ability to move.

During the primary survey the firefighter must pay special attention to major (основних) life threatening conditions. They include the absence of respiration and pulse, and also uncontrolled bleeding. According to (згідно з) this the process of triage is very important especially when firefighters deal with (мають справу) multiple-victim accidents.

Victims with high-priority injuries need emergency (негайного) treatment. Usually these victims can’t breathe or their breathing is laboured (ускладнене), they have severe or uncontrolled bleeding, head injuries, abdominal or open chest wounds. In this case the firefighter must examine the victim, listen and feel for breathing. If he discovers (виявляє) the breathing difficulty, he must open the air way and provide artificial respiration. It is also very important to check victim’s pulse, its regularity and strength. If the firefighter can’t feel the pulse at the victim’s wrist, then he must begin resuscitation immediately.

If the victim is bleeding severely the firefighter must take appropriate actions (вжити необхідних заходів) to stop bleeding. He can do it by direct pressure (безпосередньо затиснувши рану), pressure point (затиснувши ділянку тіла вище рани) or by tourniquet as a last resort (як останній, крайній засіб).

Victims with second-priority injuries usually have burns, multiple open or closed fractures and spinal column injuries (пошкодження хребта). In case of these injuries the firefighter uses special ointment (використовує спеціальну мазь) and bandages. Victims with lower-priority injuries usually have minor traumas, cuts or bruises. This group of victims also includes those who have mortal wounds and can’t be saved.

When nothing threatens victims’ lives the firefighter must conduct a secondary survey. The purpose of the secondary survey is to protect victims from further injuries and to provide proper (належне) treatment and care. The firefighter is responsible for careful transporting of seriously injured persons.

So, the firefighter must possess (мати) good knowledge of the first aid because the victims’ lives depend on his qualified actions and his ability to make prompt (швидкі) and efficient decisions as to priority of injuries. The fire department must coordinate its role in emergency situations with the local civil protection service to utilize (використовувати) effectively the personnel available (наявний у розпорядженні).
