Let's try to prevent infection during first aid
Updated: June 4, 2020
To prevent infection
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, please be careful of the following points in order to prevent the infection of those who provide first aid in case of emergency.
- Wear a mask.
- Wear gloves or vinyl gloves and avoid touching the fallen person directly.
- If you are indoors, let's ventilate
- Let's give first aid with the minimum number of personnel necessary so as not to be crowded.
- Don't get too close when checking for breathing.
When the fallen person is an adult
Only perform chest compressions, do not perform artificial respiration.
To prevent infection, cover the other person's mouth with a cloth or mask before performing chest compressions.
When the fallen person is a child
Family members who have been trained in artificial respiration and are willing to do so should perform artificial respiration in addition to chest compressions.
If you have a mouthpiece for artificial respiration (with a one-way valve), use it.
