AMDifficulty 3/5

In an accident there are people with serious injuries, but you don't know the correct way to help them. What should you do?

Correct answer

Call 112 and follow instructions without using unfamiliar techniques.

Call 112, describe the situation and follow instructions. Protect the scene without exposure and do not use unfamiliar techniques or move casualties unnecessarily. “Do not handle them” does not mean ignoring urgent instructions: if unresponsive and not breathing normally, resuscitation takes priority. Do not routinely transport them yourself; tell emergency services about any immediate danger.
