In the event of internal haemorrhage, quick action can save lives. Knowing how to identify the warning signs and apply first aid correctly is crucial. This article details the essential actions to take in the event of suspected internal haemorrhage, a skill that is indispensable in everyday life and in emergency situations. Let’s equip ourselves with the knowledge and preparation needed to deal with these critical medical situations.<\/p>\n\n
An internal haemorrhage<\/strong> is particularly dangerous because it can develop silently without any obvious external signs. Symptoms vary depending on the location of the bleed, but several indicators should raise a red flag:<\/p>\n\n Rapid detection of these signs is essential in order to immediately call emergency services (144<\/strong>) and stabilise the victim while awaiting their intervention.<\/p>\n\n If there are signs of internal haemorrhage<\/strong>, it is essential to act quickly and carefully to avoid aggravating the situation.<\/p>\n\n While waiting for help, remain calm and reassure the victim. Your composure and vigilance are essential to limit complications.<\/p>\n\n It is imperative that you call for help immediately. Give clear and precise details of the person’s condition, the symptoms observed and any known medical history that may be relevant. In Switzerland, the number to call is 144. Stay on the phone until you receive specific instructions or until help arrives. Your role is to remain calm and provide constant support to the victim while waiting for professional help.<\/p>\n\n Training in first aid, including the recognition and management of internal bleeding, is essential. These skills form part of the training programmes IAS 1<\/a> and IAS 2<\/a> and are crucial for anyone likely to respond to medical emergencies. Although these skills are not covered in the BLS AED SRC<\/a> training programme, they are fundamental for those looking to extend their ability to help in times of need.<\/p>\n\n Learning and practising lifesaving techniques are powerful tools for making our community safer. Recognising internal bleeding and knowing how to react appropriately are not just medical skills – they are acts of foresight and shared responsibility. Let’s all encourage each other to acquire and regularly review these vital skills.<\/p>\n\n To develop these skills further, discover our specialised training courses:<\/p>\n\n In the event of internal haemorrhage, quick action can save lives.
