Over 400 lifesaver in the district of Gießen: First aid in an emergency!

Gießen, Deutschland - In the district of Gießen, over 400 people have registered as "catetretters" in order to be able to act quickly in medical emergencies. Current training on the subject of cardiac resolution took place at the Agaplesion Evangelical Hospital Middle Hesse in Gießen, in which 26 registered first aiders could refresh their knowledge. The "cat rescuers" are part of a system that aims to provide a nationwide first aid by alerting them in time -critical and life -threatening inserts.

In an emergency, the "cat rescuer" also receives a notification of the mobile app. The advanced training included practical exercises and was made by Dr. Nils Lenz and Dr. Florian Martens, who conveyed important techniques and processes. Private lecturer Dr. Valesco Mann explained the current guidelines for cardiac resuscitation. Participation in the "Katretter" initiative requires first aid training of at least nine hours and an annual four-hour training that the district of Gießen regularly offers free of charge.

Need of stable side position

Another important aspect of first aid is the right handling of unconscious people, as explained on the website of the German Red Cross. In the event of unconsciousness and sufficient breathing, the data subject should be brought into the stable side position to keep the airways free. This is crucial to prevent vomit or blood from getting into the airways and can cause suffocation.

The stable side position ensures that liquids can drain away, which represents a life -saving procedure in an emergency. The ability to react quickly and competently in an emergency is essential for all “catetters” in the district of Gießen, which are actively committed to security in their community.
