Practical First Aid Training Seminar

A practical seminar on providing first emergency medical aid to victims was held at the university for student volunteers and police officers of the Road Patrol Police Battalion of the Petropavl Police Department. The session was conducted by V.V. Zhuzhgov, Deputy Director of the Regional Emergency Medical Care Center.

The purpose of the training was to develop the ability to make the right decisions in extreme situations when providing first aid, as well as to build confidence in one’s abilities while working as part of a team.

In today’s environment, improving safety standards and preparedness for emergency situations requires a comprehensive approach to teaching students first aid skills. One of the most effective methods is organizing close cooperation between students and police officers when assisting victims at the scene of an incident.

Drawing on their practical experience in responding to emergencies, the police officers helped simulate real-life incidents requiring immediate first aid during the session. Students learned how to work as a team with law enforcement officers, make quick decisions, and coordinate their actions in stressful situations.

During the practical training, participants practiced assessing the victim’s condition and checking vital signs in cases of injuries, bleeding, burns, drowning, and respiratory distress. Special attention was given to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), bleeding control, and immobilization of injured limbs.

As a result of the training, the participants demonstrated the ability to respond quickly and correctly in emergency situations, using first aid supplies and following the appropriate response algorithm.
