Abstract: The article considers legal and regulatory of the Russian Federation framework issues of first aid treatment in an emergency. The authors provide insight into the basic normative documents that determine the powers of personnel admitted to the emergency zone including military and State Fire-Fighting Service personnel, members of accident rescue units and services. As a result of the analysis of regulatory documents, the authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to bring the existing regulatory frame… Show more

The paper examines some problems of criminal law qualification of first aid — providing help in lifethreatening and health-threatening conditions before the provision of medical care by the individuals whose duties include providing such care. The author notes a significant imbalance in the coverage of this problem in comparison with studies on the topic of iatrogenic crime. The purpose of the paper is to identify the main problems of qualification of non-providing first aid by an individual obligated to provide such aid, as well as ways to solve them. Having studied a few scientific papers on this topic, having conducted a comprehensive analysis of domestic legislation, its historical, logical and linguistic interpretation, the author identified three main problems. The first problem is connected with the inclusion of the individuals who may and are obliged to provide first aid in the subject composition of Article 124 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation by many scholars (in addition to doctors): analysis of the logic of the development of domestic criminal and other legislation indicates the depravity of such a point of view. The second problem is related to the terminological disparity in the Russian law: to designate the duties of individuals who may and are obliged to provide first aid, various terms are used (“provide”, “ensure”, “take measures”). All these terms contain different scope of such obligations, which directly affects the criminal law qualification. To demonstrate this fact, an analysis of judicial practice for the period from 2010 to the 2020s was carried out, which made it possible to identify a third problem: unjustified imputation by the courts of failure to provide first aid. As their solution, in addition to organizational measures aimed at improving the skills of first aid subjects, courts and investigative bodies, the author proposes amendments to Article 124 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the universalization of the norms of Russian law concerning first aid.

Distance assistance for first aid in trauma: literature review and a draft of the dispatcher algorithm

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Being a common cause of death and disability, injuries remain a highly relevant global public health problem. In Russia, injuries hold one of the leading positions in the structure of mortality of the population, causing significant social and economic losses for the country. While the likelihood of saving lives and preventing severe complications in injuries largely depends on the ability of witnesses of the incident to early and correctly provide first aid (FA) to the victims, the actual frequency of providing FA remains low. A promising way to involve untrained people in the process of providing FA is to remotely instruct witnesses of the incident by emergency dispatchers on how to give FA. This article discusses international experience of dispatcher assistance for FA in trauma and presents a draft of a universal Russian-language algorithm for remote dispatcher interviewing and advising witnesses of the incident on provision of FA in trauma, that was developed taking into account the current Russian and international guidelines. The algorithm is proposed for further appraisal and implementation in the practical work of emergency dispatchers as a basic component of the federal program of dispatcher assistance for FA.

Relevance. Timely competent provision of first aid by fire-fighters and rescuers can minimize the complications of injuries related to road traffic accidents, thereby supporting the lives of victims until the arrival of an ambulance team. Effective first aid training of the Emercom employees is a prerequisite for reducing mortality from road accidents at the pre-hospital stage.Intention. To analyze preparedness for first aid provision in the Udmurt Republic (Izhevsk city) among the EMERCOM of Russia employees directly involved in the elimination of the consequences of road accidents.Methodology. 199 employees of the Emercom of Russia were surveyed in the Udmurt Republic (Izhevsk) to assess their preparedness for the first aid provision based on a specially developed questionnaire.Results and Discussion. When processing the questionnaire data, it was found that 46.7 % of the respondents consider their knowledge and skills to be sufficient for providing first aid to victims of road accidents, 53.3 % are not satisfied with their practical skills. Before the arrival of medical workers, first aid was always provided to the injured by 10.5 %, sometimes by 31.2 % of the respondents. When tested on first aid issues, on average, each employee gave (73.1 ± 1.1) % correct answers. Periodically, 45.2 % of the EMERCOM of Russia employees practiced their skills in first aid on dummies.Conclusion. The results of the study showed the need to improve the regular training on the first aid among EMERCOM of Russia employees: to use dummies and simulators more widely. The data obtained can be used in planning the interagency interaction of services involved in the elimination of the consequences of road accidents, developing a work program for extended first aid for EMERCOM of Russia employees.
