Behavior in life-threatening situations that may occur on tourist routes

Behavior in life-threatening situations that may occur on tourist routes (i.e. fainting, bites ) Collapse refers to a situation when there has been no loss of consciousness. Fainting, on the other hand, is associated with short-term loss of consciousness and is caused by temporary hypoxia of the brain. If you witness an incident, try to support the victim to mitigate his fall. If you have not witnessed the incident, assess the situation and safety, place the victim on hard ground, clear the airways and check whether the victim is breathing. If the injured person is not breathing, begin resuscitation. If the injured person is breathing but stays unconscious, place the injured person in a recovery position. Call an ambulance if the victim does not regain consciousness, or has suffered an injury. Control the victim's breathing. Do not give the victim anything to drink or eat (risk of choking). Protect the victim from excessive cooling or overheating. After regaining consciousness, if possible, ask the victim "what happened" "how can you help him?". During wanderings, a sting or bite may occur. If possible, wash the wound with a soapy water, remove the sting and secure the wound with a sterile dressing. In the case of a snake bite, we can additionally immobilize the limb , and put a tourniquet above the wound. Instruct the injured person about the need for a medical consultation.
