How To Manage Medical Emergencies!

• Did you know that 80% of Nigerian adults would pour water on an unconscious patient in order to wake him up? This is totally wrong…

''Morning Stella, 

we are a group of Medical professionals (Doctors and Nurses) that came together to start teaching people on how to manage medical emergencies before they get to hospitals. We shall appreciate if you can publish this on your blog so we all can play a role in minimizing the rate of accidental deaths in Nigeria as a result of poor First Aid care.

• Did you know that 80% of Nigerian adults would pour water on an unconscious patient in order to wake him up? This is totally wrong…
• Did you know that 86% of Nigerian adults would give water to someone that is choking while eating in order to stop the choking? This is ridiculous…
• Did you also know that over 70% of adults in Nigeria would put spoon or stick in the mouth of someone convulsing in order to save him from dying? This is Laughable…
• Finally, did you know that over 65% of the adults in Nigeria would rub palm oil or engine oil on someone who has suffered from burns? This is amazing…

Survey we carried out has shown that majority of the adults in Nigeria will do the wrong thing during medical emergencies with the intent that they are trying to save lives thus, sending innocent people to their early graves. Our First Aid training is quite necessary due to the incessant careless dates that occur nowadays in schools, offices and even homes simply because the people around did not know how to help.

Studies have shown that quite a number of patients with medical emergencies brought to the hospitals die within the first 24 hrs from the time of the accident (3.6% dead on arrival) and most of the deaths are due to late presentation or due to poor First Aid care they received before Medical help arrives.

Based on all these findings, we formed Golden Hour Medics in order to help reduce the number of deaths as a result of inadequate First Aid care people receive immediately after an accident from the people around. Our First Aid training will enable you stay prepared in the event of any common medical emergency. Our team is made up of well trained and experienced Medical Doctors, Nurses, and Paramedics in Emergency Medical Services. 

We train people on how to manage the following medical emergencies:

• Unconsciousness without breathing … CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation),
• Choking while eating,
• Sudden seizure in adults and children, 
• Ingestion of poisonous or toxic substances, 
• Dislocation and fractures, 
• Burns (electric, flames, steam and chemical burns),
• Bleeding from cuts and stabs,
• Animal bites and stings,
• Head injuries etc

We shall also educate them on the importance of healthy living (regular exercise and eating healthy) and routine health checks.

Our training can be done at the comfort of their Office/School/Home or at any of our training centers around them. Our training is quite practical and comes with videos to enable our clients remember the skills with ease.

We train:

• Parents – in case their children or spouses have a medical emergency at homes,
• Older children – in case their younger siblings or parents have a medical emergency,
• School Teachers – in case their students have a medical emergency while in school,
• Nannies & Caregivers – in case the children they look after have a medical emergency,
• Corporate employees (eg Corporate guards, Restaurant staff, Airline staff, Commercial bus drivers, Hotel staff etc)  – in case any of their client, passenger or guest have a medical emergency.

Our training comes at a cost but due to the high rate of careless deaths especially among little children in crèche and Nursery schools, we have decided to train teachers from the first 10 Nursery/Primary schools that will contact us at no cost.
