Situation 1:\u00a0Victim is responsive <\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n[divider line_type=”no-line” custom_height=”25″]If the victim is responsive, there is less need for urgent immediate action.

A <\/strong>Since the victim can talk, there is no cause for concern about their airways being clear. But because of the force of the impact of the avalanche, care should be taken with the neck.

How much effort is required here depends on when the professional rescue services are due to arrive: The shorter the waiting time (helicopter on its way), the less important it is to make big changes to the victim\u2019s environment.

Victim is unresponsive (Situation 2 & 3)<\/h3>\n[divider line_type=”no-line” custom_height=”25″]In this scenario, there are two options:<\/p>\n
    \n
  • Victim breathing <\/strong>(normally)<\/li>\n
  • Victim not breathing<\/strong> (normally)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[divider line_type=”no-line” custom_height=”25″]\u201cBreathing normally\u201d means:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Once airways have been cleared if necessary (from snow, vomit etc.) and the chin has been lifted, breathing is assessed by looking, listening, and feeling for air exchange and establishing whether there is regular movement of the chest cavity at sufficient intervals (10 x\/ minute or more). If in doubt or uncertain, the victim is to be categorised as \u2018not breathing\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n[divider line_type=”no-line” custom_height=”25″]\u201cNot breathing normally\u201d means:<\/strong> Breaths are either too infrequent (fewer than 9x\/ minute), barely visible (chest does not rise and fall) or too fast (more than 30x\/ minute). If the chest rises and falls at a normal pace, but you cannot feel any breath\/ vapour against the the back of your hand, inspect and clear the airways once again from obstructions like snow, vomit etc., and check the chin is correctly lifted to extend the airways in a straight line.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]If normal breathing cannot be ascertained, CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) should be initiated.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Both scenarios require immediate appropriate action, because the victim\u2019s life is in danger. However, it is important not to rush or go into \u2018action mode\u2019, but to proceed calmly, quickly and effectively. As with any first aid situation, and in the mountains in general, slow and steady wins the race.<\/p>\n

    In contrast to situation 1 the rest of the body is excavated as fast as possible because the first aid measures in this case can only be carried out on the person if they are on level ground or a prepared area of snow (compressed).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”80px” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”50″ constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”50″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”correction-program” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” delay=”300″][vc_column_text]Situation 2: Victim is unresponsive, but breathing <\/strong>(normally)<\/p>\n[divider line_type=”no-line” custom_height=”25″]\n

    Work through the ABCDE protocol. The emphasis here is on A <\/strong>for clearing the airways from obstructions and ideally performing a chin lift (also known as head tilt chin lift).<\/p>\n[divider line_type=”no-line” custom_height=”25″]\n

    Then concentrate on B<\/strong> (breathing) by repeatedly asking yourself whether their breathing rate is still sufficient.<\/p>\n[divider line_type=”no-line” custom_height=”25″]\n

    For C <\/strong>(circulation), proceed as in Situation 1 (victim is responsive), and likewise with D <\/strong>(disability) and E <\/strong>(environment).[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][image_with_animation image_url=”3799″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]\n

Photos: argonaut.pro<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][vc_column_text]In this particular case, the airway needs to be manually assisted to remain open, and there is a risk of breathing deteriorating at any moment.<\/p>\n

    Therefore:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • The person holding the victim\u2019s head cannot move from this position.<\/li>\n
    • Attempt to put the victim into the recovery position (or on their back with the option of performing a log roll).<\/li>\n
    • Prepare for CPR (solid or compressed ground).<\/li>\n
    • Clear away any remaining snow from the victim as quickly as possible and carefully reposition them on a prepared flattened surface \u2013 also known as rapid rescue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[divider line_type=”no-line” custom_height=”25″]\n

      Thereafter, keep running through the ABCDE<\/strong> procedure and look for further injuries or abnormalities (especially bleeding in C<\/strong> \u2013 heat preservation is vital here and head injuries in D<\/strong>).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”80px” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”50″ constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”50″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”correction-program” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” delay=”300″][vc_column_text]\n

      Situation 3: Victim is unresponsive and not breathing (normally)<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]If (normal) breathing cannot be ascertained, begin CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation).<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]If the answer to the following two questions is no, you are facing a worst case scenario:<\/p>\n[divider line_type=”no-line” custom_height=”25″]\n
        \n
      • Can the victim respond? No, no response.<\/li>\n
      • Is the victim breathing? No, not breathing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[divider line_type=”no-line” custom_height=”25″]\n

        Now the following are of utmost priority:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • A<\/strong> and B breathing<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • Thoracic compressions<\/strong> in C<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[divider line_type=”no-line” custom_height=”25″]\n

          After checking for breathing, immediately begin administering rescue breaths. Use the classic mouth-to-mouth resuscitation method (even better would be using a pocket face mask)\u00a0: Carry out five rescue breaths initially. Once the five breaths have been administered, if there is someone with you to help, they should immediately start with 30 chest compressions \u2014 and continue with CPR at a rate of 30:2 compression to breath ratio (if alone, you will have to do both the breathing and compressions).<\/p>\n

          In avalanche situations it is sometimes difficult to perform thoracic compressions on the snow because the undergound needs to be firm. Ideally this would occur on a preapred surface that has been shovelled or stomped flat to compress the snow.[divider line_type=”no-line” custom_height=”25″]\n

          Resuscitation is now performed as normal using 30:2 CPR, for which three people is an ideal team size: A \u2018monitor\u2019 at the head of the victim, monitoring the situation and feeding back to the \u2018compressors\u2019. The compressors should swap positions every two minutes and work hard and fast.<\/p>\n[divider line_type=”no-line” custom_height=”25″]\n

          Effective CPR must be carefully coordinated with pauses in thoracic compression only for administering air. If there is an AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) in the vicinity, for instance at a mountain hut, lift station etc. then immediately arrange for the AED to be brought to the scene of the accident and deployed.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]Ideally, an AED should be used for all CPR attempts.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”80px” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”50″ constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”50″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”correction-program” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” delay=”300″][vc_column_text]\n

          Plain-speaking<\/span><\/h2>\n[divider line_type=”no-line” custom_height=”25″]There are a few myths on the subject of administering first aid after an avalanche burial that persist and keep doing the rounds… So here are a few hard facts:<\/p>\n[divider line_type=”no-line” custom_height=”25″]\n
            \n
          • CPR is always initiated according to the above table unless<\/strong> there is danger to rescuers, or the casualty has sustained lethal injuries (e.g. severed trunk).<\/li>\n
          • The issue of what further treatment should be administered<\/strong> is not the responsibility of first aiders.<\/li>\n
          • Prevent any further undercooling\/ hypothermia<\/strong> is of the greatest importance.<\/li>\n
          • Shivering<\/strong> is a warning sign that hypothermia is setting in, but if the shivering stops, you are facing an even bigger emergency.<\/li>\n
          • Hypothermic patients <\/strong>can be moved if necessary to take further measures (making sure they are moved in an aligned, level position).<\/li>\n
          • A \u2018breathing hole\u2019<\/strong> in the snow is not what is meant, only whether the airways (mouth\/throat) are free of snow\/ice, i.e. whether breathing is physically possible. Continue working through ABCDE as normal. When handing over to professional rescue services, carefully describe what you did in A and B in order for them to breathe.<\/li>\n
          • When administering CPR,<\/strong> the victim should be lying on their back on a hard surface, because in order to perform chest compressions it is important to have solid resistance. While organising this, only administer rescue breaths to the victim. It is better to delay the start of chest compressions than to perform inefficient compressions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
