Simulacro de TRAUMATISMO en PLAYAS DE ALMERIA (2021)

🆘 #drill #traumatism #almeria Simulation of aquatic rescue of a possible traumatism (spinal cord injury) due to jumping from the rocks in Almería Beach. It is very common to find on all beaches with rocks or cliffs people who unconsciously make dangerous jumps, believing that these areas are deep, causing hundreds of injuries a year and unfortunately many deaths. Social media doesn't help. Many of the fans of this practice that can be deadly boast of crazy things on social networks. They upload their risky jumps to their social networks and spread a bad example for young people who in many cases are not even aware of the enormous risk they could take. In this drill, the aim is to check the effectiveness of the rescue, salvage and lifeguard service on the beaches of Almería in the event of a possible injured user having jumped from the Almería beach breakwaters (San Miguel-Las Conchas, Zapillo-El Palmeral section and of Nueva Almeria). The intervention is one of the most complex for lifeguards as they have to immobilize the injured person in the water and carry out the transfer from the boat. Congratulations on the professionalism and excellent performance of all those involved in this drill by the winning company: 🚤 Rafael Antonio Guiado Rodríguez (Patron) 🆘 Jessica Gil Romero (Lifeguard) 🆘 Juan Reina Quintanilla (Lifeguard) 🆘 Pedro Jesus Fernandez Gonzalez (Lifeguard) 🆘 Diego López Sánchez (Lifeguard) 🆘 Juan Damian Jover Moya (Lifeguard) ⛑️ Manuel José Rueda García (Coordinator) 🚑 Angeles Mendez Lopez (DUE) 🚁 Pablo Escribano Camarena (Drone) 🎬 José Cordero (Edition) Almost 1,000 spinal cord injuries occur in our country each year. A high percentage is due to traffic accidents, but an important and avoidable part is caused by sports and leisure activities on our beaches. The main causes are: ⚠️ Jump into the water in shallow areas. ⚠️ Jump into the water in areas where there are rocks or other dangerous objects submerged. ⚠️ Jump headfirst into the waves. ⚠️ Dives from great heights. Rescue and lifeguard personnel on beaches must be prepared for rescue and first aid in this type of injury: prompt identification by knowing the symptoms, aquatic rescue using neck and spine immobilization techniques, if necessary, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) will be performed, and urgent transfer to the nearest hospital. Some tips to avoid these injuries on the beaches: ✅ Respect safety regulations and bathe in areas guarded by lifeguards. ✅ Take into account the meaning of flags and respect them. ✅ Always check the depth as water levels can vary (tides) ✅ Check the depth of water in the area where we are going to enter head first. As a general rule, it should be more than 1.5 meters deep, and if you launch from a height, the depth will be greater. ✅ If the water is cloudy and there is no visibility, inspect the area beforehand to check its depth and that there are no submerged elements (for example, rocks). ✅ Do not jump headfirst from too high as a bad entry technique can cause injuries just by hitting us with the water. ✅ If you dive headfirst into the waves, check that the depth after the wave is sufficient. ✅ Dive when security is complete. . . . *OTHER DRILLS* ⚓ To view other emergency drills at Marinas: https://bit.ly/3lwnsmA 🏖️ To view other beach emergency drills: http://bit.ly/2MGjSJp **CONNECT WITH ME** Subscribe to my YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2zlOvem
