– We are on Eldorado Beach. The location for shooting was not chosen by chance. The opening of the swimming season is just around the corner. As you know, in water it can cramp your leg, and in the sun it can hurt your head. Vacationers themselves can provide first aid even before the doctors arrive. It’s important to know how.
Resuscitator Alexandra Cherkaeva told us about the rules of first aid. In case of sunstroke, a person must be moved to the shade, and if the victim is pulled out of the water and he does not show signs of life, artificial respiration is necessary.

Courses on the rules of first aid for everyone are held, for example, at the Training Center of the regional emergency medical care and disaster medicine station. And for schoolchildren, medical students and traffic police officers regularly conduct thematic lessons at a variety of sites in the region.
