450. 転倒
転倒は、軽い打撲・切り傷から骨折、頭部、脊椎の重傷まで引き起こすことがあります。衝突後、車両から降りる際、自転車・オートバイから、または滑りやすい状況で起こることがあります。重い転倒後に頭、首、背中の負傷が疑われる場合は、直ちに危険がある場合を除き不必要に動かさず、状態を確認し、必要なら救急サービスへ連絡し、自分が行える範囲で応急手当をします。
What should you do after someone has a serious fall?
Make sure the area is safe, check the person’s condition and call emergency services when a serious injury is possible. Avoid unnecessary movement if a head, neck or back injury is suspected.
Should you help someone stand up immediately after a fall?
Not always. If the person has severe pain, cannot move normally, has hit their head or may have a neck, back or other serious injury, it is safer to keep them still and seek professional help.
When should emergency services be called after a fall?
Call for emergency help when there is loss of consciousness, severe bleeding, breathing difficulty, severe pain, suspected fracture, head injury or inability to move safely.
Can a person be seriously injured without obvious signs after a fall?
Yes. Head injuries, internal injuries and some fractures may not be immediately obvious. Monitor the person and seek medical attention when there is concern about their condition.
Should you move someone who may have injured their neck or back?
Avoid unnecessary movement unless there is an immediate danger, such as traffic, fire or another hazard. Follow emergency-service instructions whenever possible.
Can helmets reduce injuries from falls?
Yes. An appropriate helmet can reduce the risk or severity of certain head injuries for cyclists, motorcyclists and other road users, although it cannot prevent every injury.
