Visual design, presentation and imitation of the condition of the injured is the most obvious method in the function of first aid training. In this way, we gain the right and lasting knowledge of getting used to adequately reacting in real life accidents without fear and panic, and so as not to endanger ourselves and already endangered people.
In order to get a realistic impression of the presentation of an injury or condition, the following conditions should be taken into account:
1. SITUATION- It is necessary to present the situation in which the accident occurred, the mechanism of occurrence, the place where the accident occurred and where the simulants will act out the accident.
2. SIMULANT BEHAVIOR- The simulant should be provided to act as a person who is genuinely injured.
3. ART PRESENTATION OF INJURIES- In order for a wound made with the help of make-up to look real, it must correspond to all anatomical and physiological conditions.
Many human lives have been lost, many invalids and other complications have occurred due to ignorance, panic and fear, if people who seek first aid do not do it properly.
To show injuries, the sting of a person must be over 15 years of age, the simulant must know first aid because in the exercise he must adequately respond to every mistake of the first aid provider with acting. An exercise that realistically depicts an accident should not be a stage, a spectacle for spectators, but an exercise for those who are learning first aid and it is the best form of first aid training. All this must be realistic in relation to the cause and the situation, performed without exaggeration and in accordance with the type of injury, any exaggeration in acting seems unnatural and prevents the desired effect. Before starting the make-up, a simulant must be chosen, the color of the skin, so that the person is not hypersensitive – allergic – the simulant must be recognized with the type and cause of the injury that causes it. Each simulator specializes in specific injuries. The selection of simulants is done (For example, for a state of shock, we will take a person with a light complexion, PALE. Not a blush in the face).
For example, if the cause of burns is water, they cannot be 3rd and 4th degree, but only the first and second Places over the bones (cheeks and lower legs) swell quickly, while on the muscular part (thigh) the swelling will be seen later. Each injury depends on its cause, location, size, depth and other circumstances, has its own severity and manifests itself in appropriate signs.
