Wat te doen tijdens het wachten
Heavy bleeding
Press firmly on the wound with a clean cloth. Keep pressing — do not lift to check. Raise the limb above the heart if possible.
Suspected fracture
Do not move the limb. Immobilise with anything rigid (rolled magazine, stick) and padded fabric. Do not give food or drink in case surgery is needed.
Breathing difficulty
Sit the person upright leaning slightly forward. Loosen tight clothing. Stay calm and call 1990 immediately.
Severe allergic reaction
Use the person’s adrenaline auto-injector if they carry one. Lay them flat, raise legs if no breathing problem. Call 1990 right now.
