首份國際急救指南，實證為本成就急救學里程碑

First evidence-based international first aid guidelines – a milestone of first aid science

紅十字會與紅新月會國際聯合會（下稱“國際聯合會”），於今年二月推出了首份國際急
救指南──《2011年國際急救與復蘇指南》，首次以科學實證的方法將急救技術作出系
統性回顧和指引，香港紅十字會也派出專家，代表香港及中國紅十字會參與制定的工
作，意義重大。

《2011年國際急救與復蘇指南》的誕生，始於2008年國際聯合會參與了由國際急救學諮
詢委員會和美國紅十字會共同主持的策略協作計劃，由九個不同地區派出專家共同制
定，團隊首次採取實證為本的方法，對科學文獻進行了系統回顧，以醫學研究數據為
基礎，對常用急救技術內容的科學證據進行評估和分級，建議最有效的急救技術，也
調整了過去大眾對某些急救方法的謬誤。

In February 2011, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies (IFRC) launched its first international first aid guidelines – the International
First Aid and Resuscitation Guidelines 2011. It is the first time the IFRC developed
first aid practice using evidence-based findings to review existing first aid techniques.
The HKRC nominated her first aid expert to represent both Hong Kong Red Cross and
Red Cross Society of China to help establish the guidelines, making its birth more
meaningful.

The establishment of the International First Aid and Resuscitation Guidelines 2011
was rooted in 2008 when the IFRC participated in a strategic collaboration with the
International First Aid Science Advisory Board, which was co-chaired by the American
Red Cross. Nine experts nominated by different zones joined hands to develop the
guidelines. The participating team conducted a thorough review of the scientific
literature and medical research data, as well as evaluating and grading the level of
scientific evidence on common first aid practices. The guidelines finally recommend
the most effective lifesaving techniques and are able to correct some public’s fallacies
of first aid practices.
