What is the Golden Hour in a road accident? Life can be saved in 60 minutes.

The country's Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari made a statement in Parliament, which went viral. He said that our government tried to reduce road accidents, but it failed on this front. His statement also matters because more than 1.5 lakh people die in road accidents every year in India. In such a situation, how can you become an angel for people in road accidents and do you know what the golden hour is?

Golden hour is very important

Golden hour is actually the 60 minutes immediately after a road accident, in which if the patient is taken to the hospital or provided medical care, then the chances of survival of the injured person in the accident increase. The severity of his injury can also be reduced. Why is this hour so important?

During the golden hour, it is not necessary to take the person to a big hospital, rather taking him to the nearest hospital or giving him first aid is also sufficient at that time. The problem in India is that during the golden hour of a road accident, people stand in a crowd and this causes delay in the treatment of the patient.

If you want, you can save the life of the person injured in the accident by taking care of some things during the golden hour of a road accident. Let's know about them…

If you are present at the spot of a road accident, then first of all check how the injured person is responding. Can he hear you or can he save you in any way.

As a good citizen, everyone should know CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation). It is not very difficult and its learning video can be easily found on YouTube. The advantage of CPR is that it ensures adequate oxygen in the person's brain.

If you are present at the scene of the incident, you can ensure the safety of the injured person. If you are in a position to take him to the hospital, you can take the patient to the hospital, otherwise you can call someone for help.
