Abstract :
Objective: The timely and accurate recording of initial information during first aid plays a pivotal role in ensuring effective emergency care and improving patient outcomes. This systematic review explores the importance of documenting initial data, such as vital signs, injury details, and incident context, and its impact on subsequent medical interventions.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across major databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library, for peer-reviewed studies published between 2016 and 2024. Studies were included if they focused on the role of initial information recording during first aid and its implications for patient outcomes. Data extraction and quality assessment followed PRISMA guidelines.
Results: Twenty studies met the inclusion criteria. Findings indicate that systematic recording of initial information during first aid significantly improves diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and overall patient survival rates. Barriers to effective data recording include lack of training, stress among responders, and absence of standardized protocols. Digital tools and structured forms were highlighted as effective solutions to improve the process.
Conclusion: The systematic recording of initial information is critical for the effectiveness of first aid and subsequent medical care. Training programs and the integration of technology in first aid protocols can enhance the accuracy and efficiency of data collection. Future research should focus on evaluating the implementation of standardized recording systems in diverse emergency settings.
Keywords: First Aid, Initial Information Recording, Emergency Care, Patient Outcomes, Systematic Review.
