A computer simulation of a bomb explosion in a shopping mall showed that bleeding control kits should not be placed at building exits. The research was published in the journal Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness.
In the event of an accident or terrorist attack, others can provide first aid until doctors arrive. To increase the chances of success, public spaces must be equipped to stop heavy bleeding. But so far there have been no suggestions as to where it should be placed.
In a new study, scientists created a model that shows how thousands of people would move through the building and what kind of injuries they would suffer if a bomb exploded in a shopping mall. Analysis has shown that it is best to place bleeding control kits in two or more locations in the room. It is also important not to place them near entrances. The basic principle is that the equipment can be reached in 90 seconds or less. In an emergency situation where minutes count, easy access to equipment can be a key factor in survival, the authors noted.
