Helmet Removal Assistance

Procedure

When removing helmets, especially in emergency situations, assistance may be required from bystanders. Follow these steps:

  • Bystander: Assist the first responder by following their commands carefully, even if they have limited knowledge.

By collaborating effectively, the helmet can be safely removed without causing harm to the patient.
