Emergency presentation
The emergency representation , realistic emergency representation (RND), realistic accident representation (RUD) or realistic accident and emergency representation (RUND) is a specific area of responsibility in the context of disaster control , civil defense , the fire brigade , the youth preparedness of the aid organizations, the rescue service and the Policing .
The emergency presentation is carried out by many aid organizations, such as the Malteser Aid Service , the German Life-Rescue Society , Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund , the German Red Cross or the Johanniter Accident Aid . Nonetheless, cross-organizational exercises are not uncommon (on the actor's side), on the contrary, at least in large-scale exercises for disaster control, they are rather the rule. Many clubs always like to come back to a realistic representation of an accident, for example when it comes to checking fire attendants and the emergency paramedics. But organizations like the police also make use of the RUDIs (Realistic Accident Actors) to learn new things in emergency care.
aims
The aim of the emergency presentation is to allow emergency services to train as realistically as possible in the context of their training and their regular exercises, according to the motto "imparting knowledge through self-awareness".
history
The origins of the emergency presentation can be found in the time of the Second World War . The British Army hired professional actors to prepare Army medics for the sight of serious injuries. In Great Britain, Denmark and Switzerland the first documents were created in 1944 (in France: 1950; in Sweden: 1953) and aids were developed that specifically relate to the realistic representation of wounds and are used here.
In the Federal Republic of Germany, after the initial use of injury cards, moulages in the form of rubber dummies were initially used from around 1951 .
From the German Red Cross Youth first time the "leaves over realistic representation of the accident" was published in 1954 (JRK). They were used as one of the bases for JRK annual competitions, which took place from the district level through the administrative district and federal state to the federal level. In 1955 a DRK brochure followed, which was reprinted several times.
With the make-up box "Mehlem 64", which was named after the seat of the former DRK federal school in Mehlem , the emergency presentation was significantly improved and supported. Further additions followed in 1965 and 1985.
In 1984 the DRK started to establish a nationwide training in realistic accident representation. A first guide was created in 1995, a manual was published in 1996 and in 1997 a guide for the "RUD advanced training course" was adopted.
The current training document is the "Emergency Presentation Manual", which appeared in its first edition in 2013.
At the DRK in the GDR , the first uniform training documents were created and distributed in the early 1960s. The training took place in a 22-hour course based on the "RU / K range DRK" make-up range from Coloran.
method
makeup
Applying make-up to wounds and injuries is an essential part of the emergency presentation. Realistic wounds etc. are modeled with theater make-up.
Tools
- spatula
- Sponges
- brush
materials
There are a lot of materials for this like for example
- Fake blood
- Special make-up wax or kit
- Make-up palettes (skin color / colored)
- Fat color
- vaseline
- powder
Represent
Another important part of the emergency presentation is the presentation. Injuries and illnesses are acted out here. This particularly includes the reaction to the helpers. A performer must know how to react to a certain action by the helper. Therefore, with many injuries, it is essential to employ experienced actors and not 'novices'. If the focus of an exercise is on the medical care of the performer, medical knowledge is an important requirement for the performer. However, the playing of those affected, i.e. not injured people, is also part of the presentation. Since these people are rarely or little made-up, acting skills are all the more important here.
props
The use of props is essential for the presentation of certain case studies. These include, for example, knives for cuts or stab wounds, broken glass or blind people's bandages when depicting blind people. These are special theater items because the risk of real injury would be far too high.
Special effects are not part of the emergency display. The risk of someone actually injuring themselves is far too high. The necessary funds are also often not available. In the case of the emergency presentation, only the emergency itself and the action are important, but not an event full of action.
