Culture trains its staff in first aid: "So that tourists and users feel cared for and protected."
The workshop was conducted by specialists from the "Medical Emergency Regulatory Center" of the SSY
Mérida, Yucatán, November 8, 2023. Cultur, led by Mauricio Díaz Montalvo, in coordination with the Medical Emergency Regulatory Center (CRUM) of the Yucatán Health Services, offered a "Basic First Aid Course" aimed at the staff working in the first department and Sefotur, so that they can learn, understand, and apply care to users in case of an accident or sudden illness, taking into account national protocols.
During the workshop, attendees practiced scenarios such as attending to a person who has fainted, bandaging in case of fractures or other types of injuries, and Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), among others.
This type of training is of great importance as it adds value to the service that Cultur offers to the thousands of users it attends to daily in its managed service units such as stops, museums, ecological reserves, cinemas, convention centers, etc.
It is crucial that anyone who has suffered an accident or has a health emergency knows that they will receive prompt attention... That they feel protected and cared for; this is the objective - expressed Víctor Hugo Falcón López, trainer from CRUM.
This course has already been provided to the staff working in the tourist stops managed by Cultur. It took place starting at 9 am in Cinema Room 2 of Siglo XXI and lasted approximately 4 hours.
The speakers included José Germán Cisneros, Training Coordinator for the Yucatán Health Services; Víctor Hugo Falcón López, trainer from CRUM; Denis Adrián Soberanis Blanco and Erick Castañeda Jiménez.
During the workshop, attendees learned about the following aspects: Concept of first aid and first responder, assessment of an accident scene, phases of trauma, biosafety rules, human anatomy, vital signs assessment, primary assessment of a person with health issues, how to act in case of emergencies depending on the scenario, concept of cardiac arrest and how to identify and respond to it, and how to act in the case of airway obstruction by a foreign object.
The training was organized by Gilberto Huidobro Avila and Roger Adrián Mex Uuh, security manager of Cultur and paramedic coordinator, respectively. Paramedics from Cultur Teresa Evelin Hau Pech, Alonzo Beytia Pacheco, José Antonio Romero Xool, and Josué Martín Vera Castillo also supported as assistants.
