On the way, the men went to a charity fair to drink coffee. At the time of the explosion, they were standing a few meters from the epicenter of the incident.
The first opinion was: what to do with others. We didn't think about ourselves then. We had to work as soon as possible. Dust rose, din, people began to scream – it's literally a second. After exchanging glances: you – drive away the civilians, I look at the wounded, – Arthur remembered.
First of all, the military medic made sure that the baby had whole main arteries, airways and chest. He noted that facial injuries are always very scary and unpleasant, but you need to respond quickly.
“I picked up the torn skin, picked up everything to get to the small neck, look at the right, left artery. At this time he screamed in pain and shock. The second reaction is that his airways work, he does not suffocate, “Arthur said.
The man noticed next to him a guy who had previously taught courses in tactical medicine in Chernihiv. Together they bandaged the child's wounds on his arm and neck This was the first time Arthur had saved a child, before he had only helped adults.
