The climbing harness often saves mountaineers, window cleaners or slope workers. But those who hang in the rope longer after a fall can suffer a hanging trauma. Those affected become unconscious, in severe cases they can even die. Our experts in Alpine emergency medicine have carried out an experiment with 20 climbers and hanged the study participants in the rope for up to 60 minutes on a climbing harness. In 30 percent of cases, there was almost unconsciousness during hangin...g. The Recommendations of the experts: immediately disconnect the affected person from the rope and put it into the horizontal position! After the loss of consciousness, the circulatory standstill can occur very quickly. If hanging out is not possible immediately, it is advisable to move your legs and put the affected in a horizontal position as possible, thereby delayed or delay the circulatory breakdown. Can be avoided. The tests were carried out together with the Bergrettungsdienst im AVS and the Medizinische Universität Innsbruck at the headquarters of the state fire brigade school in vilpian. here you can find the full news about the study: https://bit.ly/2NntFTh here you can read the technical article: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00421-019-04126-5
