Summary. Investigation purposes – an analysis if modern approaches to the first aid (FA) provision in cases of poisoning; a researching of normative legal regulation of FA provision in the Russian Federation; a determination of measures of first aid provision improvement; creation of the project of universal algorithm of dispatching support of first aid in cases of poisonings.

Material and methods of the investigation. Investigation materials – national and international publications about a first aid provision in cases of poisonings; international and national recommendations which characterize modern approaches to the FA provision in cases of poisonings; complexes of practical recommendations/protocols for ambulance dispatchers, including instructions for distance advising of injury witnesses on the provision of FA in cases of poisonings.

Investigation results and their analysis. A review of modern principles and approaches to the FA provision is cases of poisonings based on the analysis of national and international FA recommendations was presented; Features of normative legal regulation of FA provision in cases of poisonings in the Russian Federation were analyzed; ways of FA provision effectivity improvement were determined. A practice of distance phone advising by emergency service dispatchers of an unskilled injury witnesses on the provision of FA is discussed as a perspective direction of improvement of FA provision in cases of poisonings; a project if universal Russian language algorithm for dispatcher support of FA in cases of poisonings was presented and now is offered for further discussion.
