试论公众急救行为的法律保护

Discussion on legal protection for first aid action of the public

公众的急救行为是指在法律上对急救病人不负有急救义务和责任的事发现场“第一目击者”群体，在急救专业人员到达现场之前，自愿、无偿地对急救病人所采取的救助行为，其在性质上属于紧急情况下的无因管理。对公众的急救行为予以法律保护，即对其造成的损害后果从立法上赋予一定的责任豁免权，具有坚实的法理基础、比较法基础和社会基础。立法宜结合我国当前急救立法的现实情况，以法律条文形式附设于地方性急救法规中。

The first aid action of the public means the voluntary aid for the patient before the arrival of emergency professionals provided by the ＂first witnesses＂ at the scene who have no legal obligation or responsibility. This action belongs to negotiorum gestio in urgency. Endowing the first aid action of the public with some responsibility immunity has solid foundation in jurisprudence, comparison law and sociology. The legislation for first aid action of the public should add legal provisions to regional first aid statute based on the current reality of first aid legislation in China.
