Correct answer
- CCuando no haya sido posible solicitar ayuda sanitaria por ningún medio.When it has been impossible to call for medical help by any means.
Injured people should be transported by ambulance. However, in cases of extreme urgency you may use a private vehicle: - When it has been impossible to call for medical help by any means. - When the person's condition gets seriously worse and medical help does not arrive. - When more than 30 minutes have passed since you called for help and the injured person has bleeding that cannot be stopped, increasing signs of shock, or a tourniquet.
