First Aid can save a life!!!

Hi everyone!!!

How are you all???

As usual, Monday I have my assessment. Really I don't have time to blog. But am unable to control myself. So I will just write a small content.

Today I attended Emergency Rescue Team's meeting. They taught us about first aid.

The main focus was on how to perform CPR-Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation.

There are few important steps.

1) We have to check for consciousness. This can be done using "TAP AND SHOUT". We have to tap the shoulder of the victim and shout in this ears "Jack are you ok? Jack are you ok?".

2)We have to check their respiration.This can be done by feeling the hot air from their nose.

3)We have to check their heart beat. How can you check heartbeat? Many of you will be thinking that we could feel the pulse at the victim's wrist and check the heartbeat.But to feel the pulse at wrist is tedious.We are not doctors. So the proper way is to check it at the neck.

4)Now it's time to do compressions.

30 compressions:2 rescue breaths

                           


Before giving rescue breath, remember one golden rule: "HEAD TILT,CHIN LIFT" and another guideline is we have to pinch the victim's nose while giving rescue breath.

This could save precious lives if performed at the right moment and in the right way.

This 30 compressions and 2 rescue breath can be done nearly five times or till the arrival of the rescue team.

                          

While performing there is a chance of rib breaking.But that is not a problem.Life is more important.

Then another fatal situation is choking.This happens when food get struck in the windpipe.
Such a situation will lead to death in ten minutes if the food material is not removed from the windpipe.To remove that food particle,we have to perform abdominal thrust.
                       
                           


If you see anybody's finger or any other part being cut from the body,there is a chance to attach it back,if it is taken to the hospital in one hour time(golden hour).So you have to take that part,put inside cool water and take it to the hospital along with the victim asap.

Last but not the least.Please wear helmet while driving two wheeler.Helmet plays a vital role in saving your life at the time of accident.

HELMET is to protect the following parts:
H-Head
E-Eyes
L-Lips
M-Mouth
E-Ears
T-Tongue

                                              

Please learn all these first aid actions so that you could save anyone at anytime.Nothing is precious than human life!!!
