What are smartlocks by Ford?
Smartlock is the trademark name for the electronic immobilisation/keyless entry system fitted to Ford Falcon models from the EBII to the AUI! What this system is is a remote keyless entry system and electronic engine immobilisation system factory fitted in those models between the two mentioned which uses a three digit rolling code in the ECU and the embedded code in the tip of the key - if two of the three digits match, the engine will start! If not, no start!
What should you do if you get injured by a Cone Shell?
Pressure immobilisation first aid should be applied and left in place until resuscitation facilities are available. This is a medical emergency. Assisted ventilation may be needed.

How can a dislocation be cured?
Support and Immobilisation, eg. for a leg pad round it with blankets do not try to relocate it. Advanced first aiders may be qualified to give analgesic gas (entonox) for pain relief).
What can be used to immobilize fracture sites?
Fractures are usually immobilised by plaster cast, nails, wires, plates and screws and special nail and plates for hip fractures. The site and type of fracture will determine the type of materials used for immobilisation.
What are safety pins used for in a first aid kit?
Safety pins in the first aid kit are primarily used to hold and secure bandages. Although you may find safety pins in the first aid kit, especially with the triangular bandages, they are no longer used as much. Today, there are safer and more efficient techniques of securing a bandage such as taping, tying and tucking. However, the presence of safety pins in the first aid kit comes in useful when an improvised arm sling is used or when immobilisation is required.
What is open treatment of a fracture?
First the wound is cleaned. Then the fracture is reduced, ie, the limb is manouvered so that the bones get aligned again. Then, if needed, surgery is done to hold the ends in place while healing.Plates and screws, pins, even external fixtures may be used.If external fixtures aren't used, a cast will be put on to support the limb while healing.The patient will usually also be put on antibiotics to prevent infections from taking place.how to treat am open fracture
How do you deal with a simple fracture?
It depends on the bone that was fractured. Treatment for simple closed non-displaced long bone fractures would be immobilisation. Simple fracture of the frontal bone of the skull touching the frontal sinuses would include preventive antibiotics. Simple fracture of a rib would be treated with pain medication. Simple fracture of a vertebra would require a corset. So there is no on single correct answer.
What is the Haines recovery position?
The HAINES Recovery Position is a position designed to reduce lateral cervical flexion for all 'unconscious, suspected spinal injured' patients who need airway and spinal protection where there is a lack of spinal immobilisation equipment readily available. eg in a pre-hospital environment prior to the arrival of trained Paramedics. It is also suitable in a multiple casualty scenario where the 'Mechanism of Injury' leads you to suspect a potential spinal injury and the available resources are unable to cope. This position has been clinically researched and benchmarked against the Lateral Recovery position where it has clearly shown to offer significant reductions in cervical movement. Finally, this recovery position was recognised and recommended for use by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Red Cross in 2005.
