they had no hippocrates (doctors) so they could not treat it

it causes a hematoma. Yes it does, but it also causes hemoconcentration & hemolysis.
If a tourniquet is at high enough pressure and left on long enough, the tissues distal to the tourniquet may develop ischemia and gangrene, resulting in loss of those tissues.

The torniquet is a last resort. Using a tourniquet is likely to result in the loss of a limb. First you have to try direct pressure, elevate the wound, pressure points, and maybe using a hemostatic agent to stop the bleeding. If all else fails then use a tourniquet. A tourniquet is used most of the times in conjunction with a bandage and a dressing.

Check their level of responsiveness. Shout "hey can you hear me?" and squeeze their shoulder. No response then send someone to call 911 IMMEDIATELY while you begin chest compressions.

The 2010 American Heart Association CPR guidelines state C-A-B (Circulation, Airway, Breathing) as the most important. This differs from regular first aid in which the order is A-B-C. Research has shown that immediate compressions are beneficial and can deliver oxygen to the brain.

If you DON'T have a CPR Mask DO NOT do rescue breaths (unless its a family member). The risk of infection is too great. Continue with compression only CPR until help arrives.

If you are by yourself, stop CPR after 2 minutes and go call 911.

I strongly recommend you take a first aid or CPR course.

well sorry but this website does not have the answer to this question.sorry for ur inconvience

A lightly applied tourniquet is used to engorge your veins prior to venipuncture. While a tourniquet can be used to stop catastrophic blood loss, it rarely is used for this and probably should be used less than it is. Here's why: If you have a bleeding forearm, a tourniquet proximal to the wound can be cranked down to stop ALL bloodflow. The good news is the bleeding has stopped. The bad news is all the blood distal to the tourniquet is quickly deoxygenating, and the blood and the tissue it was feeding is now in the process of dying. So are agents of the immune system in that area. And, as there's an open wound, the risk if infection is high, and increases every second. There quickly comes a point where the contents of the forearm below the tourniquet are quite septic. At this time, releasing the tourniquet floods a compromised body with a surprisingly heavy bacterial and viral load as well as a quantity of deoxygenated blood which will oxygenate very quickly indeed, which is clearly undesirable. The alternative is amputation. If there were no alternative, we could discuss this in sepulchral tones and figure we're saving a life at the cost of a limb. But we aren't. Nearly ANY wound on an extremity can be controlled by direct pressure. This includes guillotine amputations and a variety of other horrors. I imagine that somewhere out there, there's a wound so bad that I'd need to tourniquet it, but then I'd have to wonder if even a tourniquet would be enough? At that rarified point, there may be no good answer. In short, once the staple of battlefield medicine, the tourniquet is rarely used in a first aid context except for venipuncture nowadays.

Usually once you have half filled the last test tube. Allowing pressure inside the vein to drop to normal before withdrawing the needlle will help minimize bleeding and bruising at the venipuncture site.

Well your a idiot if you don't know this but you squeeze your butt cheeks together!

Heart related emergency generally occurs due to blockage in arteries and can lead to death in some severe conditions. There are various factors which affect the severity of symptoms such as gender, age, immunity and medical conditions etc.

The very initial symptoms of a heart related emergency is Vomiting, chest pain, shortness of breath, lightheadness, extreme fatigue etc.

* Holy Family Hospital was established in 1927 by the Christian mission of Philadelphia at Murree Road Rawalpindi. It was designed by an Italian architect, prisoner of World War 2. * The hospital was shifted to the present building in 1946. * It was taken over by Punjab government in 1977 and affiliated with Rawalpindi Medical College as a teaching hospital. * Bed strength was raised from 200 to 450 in the same building and then to 510 beds. * Initially there were departments of Surgery, Medicine, Ophthalmology, Gynaecology/ obstetrics and Otorhinolorynology existed, later on, the department of paramedics, radiology, pathology and dentistry was added. * In 1997, the plan for the construction of the new block was completed and construction started. It is a C- shaped four story building constructed on the grounds of HFH. * ** In 200 most of the civil works were completed and most of the departments started shifting to this new building with most modern and sophisticated facilities. Hence the hospital was expanded and officially started functioning. ** The new building has been provided with elevators and a ramp was constructed for easy approach of patients to different floors of this building. ** The new block is now fully operational. It is equipped with the state of the art equipment including MRI and DRA (Biplane Digital Subtraction Angiography) were installed in 2005. ** Holy Family Hospital was granted autonomy in June 1998 under Punjab Medical and Health Institutions Act 1986, and on July 01, 1998 it was declared as an autonomous hospital. ** After the autonomy, well equipped theaters were started. State of the art operation theaters were constructed having the latest facilities of motorized operation tables, closed circuit TV, ceiling suspended system compromising of operating microscope, patient monitors, anesthesia apparatus and ventilators. ** Surgery department is an institute par excellence. The department plays major emphasis in the research activities and has participated in national and international research activities. ** Surgical unit 2 has played a pioneering role in introducing the concept of telemedicine in Pakistan, its initiative was taken in 1998 and faculty has been trained in multiple centres of USA. ** This hospital has the distinction that its medical unit 1 has been selected as the first centre of diagnosis and treatment of Hepatitis B and C under the Prime Ministers Hepatitis Control Programme. The patients are sent to China for liver transplantation. ** The department of physical rehabilitation and training (PRTC) was established in 2005 after the rehabilitation of earth quake victims. It is a joint venture of RMC and HDF. ** Rawalian Burn unit has been set up in 2006 having its separate ICU. ** Separate ICUs are made for Medical and Surgical departments. There is also a separate CCU. ** School of Midwifery/ general nursing is also working in this institute and hundreds of students are being trained every year. Nursing school is now shifted to the new building. ** Diagnostic facilities of radiology and pathology are also available in the hospital. ** At present more than 100 FCPS/ MS are attached and being imparted training in different fields in HFH. ** A laundry plant has been installed. ** A new central supply and sterilization department is now functioning. ** Blood bank and thalaseamia center are also present. ** The hospital has central air conditioning. ** Human Resource Development Committee has been formed. ** Nephrology unit has been established. ** Mortuary having 16 cabinets and 2 post mortem tables is yet to start functioning. ** For proper disposal of human wastes in Rawalpindi hospitals, the Punjab government gave administrative sanctions for installation of incinerator at HFH which has been functioning since 2007.

Tourniquets are considered dangerous for several reasons. However, the with proper training and application they can be one of the most effective life saving devices in an emergency care givers arsenal. Anyway here's a few answers to your question:

1) Immediately after the application of a tourniquet everything distal to the site is cut off from it's blood supply and is no longer being oxygenated. This WILL lead to cell death and nerve damage.

2) Without blood flowing through the injured extremity, the blood remaining stagnant within it will begin to clot. If these clots aren't removed or dissolved and the tourniquet isn't removed properly(preferably in a controlled hospital setting) they can enter the circulatory system and block vessels which can cause all kinds of problems(stroke, cardiac arrest, etc).

3) Toxins, caused by cell waste, build up in the blood below to the tourniquet. The patients natural waste disposal might be overwhelmed after the tourniquet is removed, leading to organ and respiratory failure.

These are the major complications with tourniquet use. I hoped it helped a little bit.

They are used in emergency medicine to see which hospital is closer.

That's just it, you can't see inside them with you're special X-Ray vision. The only way to check of internal injuries is through

* bruising (pooling of blood internally),

* bulging of any portion of the body containing internal organs,

* pulsating masses,

* pain either through palpation (or the patient may be able to tell you right off the bat that they are in pain)

* MOI (mechanism of injury) What caused their injuries?

* not being able to breathe or take in adequate breaths

* signs of shock

You can assess the patient to come to a conclusion that they possibly have internal injuries, but you will never know that for sure. The only way to find out if they truly have internal injuries is to get them to a hospital ASAP and let them use their technology and procedures to determine that. EMS can save the lives, hospitals (Definitive Care) keeps them alive.

This is very difficult to answer as there are numerous factors that need to be taken into account. What type of slug, your medical history as well as what substance, amount and concentration of what you were drinking.

In rare causes, a slug can cause meningitis, a condition that causes swelling of the meninges (the covering of the brain and spinal cord). This is potentially life threatening and can cause death if not treated early.

If you did not experience any other adverse symptoms apart from becoming unconscious or semi-conscious, it is most likely the effect of the alcohol.

You should see equal chest rise and fall bilaterally, and the patient should show signs of improvement, such as turning from cyanotic to pink.

About 6 years in Medical school and another 6 years training as Internship and Residency

In the United States medical educational system, there are two tracks to become board eligible for Pediatric Emergency medicine. The most common route is to complete a residency in Pediatrics and then a fellowship in Pediatric Emergency medicine. The less common track is a residency in Emergency medicine and then a fellowship in Pediatric Emergency medicine. Both tracks will make you eligible to become board certified in Pediatric Emergency Medicine.

To intubate is to insert a tube into an orifice of the body in order to remove from the body, or to supply to the body, some liquid or gas.

For example, in an emergency, if air is required for the lungs, intubation is done via the nose or the mouth.

Intubation is a delicate medical procedure which is carried out by suitably qualified and trained medical professionals such as paramedics, doctors and surgeons.

Basically, omission is neglecting to do something and commission is doing something. The two words together are often associated with ethics and sin. Is it okay to just never do anything bad (omission) or must you also do good things (commission) to be a good member of society. Or in the religious context, is it okay to do good things (charitable acts) if you neglect to do those things that are expected of you (praying, going to church, etc.).
