First Aid

You get a chest X-ray!

The foam occurs when the victim was attempting to breathe in the water. The violent gasping for breath mixes water and air enough to cause froth that builds up in the lungs and trachea, eventually leaking out the mouth.

When I dislocated my wrist at 13 I had to get surgery to pop it back Into place.. If it is a minor case a cast will be put on the wrist. The general option is to have a cast put in

place at an ortho place... Or the second option is closed surgery with a mallet.. If very bad open wrist to. Align the ligmates of the wrist them of course physical therapy.

adhesive coating that is protected by a strip of brown, waxed paper?

it's called a pain in the butt....you should then turn the other cheek...

If a coworker is being electrically shocked, do not touch them, and shut off the power.

I have no idea how it works, but it supposedly revives someone who has fainted.

The baking soda paste will cause the skin to swell and push the splinter out. It's best used after other methods, since it will make the other methods (tape, tweezers, needle) more difficult because your skin will be swollen.

Obviously below sixty, but it is not possible to gauge diastolic pressure by palpation.

The act of stinging does not kill the Brown Recluse the way stinging kills honeybees. However, the Brown Recluse typically bites humans in defense, so it's already in extremis -- it's not unusual for the spider to be discovered dead as a result of being crushed, after stinging.

Anything that comes out of the body is included in precautions such as urine, feces, vomit, saliva, sweat, tears, mucus, CSF, synovial fluid, breast milk as well as blood.

Convulsions/seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. For a bit of background, the brain is part of the central nervous system, which controls and 'instructs' the body on what to do. The brain sends these instructions out using electrical impulses and signals.

If the brain becomes confused, for whatever reason, the electrical impulses may begin to send abnormal impulses to the wrong places and via the incorrect neurons. This causes the body to get confused and results in abnormal twitching and convulsing.

People with a medical condition called epilepsy have an abnormal brain electrical activity giving rise to epileptic seizures.

Seizures/convulsions can also be caused by a brain tumour or another nervous system disorder. It is vital every seizure is reported to your medical practitioner.

If the seizure last for longer than normal, or if it is your first seizure, seek urgent medical assistance or phone for an emergency ambulance.

The IV bag is suspended above the patient to allow the fluid to be gravity fed .

No, it's not recommended that the ice makes direct contact with your skin, you will risk frostbite. If you have a foot injury that requires cold compression, place the ice inside a towel and wrap it around your foot.

The common first aid technique for a person choking is the Heimlich Maneuver

Because, somewhere in your hot, the hot line of your electrical system has come in contact with the metal pipes of your water system. This can be very dangerous, as you probably already know how electricity and water work together, but it's likely to be expensive too, as you're spending current on the water pipes. I'd call an electrician real fast.

It certainly could. While not at the top of the list, honey allergies, especially to unfiltered honey, are not at all uncommon, and manifest as you describe. If you start to react strongly, or have trouble breathing, it's 911 time. If it's just a rash, cease the honey and try an antihistamine (I like Diphenhydramine for this one). Take it as per the instructions on the box.

possibly fractured rib. Maybe its digging into a nerve or something. Might pay to see a doctor

You need an Epipen prescribed by your doctor.

if a rotwhiler bites your mother your should take her to the emergency room to get rabies shots and call the police and tell them about the dog

I'm going to have to make a few assumptions here: * I assume you're discussing the Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and not just Dengue Fever (which manifests without the haemorrhagic features). * I further assume you're identifying "stage 2" as the point in DHF, after about 10 days, when hemorrhagic symptoms manifest. If that's the case, hypovolemia is one of the more dangerous effects and presumably could be diagnosed by a lowered BP, at which point you'd consider transfusing serum or perhaps whole blood, as conditions allow. Fluid replacement is key to the patient's survival in this phase. More, while DHS has no direct antagonist, palliative measures are very effective, with CDC saying that untreated DHS has an M&M of nearly 85%, while with treatment, this drops to 1%. DHS is managed by vector control.

Points to take into consideration: 1. We cannot stop bleeding, we can only control it. 2. Make sure of your own safety by wearing latex gloves, vinyl gloves or even plastic bags - protect yourself from diseases like Aids and hepatitis. 3. Bleeding is controlled by covering the wound with a bandage - the blood soaks into the bandage and will coagulate because of the platelets, (the glue in the blood). If the blood starts to seep through the first dressing, apply another on top, doing so prevents you disturbing any clotting that has allready happened. 4. Always cover injusies to prevent infection. Bleeding of an extremity, (arm or leg), can be controlled first by applying pressure to the injury preferably with a bandage or a clean cloth. If this does not slow the bleeding, elevate the limb higher than the heart so gravity assisting - if you suspect a fractures bone do not attempt to elevate. If this still doesn't control the bleeding you may apply pressure to the pressure point, (squeeze the artery that supplies blood to that limb - ARM, inside between the bicep & tricep; LEG, in the groin) Bleeding from a cavity, (head, thorax, abdomen, pelvic), is the same treatment as for the extremity except for applying pressure - If you apply pressure to say the head, and there is a scull fracture that you do not know of, you may push bonny fragments into the brain.

I think you are looking for salve.

Hi There,

I have this problem too. Stopped taking the medication due to bad outbreak of hives - raised itchy bumps all over my back and tummy.

They have reduced severity since cessation of the tablets. I'm still experiencing outbreaks though.

When will it stop?

How long does it take for the medication to leave your system?

Answer No. It has no proven benefit for swollen feet. You should see a medical doctor, because swollen feet when persistent may indicate serious health problem.

For temporary comfort, epsom salts in cool water may help.
