Elevating an injured limb can help with the bleeding. It also keeps it from throbing as much. If patient is in shock, you elevate the feet. That helps keep blood in the major organs and brain.

We don't provide test answers. Sorry.

simple answer is it could save someones life

a cool well ventilated area i store mine in the back garden inside a freeze box (unfrozen)

Assess the situation and possibly return fire. if it is safe enough to do so, apply the proper pressure dressing or a tourniquet. Save the small stuff for later, as this is what modern miracle drugs like antibiotics are for. Remember: M.A.R.C.H.

First thing that comes to mind would be seed ticks. If they bite and leave where they bit, not a seed tick. If it clings to the bite site then I'm guessing that's what it is. Beware....if you find one on you, chances are there are more.

i think 1st degree are you form novanet

swelling is fluid retention that has accumilated in a small area, raising the foot allows the fluid to flow back up the body. ice pack.....to cool the blood maybe?

First of all NEVER put ice on a rattlesnake bite! And the treatment would be elevate the wound and then give the victim the right antivenin(varies from snake to snake). DON'T KILL THE SNAKE THE WOUND WILL WORSEN DURING THE EXTRA TIME TAKEN TO KILL IT!!!!!

Do you honestly think that it will do anything?? Maybe it will just infect the wound because coins are dirty.

Actually - the copper penny has long been known to have bactericidal qualities - which means the heavy metal of copper inhibits the growth of bacteria. The same is true for brass - which is why so many doorknobs are made of brass, because it also has bactericidal qualities. As far as the penny's ability to ease the pain/swelling of a bee sting - removing the stinger, cleaning the wound site with soap and water, plus placing an ice pack on the wound to relieve pain and swelling are still the best tested-true methods. If abundant redness/swelling occurs and/or you feel shortness of breath, seek immediate medical attention for these are possible signs of an allergic reaction.

In re brass door knobs (which really has nothing to do with this bee sting question): door knobs were made of brass well before the role of bacteria in illness was accepted. Brass was used for its metallurgical qualities, not because it was bactericidal.

An ice compress can be anything from a plastic bag filled with ice chips to a much fancier (and more effective) poly sack filled with a gel substance that doesn't freeze at normal freezer temperatures. They're applied to the injury site, and used mostly to reduce swelling and pain in injuries, but also have a home in physical therapy and even the football locker room.

The Thoracic Diaphragm muscles the lungs open, creating a pressure differential: the air in the lungs is lower pressure than the air outside, so air rushes in. When you exhale, the opposite happens. If there are problems with the diaphragm, secondary breathing occurs with flexion of the chest and abdominal muscles. This doesn't work as well as primary breathing and it requires a lot more excercise -- and oxygen -- to do it.

The primary danger of choking is hypoxia leading to unconsciousness and death. Another danger is aspirating food into the bronchial tubes or lungs.

You shouldn't litter because this causes pollution and the sea is slowly rising because of this.

It will depend on whether or not the bone can be reset in the ER. An example of this may include a dislocation, where it fell out of its socket. Sometimes they can reset these in the ER, but most have to be reset through surgery.

The four hand seat carry is a way to carry an injured person if you do not have a stretcher. Two people are needed to do this carry. They use their arms and hands to make a seat to carry the person out.
