First Aid

The Glasgow Coma Scale is a method of quantifying neurological dis-impairment by assigning values to eye actions, verbal responses, and motor skills. Possible values range from 15 (alert and unimpaired) to 3 (deep coma or death). A Glasgow of 4 is indicative of significant coma or neurological impairment.

First Aid for Dora was created in 1923.

I find a hammer is always useful

above heaet level

First go find a friend to pull preasure on it

then damp it with baby oil, butter, soap.......

and man up and give it as much as you can.

It may be sore and may feel that if your fingure is dying,

relax it wont just put ice

P.S get help from the the hospital right after you put all of your best to rip it off.

Dont try to melt it off.

your finger can fall off if it is blocking circulation

Sprains vary in how long they take to heal, but in my own personal experience, I regain decent movement without pain in just over a week, and am fully healed by the middle of the second week.

Don't keep using the sprained joint, if at all possible. Sprains are not like breaks in that they do NOT heal back stronger. This also means you could easily re-injure it at a later date, so keep that in mind when doing whatever caused the initial sprain.

I don't know how detailed an answer you want, but here's the overview:

Organophosphates irreversibly bind to the enzyme acetycholinesterase. Acetylcholinesterase is responsible for breaking down acetylcholine in the body. Acetylcholine is part of the mechanism that causes muscle contractions. At normal bodily levels, this allows us to move, breathe, and digest food. However, if the enzyme that breaks it down (acetylcholinesterase) is chemically bound to something else (organophosphates) then acetylcholine builds up in the body. This can cause muscle spasms, nausea (if it affects the gastrointestinal tract), seizures, difficulty breathing (if it affects the muscles that control expansion and contraction of the lungs), among other things. If exposure levels are high enough, organophosphate poisoning will cause death. I know that some treatments for organophosphate poisoning exist, but I do not know what they are, or how effective they are.

The body will continue to produce acetylcholinesterase, but if there are still unbound organophosphate molecules, they will take up this amount of enzyme as well, thus continuing the toxic effects even after exposure has been stopped.

I hope this answered your question.

If you are dealing with a serious open wound, don't screw around with over the counter stuff. Go directly to emerg and have it dealt with properly.

If it is a cut or something minor, clean the cut with warm water and soap, put a clean bandage on it. It's a lot cheaper than the fifty dollars + they charge for one little tube.

Because it provides support for your wrists as you type - instead of them 'flopping' up and down - putting strain on the joints.

You can always call 911.

It is not advised to purr rubbing alcohol on genitals. Contact a doctor if they have a injury to figure out how to best treat it.

Neosporin. Don't wash your face. Don't use lotion either. Use neosporin plus pain. Nothing else. It's fine to take a shower and get it wet but that will be the ONLY time you can get it wet.

Well, it depends how bad you have pulled it. But I remember when I pulled my hamstring, I could run through it, but it did hurt. And the more you run through it, the worse it will get. Hamstrings take a long time to heal, so I would recomend not to. You should sit down and let it rest and not put alot of pressure on it to get the quickest results.

It'll hurt - that's for sure. If it hits the stomach and only the stomach, you're probably looking at a nasty bruise and likely nothing worse. If it hits a little higher in the solar plexus, you'll have the wind knocked out of you and breathing will be hard for a little while. Solar plexus blows rarely require medical treatment, but they're pretty awful feeling. If the ball hits mid-chest / sternum, usually all you get is a bruised chest, but there have been very rare cases of this causing a fatal cardiac arrythmia -- chaning the heartbeat in a dangerous way. The key of course is to observe the victim after the injury and react to any damage or changes. I would also add that, with big hitters, best not to charge the plate.

Glucose is a simple sugar or monosacharide. It may be presented as a white powerder or solid, or in solution with sterile water.

A saline solution enema can be used to cleanse and detox the digestive system, including the bowels. It is normally made up of warm water and salt. Use this with caution since too much salt can make things worse.

You would get ride of the taste and smell of moth balls in the same way that you would do it for anything else. Some people do different things, but usually eating anything else with a strong flavor should get rid of the taste, and just use your preferred scent to get rid of the smell.

Indeed it is very important as any kind of delay in dealing with injuries can cause a lot of problem. If the people around the victim are not aware about how to act in response, it can become very difficult. Following are some reasons that tell you why it is important to have first aid training:

1 It makes people more safety aware; thereby there will be obvious reduction in the number of accidents.

2 It can obviously save lives. In case of grave injuries, immediate actions can be taken by a knowledgeable individual.

3 It will make people feel more relaxed and secure. Especially in schools and homes.

You should know your information. You should also me very through.

It's literally a pack that instantly cools by either shaking, or breaking the packet that's inside the outer packet, and mixing the ingredients together. It then, INSTANTLY, cools. Same for instant heat packs.

Depends on the severity and placement on the stomach. It can take anywhere from as little as a few minutes to five hours.

That depends on the snake. If we assume it is venomous you need to stop letting that venom into your system now! Tourniquets slow that down. You should try to get the venom out of the system fast. Cutting the area and getting the blood to drip is also good. DO NOT suck out the venom because if you have a cut lip, the venom will enter your bloodstream.

You need medical attention fast. Use the emergency services telephone number of the country you are in. e.g 999 for Britain and Australia or 911 for America
