What are contrainidcations and indications of using saline solution in wounds?
I don't believe there are any contraindications. Normal saline or sterile saline is usually the fluid of choice to help irrigate or debride wounds. It is usually used because it has little to no effect on the tissues.
But it is contraindicated when Acticoat products are to be used on the wound, due to the fact that Acticoat has silver in it. It is recommended that sterile water be used instead.

How long can you live for when you rupture your brachiocephalic vein?
In the field this is presents a challenge. If the first responder can control bleeding (internal, external) until the patient is in the operating room, a good vascular surgeon can save this one, so it's not necessarily instantly nor universally fatal. The answer to this question depends on the amount of blood loss. Complete severing of the subclavian, jugular or either inominate with no control whatsoever results in massive blood loss. I'd say you have max 1-3 minutes before mortality. However, anything that controls bleeding increases that time, and I would not say this injury 100% lethal. Some of the factors invovled are: * Size and margins of the rupture -- large, irregular wounds in vessels are a lot harder to control than small, clean wounds. * Location -- is it somewhere that you can get to with pressure? Is there an open wound that will facilitate access? * Is the bleed internal, external or both? * Is the vessel functionally severed?

Can you use rubbing alcohol to break a fever?
Yes you can and hospitals will use this method on occasion. Also if a child has a high fever you can cool them down in a bath tub with cold water, but please keep in contact with your family doctor before doing so.
NO DONOT LISTEN TO THIS ADVICE ABOVE, A CHILD WITH A HIGH FEVER WILL GO INTO SHOCK IF YOU PLACE THEM IN COLD WATER. GIVE THEM 2 TEASPOONS OF CHILDRENS MOTRIN EVERY TWO HOURS, THEN SWITCH TO TYLENOL,ALTERNATE THIS METHOD MAKE SURE TO KEEP THEM HYDRATED WITH PEDIALYTE OR WATER IF THEY CAN KEEP IT DOWN.
Alcohol can be applied to a child or adult to break a fever but DO NOT use large quantities of it on the body.It should be preferably applied on the bottom of the feet or other small areas.By using significant amounts on large parts of the body has the potential to cause cerebral depression if absorb which can lead to neurological deficit or even death.Also, placing a child or even an adult with a high fever can cause them to go into shock or even cause seizures.
Assuming I am wearing dry leather shoes with rubber soles, and I'm not standing in water, I would kick the child's hand away (gently) from the scissors to break the circuit (without me getting electrocuted as well). To try to turn off the power at the mains would take too long. Also, my rubber soles meant I was not grounded to earth, and I could grasp the child's dry clothing (using one hand) and drag the child away to safety.
Obviously, the better option would be to not allow an open electrical outlet, an unsupervised child armed with metal scissors anywhere near electrical appliances and installations whatsoever.
There is the possibility that the electrical shock would throw the child clear - then the emergency services and administering CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) if the child is unconscious would possibly be needed.
