When can you play basketball again after a jammed finger?
This depends on how badly you have jammed it. Usually if you can still get movement out of you finger you caan immediately return to your sport but you may want to tape it or get a splint. If you can't get any movement out of your finger I suggest going and getting X-rays because it may be fractured or even broken. Hope this helps! :)

What to do if knee is bruised and pussing?
First treat the infection: Wash with warm, soapy water, gently but firmly washing away any dead skin or flesh, until the pus is cleared away. Rinse with fresh water, and apply an antiseptic (I like betadyne). Dress the wound and wrap in such a way as to limit mobility so the wound isn't stressed and re-opens. Next for the bruise, consider ice-packing, 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off, over the dressing, being careful to keep the dressing dry and clean. Repeat for 80 minutes at least. Consider one of the over the counter painkiller/anti-inflamatories like Ibuprofin or Aspirin. If you do, take according to the instructions on the box. Change the dressing daily, or when you see blood or pus soaking through. Re-clean the wound as needed. If the patient's temperature rises about 101.5F, or you see red lines extending out from the wound, head for a doctor.
What are the first drugs used to revive patients in an emergency?
In a first aid context, the modern thinking is that you usually don't want to revive a victim you discover that's unconscious unless you know why they're unconscious. You don't really know why they're unconscious, and many (including me) feel that unconsciousness is a protection for the victim in some cases. Gently shaking the victim (if I assume no spinal injury) and calling to them is about as far as I want to go, just to see if they'll revive on their own. If you know why they're unconscious, and you DO want to revive them, smelling salts (ammonium carbonate) works really well. Break the ampule and wave it briefly under their nose -- don't leave it there. If it doesn't work quickly, stop. Here are some unconscious victim ideas and concepts: * Do check for massive bleeding and control it. * Do check for vital signs. If they need CPR, do that before all else. * DONT slap them (doesn't this even Sound dumb?) * Don't give them something to drink -- unconscious people don't do that well. * Don't get them a pillow * Do consider turning their head to the side so, if they vomit, they don't aspirate it (don't do this if you suspect serious neck or back injuries). * Don't leave them alone. The use of drugs to revive unconscious patients, other than what I've covered here, is beyond the role of First Aid.

How old is an adult in first aid?
In terms of providing first aid to an ''adult'', it is usually made on a subjective judgment of the casualty's size rather than age. A child is usually classed as up until puberty and an adult may be classed as after that.
For example in CPR, 'child' CPR should be followed for children up until age 12 (approx) but 'adult' CPR can safely be administered to casualties above this age. It is usually made on judgment and there is no definite age limit.

How many inches deep push down and how many compression for infant CPR?
For infant CPR, you should push down about 1.5 inches deep when performing chest compressions. The recommended rate is 100 to 120 compressions per minute, and you should aim for a compression to ventilation ratio of 30:2 if you are alone, or 15:2 if there are two rescuers. Always ensure that the compressions are delivered with sufficient force to allow for complete recoil of the chest.
What first aid is given to some who swallowed parafin?
Wax eloquent. No, seriously, paraffin is about as inert a substance as you can ingest. If it was not enough to potentially physically stop materials from going through the intestine, say the size of one or two very large grapes, then just wait for the coming out party and you will be none the worse for wear. Just 'taper' your nonfood eating habit if there is one, which may be far worse than a hunk of paraffin. You could be suffering with a condition called Pica, and it can lead to some serious and even life threatening situations. See related question.
Again, to be clear: accidentally swallowing a bit of paraffin will not harm you. Habitually eating nonfood items, however much enjoyment this might bring, could kill you. As is true with most things, it is a matter of perspective and degree.
What is first aid for acetylene exposure?
