First Aid

RICE- rest, ice, compression, elevation. Do not remove shoe if it's on the foot. the shoe will provide extra support.

The 1st thing NOT to do is panic. You should get help immediately.

Keep it clean, dry , and covered lightly. If you get a red swollen area, your IV may have infiltrated [slipped out of vein and putting fluid in your surrounding tissues ] in which case , IV needs to be restarted.

Release to oxygen ,do not suffocate the area.treat with antiseptic or protein creams and always use cool water when washing

The very first thoughts going through your mind should be, "is the scene safe to enter?", and "do I have my body substance isolation?" (BSI). Make sure you're safe first, because you won't be any good to the patient/victim if you get yourself hurt. Following that is your initial assessment followed by ABC's (airway, breathing, circulation). After that comes whatever treatment is necessary for the specific injury or illness.

The FIRST thing any person responding to a burn victim should do is make certain the scene is safe. Only then can one attend to the patient. Remember, you can't help if you become a victim yourself.

If an adult becomes unresponsive while choking: # Unresponsive is assumed meaning unconscious # Call 911 or local emergency number (have someone else call if available) # Tip head & check for signs of life # If no signs of life, give 2 breaths # If breaths do not go in, reposition head further back # If breaths still do not go in give 30 compressions # Look for object in mouth; if object seen sweep out # Give 2 breaths # If breaths do not go in, give 30 compressions # Look for object in mouth; if object seen sweep out # Give 2 breaths # Repeat sequence compressions, look & sweep if object seen, breaths until breaths go in # When breaths go in check for signs of life for 10 seconds maximum # Give CPR if no signs of life (30 compressions, 2 breaths)

First Aid has 3 main aims, these are:
To:
1. Save lives.
2. Prevent further injury.

Not entirely sure what you're asking but since I'm an EMT I'll try to answer it anyway.

When a spinal injury is possible do NOT perform a head-tilt/chin-lift or use a nasopharyngeal airway to open the patient's airway. Do NOT put them in a recovery position as it can result in irreversible damage. DO use an oropharyngeal airway and/or the jaw-thrust maneuver while keeping them in the Supine position to open the airway and take spinal precautions to minimize the risk of further spinal damage.

A splint is long enough that it will go far enough past the break on both sides to allow you to secure it. Giving an exact measurement isn't a good thing because all splints are different - a splint for a broken finger is quite a bit shorter than a splint for a broken leg.

The main duty of a county commissioner is to administrate the county government. This is a an elective position and is answerable to the national assembly.

You are talking about the thenar prominence, containing the thenar muscles that control thumb movement. Muscles heal by regeneration, like any other tissue...but this should be closely managed by a specialist physician to prevent serious complications such as paralysis...do not attempt management at home!

Afrin & Ice. Stop moving around. Everytime you increase the pressue inside of your body (bending, coughing, flexing any muscles) or increase your heart rate, your nose bleeds, so be quiet & calm.

A good sunburn relief product is aloe lotion or spray.

The definition of first aid care is emergency treatment administered to an injured or sick person before professional medical care is available. Lives are saved each year because people have learned what to do in emergency situations. For additional information on First Aid please visit Answers.com

To identify all injuries that need to be treated

In order to treat a burn on your hand it is important to know what type of burn it is. A superficial burn (known as a first degree burn) should be placed under cool running water. A partial-thickness burn (known as a second degree burn) will typically blister and should be submerged in cool water. A full-thickness burn (known as a third degree burn) is a serious medical condition and 911 should be called.

I have been doing it for over 70 years and my mother did before that. We have never had anything but good results. Is there a reason not to???

A compression fracture occurs when the normal vertebral body of the spine is squished, or compressed, to a smaller height. This injury tends to happen in two groups of people. First, are patients who are involved in traumatic accidents. When a load placed on the vertebrae exceeds its stability, it may collapse. This is commonly seen after a fall. The second, and much more common, group of patients are those with osteoporosis.

The best way to stop bleeding in the upper leg is through direct pressure. Apply a thick bandage and bind this with a crepe bandage.

Elevate the leg to make it harder for the blood to pump. This controls the bleeding fairly effectively. Seek for medical attention urgently if an artery is damaged. This may cause death fast if prompt medical attention is not sought.

Alcohol is not the best choice for cleaning wounds. The reasons are that it's very painful for the patient, and unless you completely submerge the affected area, it's not very effective as a germicide. Alcohol is used more for disinfection instruments and sometimes the unbroken skin of a topical location prior to injection. Depending on the size of what you're disinfection, you can do the following: * For large open wounds, flushing with sterile saline works great. If the wound is infected, you can also fluch with antibiotics, but this is more of an inpatient treatment. * For small wounds, Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) 3 percent solution works very well. The good things about this antiseptic are that it loses that exrta oxygen atom as part of disinfecting, and all that remains is water, so it won't stain and will evaporate without leaving a residue. In clinical tests, it was rated as the most effective/deadly to germs of the topical antiseptics. The only problem is that oxydation also can injure healthy cells. Also, while Hydrogen peroxide can be safely used in the mouse (3%, spit it out when you're done), it should be kept away from other sensitive areas. If you have to use alcohol, you need one that has a relative high percentage of alcohol in the bottle. The minimum is 40% (or 80 proof). If you have to use ethanol (drinking alcohol), use vodka -- no additional stuff to cmplicate the procedure. Again though, alcohol is not the best to clean wounds.
