First Aid

If a clean guillotine decapitation occurs, a few factors come into play. First, the blood vessels all vasoconstrict -- they'll close down, trapping oxygenated blood in the head. Also, neurological functions will start to shut off, reducing oxygen usage, in order to deal with the increasing hypoxia (this is also observed in drownings). As such, you can expect the head to "live" in various conditions for as much as a few minutes. You can expect consciousness for as much as 30 seconds and possibly more. Anectodotal reports of Guillotine (the doctor; not the device) come to us of experiments with convicted criminals who would answer YES with one eyeblink and NO with two blinks. The story goes that Guillotine ran out of questions before they stopped responding (over 2 minutes). Personally, I doubt this, but I don't know. On the other side of the equation is systemic shock. An injury like this would slam the patient into a (eventually terminal) shock. That, coupled with the hypoxia, indicates a super-fast loss of upper brain functions. So what one describes as "life" comes into question. As to the body, death would occur quickly, but would do so an organ at a time. Organ death depends a lot on which organ and how it's treated. You are no doubt aware that organs can be donated for quite some time post mortem.

To stop severe bleeding of the arm, press on the brachial artery, which is located on the inside of the upper arm.

Yes, it can, and almost always is. Cutting is usually triggered by something, so when that happens, you have a very strong urge to cut. (say your trigger was if you got in an argument with your significant other, then whenever you got into an argument you'd want to cur yourself) Mostly the reason people cut is because the chemicals that are flushed into your system when you get injured distract you from reality, like getting high, but those chemicals (mainly endorphins) are addictive. And of course it never solves your problems, just makes them worse in the end.
However, some people (the unlucky ones) don't have a trigger, are just addicted to the endorphins. In these cases they don't have a particular trigger, just are addicted, and it is VERY hard to quit completely once you're addicted in that way. So don't cut, and if you've already started, stop before its too late and you're addicted, or worse...

Flush the area with water for 10-15 minutes to remove the source of the burning and cool the area. The water should be cool but not ice cold. A triple antibiotic or burn ointment can be used to help prevent infection and assist with the healing process. The burn should be loosely bandaged. Allow any blisters that form to drain on their own.

When dealing with a choking casualty, basically do your best to give back blows or abdominal thrusts this could be maybe asking them to get down on their knees. and preforming choking instructions on the floor.

Remember get a first aid course before doing any first aid, reading the first aid manual does not make you a "first aider".

AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator. It is a device which helps in diagnosing possible irregular heartbeats and other consitions that result in death.
