Babies can survive cardiac arrest, but there are degrees of "survival" that will vary greatly depending on how long the child was in arrest before resuscitation efforts were started, and how quickly the heart started to beat on it's own again. It also depends on what the condition of the child was prior to the cardiac arrest. If the child was mostly healthy, and suffered the arrest during a near drowning, for example, then as long as the child was quickly resuscitated, they have a chance for a full recovery. If there are underlying conditions, or disease pathologies that make the child prone to arrest and the complications thereof, the outcome may be more dire.

A second degree burn (as it's most commonly called) is also what is called Partial-thickness burns to EMS personnel.

No. The xyphoid process of the sternum is more likely to be forced into the liver, instead of the floating ribs, because CPR is performed on the anterior part of the chest.

Remove the patient from source of accident viz., electric conductor, water, moving machinery etc.

Where the patient is in contact with a live conductor or equipment, SWITCH OFF current at once before removal of the patient. If this cannot be done and the patient is in contact with low voltage apparatus, pull him off by using rubber gloves, his coat or shirt (if any), or any dry cloth, bag or rope. If the patient is in contact with high voltage apparatus, he should be handled with a live line stick, piece of perfectly dry wood, or rope-care being taken to have at least 0.9 m of wood or rope between the hands and the man on any live metal.

Some important issues that you should look out for when treating a patient are making sure that they can breathe, they are not going into shock, watching out for head wounds or spinal/neck injuries, and excessive bleeding. To check for respiratory problems, look at the skin color, if it is turning blue or purple they can't breathe. Also check for wheezing or excessive coughing. make sure that the patient is conscious and keep them warm. Don't move the patient unless it will harm them even more if there might be any head or neck injury. And make sure that any open wounds have had pressure put on them to stop any bleeding. There are many more issues that should be watched out for, but here are some main ones.

When you get the piercing done it might, and also if you manage to get it infected or rip it off your ear. But otherwise you should be fine.

First aid is the temporary treatment of injury or illness while waiting for medical aid. First aid ranges from cleaning a small wound and covering it with sticking plaster, to dealing with serious injuries at a major disaster. Its main aims are: to save life, prevent the casualty's condition from worsening, promote healing and recovery, and arrange for expert help at the earliest opportunity.

AIDS doesn't necessarily have any particular visible signs. Frequently people in full blown AIDS will suffer from wasting syndrome which means they will lose weight dramatically. AIDS patients are also susceptible to a form of skin cancer called Karposi's sarcoma which produces dark patches on the skin. But a patient can be in full blown AIDS without either of those conditions. An AIDS patient will be very sick but not necessarily with any particular visible symptoms.

It is not possible to look at someone even in full blown AIDS and tell that they have AIDS. AIDS is a syndrome which means it is a combination of a number of different problems and as a result its symptoms usually look like those of other diseases and conditions as well. Even very classic looking patients (with both wasting syndrome and Karposi's sarcoma) are not necessarily AIDS patients - only a doctor can make that determination.

Sounds like a hamstring injury. If so, the keys are getting the swelling down, immobilizing while itt heals, working range of motion during the healing process, and some physical therapy to rehab it. Ice-packs on the effected area -- 10 minutes on and 10 off, repeat for a couple of hours. Be careful not to freeze the skin -- wrap the pack in a towel if you have to. Aspirin or ibuprofin are good to ease the pain and control the swelling. DOn't start using it before it heals. Stay off it for a while. Get with a therapist and discuss range of motion excercises. The biggest mistake patients with this kind of injury run into is re-injuring it by using it hard before it's healed. See link below:
