First Aid

Unless you're clinically dehydrated and/or sick to your stomach, it's just fine. Beware the Ice-cream Headache! :} If you're suffering from heat stroke, heat exhaustion, dehydration or something like that, the sudden shock of cold can make you vomit, making dehydration even worse. The trick in any case is to not drink in huge gulps, but to drink slowly until you aren't thirsty anymore.

First aid is important because it is the essential primary care given to an injured person hence the name, "first aid". If a person were simply thrown in the back of the ambulance on route to a hospital then it would be possible that he or she could bleed out where as if proper first aid were given they might have lived. First aid is important because it is an immediate care...

Epilepsy is caused by an increased amount of electrical activity in the brain. To track this you would need to conduct and EEG (Electroencephalography) or an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan on an individual, and compare normal activity to seizure activity. There can be various levels of severity for seizures and seizures come in many forms and so there would be a broad range of data to go through and comparisons to be made, even between one seizure and another.

A very bad sunburn will blister, yes.

Swelling of the brain if often caused by the brain hitting the cranium due to blunt or direct trauma.

i dont know why it is green and white

ask a docter

You grad plyers and yank it out!

the goals of first aid are preserve life , prevent deterioration and promote healing inki explaination mujhe b ni pta

1. Can you control the bleeding? 2. Has the glass possibly penetrated below the dermis and is there a chance that it will interfere with (or cut) processes below the skin? 3. Are you sure the patient won't be needing sutures (you can't get sutures after 12 hours or so, so you have to decide relatively soon). 4. CAN you remove the glass? (e.g., is it too deep, too powdery, etc.). If the answer is NO to any of these, off to the ER you go. Even a YES to all doesn't make this easy. Unless you have topical or local injectable painkillers, individually picking shards of glass out of a foot takes a long, painful time. While glass may show up well on an X-ray (for instance, Stolichniya uses lead as a part of their glass-making process, so shards from their bottles show up Great on an Xray), you won't know where all the glass is. Note that if the victim needs sutures, you have a 10-12 hour window to put them in. After this time, sutures won't work. So if there's any chance they'll need sutures, go to the ER. === === -- Clean the area as well as you can with sterile water or, better yet, sterile saline. Use a LOT. The idea is to clean without hurting the patient, cutting anything else, or pressing the glass in deeper.

-- Control the bleeding with gentle direct pressure of sterile gauze.

-- Sanitize all metal instruments by holding them in a flame for 20 seconds -- then make sure they cool down. Swab them with alcohol (AWAY from the flame).

-- Scrub the entire, uninjured parts of the foot (up to the ankle) very well -- use warm water and soap. Once clean, don't touch them again. Paint with Betadyne around the wound (we're creating a sterile field).

-- Lay down a sterile cloth to make a good working surface.

-- Light the area super-well. Get a couple of flashlights too for spot illumination. Also get very strong glasses and/or magnifying glasses. Get friends to help. (Remember the flashlights and glasses cannot be sterilized well, so you can't touch them.)

-- Wash your hands super-thoroughly to above the glove level, and then use a disinfectant.

-- Air-dry your hands, then don latex or surgical gloves. Don't touch the sterile parts of the gloves (e.g., only the rims).

-- Sponge blood as necessary with sterile gauze.

-- Use tweezers and needles (sterilized) to find and pull out the glass. Keep the shards off to the side of the sterile field.

-- Go slowly and methodically. Clean the obvious shards first, then carefully go over the entire area that is involved, looking for missed pieces.

-- Ask the patient if they need a rest. If they do, preserve the sterile field.

-- At the end, check once more, sponge any blood, and use a Betadyne, or hydrogen peroxide/Betadyne mixture.

-- Put sterile pads on the wound and then re-bandage. Check that it's not too tight (make sure you can get pedal pulse, toes aren't turning colors, etc.

-- Re-check and re-bandage daily or every two days.

-- Examine if there's a change in condition.

NOTHING NON-STERILE EVER TOUCHES ANYTHING INSIDE THE STERILE FIELD.

Its important because the person injured is not going to be more injured and dameged

first aid is used

*to preserve life

*to prevent more injuries

Cleaning a cut with an antiseptic, and then covering the cut with a bandage or sticking plaster, will keep the cut clean and help prevent infection of the wound.

Oh my--ouch. These products are not intended to be used on sensitive skin or sensitive lady parts!

One of the best things you can do is run a bathtub of tepid water-- not hot, just kinda lukewarm. Do NOT use bubble bath, bath additives, or ANY soap products. Just SIT in the tepid water for 15-20 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day. Open the labia and use one hand to splash water up onto the area. When done, PAT dry--do not rub. At night, leave off your underwear so the area gets air, which will help heal it. Leave your legs open (like guys do) or put a pillow between your knees to make sure the area is open to the air. If you don't do this, the usual body heat between your legs will make the irritation last longer. You can also put tepid water on a washcloth, fold it narrowly, open the labia, and lay the washcloth on it for 10-15 minutes...then, more air.

Second, look on the container for the company's phone number. You can call and talk to the company about any health tips they might have. You do not need to give your name. (Just do it; they've heard everything, too.)

Third, call your doctor-- don't worry, they've heard everything. Ask if there is a soothing-healing cream he can recommend.

Oh, and.... no sex until it stops hurting. You could have chemically burned the clitoral covering. That is why sitting in tepid water is SO important, to continually "bathe" the spot in clear soothing water.

Do not use feminine perfumy products. No baby powder. And, don't rub or scratch the area, no matter how badly it is irritated.

It is true that honey can be beneficial to an open wound. Its antibacterial activity, however, depends on how the honey was processed.

The geo phyzz is good because it helps clear up your nose. The blue skies and fluffy white clouds bubble bar is a good unwinding bar. It soothes. The descriptions on lush.com will probably give you more of an idea on their true ingredients and jobs. There may also be other good soaps,bubble bars,bath bombs etc. for when your under the weather.

It's a matter of priority, what is more important loss of blood or lack of Oxygen. If the trauma patient is conscious put a bandage in their hand and tell them to apply pressure and elevate the limb if there is no sign of a fracture. Then you can concentrate on the medical patient. Put the asthma patient into the semi-seated position get them to take their inhaler and don't forget to call for the EMS.

Cover it in Vaseline and it will suffocate or buy a tick remover!!

You can grab them by the head and pull. Be gentle, because if you pull to hard, mouth parts can get stuck in you. Another method is to take a match, light it, blow it out, and immediately put the hot head of the match on the body of the tick.

It depends really, if the dog bite punctured deep into the skin, you're going to want to go to the nearest Emergency Room, but if the bite just slightly punctures, you should probably clean the wound, put a substance like Neosporin on the cut to help prevent infection, and then wrap it up if you can, or just put a bandaid on it if it's a small bite. Ice isn't very useful unless there is swelling, but if there is pain, you can take something like Tylenol, Motrin, Ibuprofen, or Aleve, to relief it.

This procedure is known as CPR or Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation and the process consists of 30/2 (30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths).

1. Discontinue Dive

2.Seek Medical Attention

3. Consult a dive physician.

It refers to the fact that tape does not need to be used the bandage has its own adhesive (tape)
