Answer 2

Something's to do for CPR are: do start manual CPR right away, do check for responsiveness, do just chest compressions if you don't know how to rescue breaths. Don't forget to call 911, don't bend your arms, and don't panic.

Answer 3

To quote Hippoctates, "First, do no harm." (Primum non nocere) This means that, whatever you do, you should leave the patient in the same or better shape than when you arrived. The next equally important caveat is, "No injured rescuers!" In any first aid or rescue procedure, you must take extreme care to make sure the rescuers come to no harm. The arithmetic is simple: one rescuer and one victim is better than two victims. These two principles should be the core of any procedures you enact. Make sure you have a patient. I recall a time when a friend of mine "rescued" some poor swimmer who was just snorkeling and in no danger at all. By the time my friend started rescue breathing on the "victim", the victim popped him one. :} Make sure the subject is really in need of rescue before starting. Call for help. Don't yell, "HELP!" -- people don't know what to do. Instead, tell them exactly what you want. "CALL 911!" is a good one. Get at least two people going for help if you can. Assess Danger. If the patient is lying on the railroad tracks, you have to move them to a safe place before performing rescue. Be wary of chemical and electrical hazards, as well as bodily fluids, before you touch the victim. If you must move the victim, watch out for neck or spinal trauma, and move accordingly. Next, ABC: * Airway -- is the airway clear? * Breathing -- is the victim breathing? * Circulation -- is the heart beating? Note that part of circulation is control of bleeding. And it's fair to say that its nearly on a par with ABC, as it won't help if your breathing, well-infused patient bleeds out. Plan on controlling bleeding if necessary. Note that you can stop almost any bleeding with direct pressure. In almost all cases, tourniquets are a very bad idea. If you do tourniquet, note place and time, and pin the note to the patient. I know medics who have lived a lifetime without needing a tourniquet Stabilize: Treat for shock -- which in this case means make sure you maintain body temp (if it's cold out, keep them warm; if it's hot out find shade and cool them). You can also put them in a comfortable or effective position. Difficulty breathing may require them to sit up. Faintness may improve if the legs are elevated above the heart. Unconsciousness may do best if they're on their side and head tilted down. Watch for potential spinal/neck trauma! If there's a chance of this, stabilize them so no torsion or shear will be places on the spine or neck. If you suspect broken bones, this is the time to stabize them -- which means make sure they won't flop around. It doesn't mean splint or reduce fractures. Evaluation and history. Are they conscious? If not, note how you found them. Guess what happened too. If they are conscious, see if they're oriented in place and time. Who are you? What day is it? What year? Who's president? Do you know what happened to you? Note how coherent they are. If they're reasonably coherent, find out what happened, and if you can, make notes. Ask about medicine they're taking, conditions they have, Allergies, etc. Don't just leave; turn the responsibility over. After you've performed treatment, make sure you turn the vicitm over to the next caregiver. Be prepared to give a report to them detailing what's transpired. Make certain they take over responsibility and that you've conveyed all important information before leaving. NOTE: This is a super-brief summary of do's and don't's. I haven't included everything by any means, as I'd still be writing at sundown... next month. Feel free to add to this. There are alot of new do's in admitting first aid to someone that is in danger. DO check if their airway is clear and tilt their head back. DO check for breathing, if not, coimmence rescue breathing. DO check for signs of circulation, if absent start CPR. DONT move the person too much if you know they could have spinal injuries.

Answer 4

If you're the person providing first aid, be sure to wash your hands, use antibacterial gels, wear gloves, if possible. Clean the area (if bloody) before being treated to wipe away as much dirt as you can so there is less of a chance of infection.

If it is in a state of emergency, have someone call 911 while you are attending to the person being injured. Never move them, especially since moving them can cause more injuries than they already have to their neck, back, etc.

Answer 5

Well, first off, clean the cut with a mild soap. Don't just leave it dirty and cover it up with a bandage. After that put an antibiotic on it, like Neosporin, and then you can cover it up with a bandage until the bleeding stops and a scab grows in. After the scab grows in, let it air out so it can heal faster. Well, this might be obvious, but you're not supposed to scratch it or rip the scab off, you'll make it worse and end up with a scar.
