Study Notes
First Aid

- First aid is generally performed by a non-expert or untrained person.
- It consists of a series of simple and potentially life-saving techniques that can be performed with minimal equipment.
Fractures
- If a fracture is suspected, do not move the person unless it is necessary to avoid further injury.
- Apply pressure to the wound with a sterile bandage or a clean piece of cloth to stop bleeding.
- Don't try to realign the bone or push a bone that's sticking out back in.
- Immobilize the area completely.
- Padding the area can be done with a piece of clean cloth.
Poisoning
- If the person has touched harmful poison on the skin, remove it using gloves and rinse the skin for 15 to 20 minutes gently using cool or lukewarm water.
- If poison has gone in the eye, immediately flush the eye with cool or lukewarm water to stop any further damage.
- If the person has accidentally inhaled poison or gas, take the person into an open area with fresh air as soon as possible.
- If the person vomits, turn his or her head to the side to prevent choking.
- Always consult a doctor for medical assistance.
Snake Bites
