READING
Read this page from a training manual that contains basic advice on first aid for use in an emergency. Then, answer the questions.
Until an ambulance arrives, it’s your duty to give medical attention and first aid. Your initial treatment of an injured person can save lives. Every squad car has a first aid kit - be aware of its location.
Superficial Injuries For minor cuts and burns, sterilize the injured area. Then wrap the injury in a bandage. For a cut that is bleeding heavily, apply pressure to reduce blood flow.
Choking - Clear the airway. Use chest thrusts or fingers to remove the object. After the object is removed, check for a pulse. If the victim has no pulse, give CPR.
CPR - Begin with chest compressions. After 30 compressions, perform rescue breathing.
Cardiac Arrest - Turn on the defibrillator. Remove all metal jewelry and the victim’s shirt. Secure the pads to the victim's chest. The machine will tell you when to give a shock. After giving the shock, check the pulse. If the heart is beating, but the victim is not breathing, give CPR.
