I came across this post on Lindaikejis Blog. It highlights the importance of obtaining the First Aid skill. You can never tell when you need it. We appreciate those who took the action of taking him to the hospital. Let us assume it's a race against time.A second can make the difference between life and death. So before rushing the casualty to the hospital, the thing to do is to first of all check for SIGNS  OF LIFE.Is the casualty breathing?This can be done under a minute. (1)Look-at the chest for a rise and fall of the chest,this shows casualty is breathing (2)Listen-for breathing  (3)Feel-for breath from nostrils If there are no signs of life,commence CardioPulmonary  Resuscitation  (CPR).once casualty starts breathing,take him/her to the ER.

So are we aware of the recommended process of first aid application in managing a cut or wound?Depending on the depth of the injury it may or may not be fatal.

Always wear protective disposable gloves when you want to administer first aid and there are chances you will be exposed to body fluids like blood. Dont endanger yourself while trying to help.Every first aid kit/box should have gloves.Hope the info comes in handy when the need arises. #BePreparedBeforeItHappens #SaveALife #TheFirstAidBoxShop #THEFABS #BeFABulouS

Often you hear news of someone who slumps either while jogging or walking or engaging in one form of sporting activity or any random activity. This usually results in the death of the victim. The question that comes to mind is: could their death be avoided? I want to say, yes, only if someone around knew what to do,  like how to perform CPR or use an AED (if available). The link below talks about Sudden Cardiac Arrest and 5 things that raise the risk of it happening. Hope you  read it and pick a thing or two from it.
