Methylated spirit and first aid

- February 19, 2021

It is like a tradition to have a bottle of methylated spirit in a first aid box, but do we know what it's purpose is? If we took a poll on what we use it for during first aid care, a lot of us would probably mention that it's primary use is for wound treatment. Nahhhhhh The facts: Methylated spirit is great for killing germs and bacteria, hence it is a disinfectant. However it isn't a choice disinfectant for wounds. It can be used as a disinfectant for unbroken skin e.g. to disinfect the skin before an injection or before a surgery. If it is applied to a wound it would kill bacteria, but could slow down the healing process as it kills the new cells the body needs to help in healing. Methylated spirit can be used to sterilize first aid tools (scissors, tweezers, etc.) and surfaces that might have been contaminated during first aid care. Don't abuse methylated spirit any longer, use it correctly 👍 #MethylatedSpirit #MethylatedSpiritUseInFirstAid #FirstAidCa...

DANGEROUS MYTHS ABOUT CPR

Check out these videos to learn how any injury caused by performing CPR properly is either rare or not serious. #CPRSavesLives #GetFirstAidSkills #GetAFirstAidKit/Box #BePrepared #BeFABulouS Source: Emergency Live

- November 22, 2020

Pull out your seats amd let's give you info about foreign objects in the rectum INTRO: FOREIGN OBJECTS IN THE RECTUM The rectum is that connection between tne large intestine and the anus. Stool can be temporarily found there. It isn't meant to house foreign objects. Most foreign objects found in the rectum were inserted through the anus and very few got there through the mouth (made their way through the digestive tract and got stuck in the rectum. The problem with foreign objects is the inability to remove them. If foreign objects are not removed ASAP, they could cause complications. Foreign objects stuck in the rectum can only be located or viewed through X-ray imaging (except it is long enough to stick out via the anus). Foreign objects get stuck in the rectum for a variety of reasons. These objects could be intentionally or accidentally introduced into the rectum but rarely is it intentional that these objects be stuck there. Photo cr...
