DANGEROUS MYTHS ABOUT CPR

-
Image
I came across these series of short videos created by American Heart Association on Emergency Live, featuring survivors and rescuers who talked about the importance of CPR and dispel common myths about this lifesaving skill. Many people are afraid of doing CPR because they think they’ll hurt someone. CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival. Your actions can only help. 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

Methylated spirit and first aid

-
Image
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 šŸ‘ #MethylatedSpirit #MethylatedSpiritUseInFirstAid #FirstAidCa...
