How to Do Basic First Aid.................

-
Basic first aid refers to the initial process of assessing and addressing the needs of someone who has been injured or is in physiological distress due to choking, a heart attack, allergic reactions, drugs or other medical emergencies. Basic first aid allows you to quickly determine a person's physical condition and the correct course of treatment. You should always seek professional medical help as soon as you are able, but following correct first aid procedures can be the difference between life and death. Follow our entire tutorial, or find specific advice by checking out the sections listed above.

Performing the Three Cs

Image titled Do Basic First Aid Step 1

1
Check the surroundings. Evaluate the situation. Are there things that might put you at risk of harm? Are you or the victim threatened by fire, toxic smoke or gasses, an unstable building, live electrical wires or other dangerous scenario? Do not rush into a situation where you could end up as a victim yourself. This       refers to the D (Danger) in DRABC (Danger, Response, Airways, Breathing and Circulation).[1]
  • If approaching the victim will endanger your life, seek professional help immediately; they have higher levels of training and know how to handle these situations. First aid becomes useless if you can't safely perform it without hurting yourself.

2 Call for help.


 
Call out for help 3 times before you begin assisting the casualty. If someone is with you or approaches, instruct them to call the authorities and be prepared to relay information to them so they can update the responders. It is not recommended that you leave the casualty unless absolutely required, but put them in the recovery position if you need to leave them for any reason.

3
Care for the person. 


Caring for someone who has just gone through serious trauma includes both physical treatment and emotional support. Remember to stay calm and try to be reassuring; let the person know that help is on its way and that everything will be alright. Other ways to reassure the casualty include asking for their name, if they know what has happened, and then about their interests.

Caring for an Unconscious Person

Determine responsiveness. If a person is unconscious, try to rouse them by speaking to them; do not be afraid to speak up. If they do not respond to activity, sound, touch, or other stimulation, determine whether they are breathing.

2
Check for breathing and a pulse.


 If unconscious and unable to be roused, check for breathing: look for a rise in the chest area; listen for the sound of air coming in and out; feel for air using the side of your face. If no signs of breathing are apparent, place two fingers under the chin and gently guide the face pointing upwards to open up their airways. If any debris such as vomit can be seen, it is appropriate to move them onto their side to allow it to get out, which is achieved with the recovery position.

If the person remains unresponsive, prep for CPR. Unless you suspect a spinal injury, carefully roll them onto their back and open their airway.[5] If you suspect a spinal injury, leave the person where they are, provided they are breathing.[6]
  • Keep the head and neck aligned.
  • Carefully roll them onto their back while holding their head.
  • Open the airway by lifting the chin.

Perform 30 chest compressions and two rescue breaths as part of CPR.

 In the center of the chest, just below an imaginary line running between the nipples, put your two hands together and compress the chest down approximately 2 inches (5.1 cm) at a rate of 100 compressions per minute (or to the beat of "Staying Alive"). After 30 compressions, give two rescue breaths, done by opening the airways, closing the nose and fully covering the mouth hole. Then check vitals. If the breaths are blocked, reposition the airway. Make sure the head is tilted slightly back and the tongue is not obstructing it. Continue this cycle of 30 chest compressions and two rescue breaths until someone else relieves you

5
Remember your ABCs of CPR. The ABCs of CPR refer to the three critical things you need to look for.[5]Check these three things frequently as you give the person first aid CPR.
  • Airway. Does the person have an unobstructed airway?
  • Breathing. Is the person breathing?
  • Circulation. Does the person show a pulse at major pulse points (wrist, carotid artery, groin)?

Go outbound! In my opinion the best way for your digital marketing to get leads will be cold mailing . The basic meaning of cold mailing is organizing email outreach to potential customers who fit your target customer profile, but don’t know you yet and had no prior relationship with you. Cold mailing is offering your product or service directly to business professionals , whose problems is about to be solved, and who potentially are very likely to buy from you. In the B2B industry, email lead generation is one of the best ways to find new clients. It won’t be effective instantly, but if you find out how to generate leads properly, then wait patiently and persistently, and it will become a very fruitful lead generation channel.
