1. What to do in cases of bleeding?
November, 2010
Apply pressure to the wound with a cloth or tape
 2. What artery is pressure to reduce bleeding?
The brachial artery in the arm or the femoral artery in the leg.

3. What makes the final bleeding?

Apply a sterile bandage over the wound

4. What you should always take into account bleeding first aid?
You should always check the pulse so that no interruption in the flow with
the bandage

5. What is a medical identification card?

Is a document that is useful to help the patient correctly in a state of
emergency. This card should contain your personal data, illness and
medications that are adverse to the patient

6. What is first aid kit?

It is a sealed plastic rectangular box containing suitable first-aid
medicines

7. What medicines should contain the boquitin?

Thermometer, Aspirin, Bandages, Soap, Alcohol and Pavidona iodine

8. What is the first aid?

Is the provision of immediate care to a victim with an injury or illness.

9. What do you do when a person has stopped breathing?

In first time, I don’t try to move the person or give secondary first aid
before giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
10. How did you begin a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?
Tilt the victim's head, chin pointing up. Place one hand under the victim's neck and
gently lift. In the same time push with the other hand on the victim's forehead. This
will move the tongue away from the back of the throat to open the airway.

11. What person can do a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?

Any person can do the method, but I have to know the correct process.

12. How does mouth-to-mouth resuscitation work?

The mouth-to-mouth resuscitation consists in get air for the mouth, and can
stimulate the respiratory center so begins the muscle diaphragm’s function.

13. WHAT IS CPR?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a combination of rescue
breathing and chest compressions delivered to victims thought to be in
cardiac arrest.  When cardiac arrest occurs, the heart stops pumping
blood.  CPR can support a small amount of blood flow to the heart and
brain to “buy time” until normal heart function is restored. 

14. WHEN USING THE RCP?

Is used in Cardiac Arrest

15. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THE CPR YOU'RE DOING IS WORKING?

As long as you can see the chest rise and fall, you know air is entering
the victim's lungs. But, you can't really tell if your chest compressions
are moving the blood through the victim's body.
Spontaneous revival of a victim just from administering CPR is not
common - but AEDs are now making it more probable. Your goal is to
keep oxygen circulating to the brain until emergency responders arrive
to revive the victim. Since you can't really tell if that is happening, you
need to continue on with the belief that you are being successful.
16. HOW DO I DO RESCUE BREATHING AND GET OXYGEN INTO THE
PERSON'S LUNGS?
Seal the nose with thumb and index finger (hand that is on forehead).
Open your mouth wide enough to make a seal over the person’s mouth.
Give 2 initial rescue breaths. Check for signs of life (warmth, colour,
breath) for up to 10 seconds. If there are no signs of life, commence
CPR.
ADULT - give 2 normal breaths
CHILD - use 2 smaller breaths for a child
BABY - seal your mouth over the baby’s mouth and nose and give 2
quick puffs

17. WHAT ABOUT MY HAND POSITION FOR PERFORMING CPR

COMPRESSIONS?
ADULT - Use two hands for the chest compressions - Put the heel of
one hand on the centre of the lower half of the breastbone (sternum).
With your other hand place it on top of the first hand and interlock your
fingers. This enables the fingers to be held off the rib cage. This also
helps prevent pressure on the person's ribs and reduces cracking a rib
or two.
CHILD – Use only one hand - Put the heel of one hand on the centre
of the lower half of the breastbone/sternum
BABY – Put 2 fingers (index and middle) in the centre of the
breastbone/sternum just between the nipples

18. What is dehydration? What are the side effects of dehydration?

Dehydration is defined as excessive loss of fluids from the body e.g.
acute gastro enteritis. Dehydration can be mild, moderate and severe.

19. What are common causes of dehydration?

 Many types of stress will cause under-drinking and lead to dehydration.
Heat exposure and exercise are common causes. When you exercise, a
normal response is to sweat to regulate your body temperature. You
lose body water because you sweat more.

20. What are the symptoms of dehydration?

Some of the symptoms of dehydration include fatigue, dizziness, tired,

dry mouth, lethargy, dry skin, low blood pressure, sunken eyes, dark
urine and headache.

21. What are the symptoms of being dehydrated?

Not medical advice: symptoms include thirst, loss of appetite, dry skin,
flushing, dry mouth, fatigue or chills.

22. How Do You Recognize Signs Of Dehydration In Youth Athletes?

Proper hydration is very important for safety and performance,

especially in the heat. Know the risk. Children are at an increased risk of
dehydrating because they do not tolerate temperature extremes as well
as adults do. Don't wait for thirst.
