First Aid Kit With Precaution

A well-stocked first-aid kit, kept within easy reach, is a necessity in every home. Having supplies gathered ahead of time will help you handle an emergency at a moment's notice. You should keep one first-aid kit in your home and one in each car. Also be sure to bring a first-aid kit on family vacations.

 You can purchase a first aid kit at drugstores or a local Red Cross office, or make one of your own. If you decide to make one, choose containers for your kits that are roomy, durable, easy to carry, and simple to open. Plastic tackle boxes or containers for storing art supplies are ideal, since they're lightweight, have handles, and offer a lot of space.

What You'll Need

Include the following in each of your first-aid kits:

• first-aid manual
• sterile gauze pads of different sizes
• adhesive tape
• adhesive bandages in several sizes
• elastic bandage
• a splint
• antiseptic wipes
• soap
• antibiotic ointment
• antiseptic solution (like hydrogen peroxide)
• hydro cortisone cream (1%)
• acetaminophen and ibuprofen
• extra prescription medications (if the family is going on vacation)
• tweezers
• sharp scissors
• safety pins
• disposable instant c
• blanket (stored nearby)
• old packs
• calamine lotion
• alcohol wipes or ethyl alcohol
• thermometer
• tooth preservation kit
• plastic non-latex gloves (at least 2 pairs)
• flashlight and extra batteries

 After you've stocked your first-aid kits:

• Read the entire first-aid manual so you'll understand how to use the contents of your kits. (If your kids are old enough to understand, review the manuals with them.)
• Store first-aid kits in places that are out of children's reach but easily accessible for adults.
• Check the kits regularly. Replace missing items or medicines that may have expired.
• Check the flashlight batteries to make sure they work.
• If you're flying, be sure to pack the first-aid kit in your checked luggage. Many of the items won't be permitted in your carry-on bags.

Thermal Burns Treatment

one of the basic treatment in first aid is "thermal burns treatment" because everyone must have to know the treatment of burn. In case if our body part was burn and right now you can't go to the doctor so should know that how you can treat yourself .there are few steps to treat yourself for burn.

If you burn first you need to stop burning immediately, you should:

• Put out fire or stop the person's contact with hot liquid, steam, or other material.
• Help the person "stop, drop, and roll" to smother flames.
• Remove smoldering material from the person.
• Remove hot or burned clothing. If clothing sticks to skin, cut or tear around it.

second you should remove constrictive clothing immediately like Take off jewelry, belts, and tight clothing. Burns can swell quickly.Another step if your first epidermis layer of skin was burn so you should:

• Hold burned skin under cool (not cold) running water or immerse in cool water until pain subsides.
• Use compresses if running water isn’t available.
• Cover with sterile, non-adhesive bandage or clean cloth.
• Do not apply butter or ointments, which can cause infection.
• Give over-the-counter pain reliever such as Ibuprofen, (Advil,Motrin), Acetamenophin (Tylonel), or Naproxen (Aleve).

• Cover loosely with sterile, nonstick bandage and secure in place with gauze or tape.
• Unless the person has a head, neck, or leg injury, or it would cause discomfort:
• Lay the person flat.
• Elevate feet about 12 inches.
• Elevate burn area above heart level, if possible.
• Cover the person with coat or blanket.
• Cover the person with coat or blanket.

• Have a person with a facial burn sit up.
• Check pulse and breathing to monitor for shock until emergency help arrives.

First Aid Tips

First Aid Tips

In the year 2013 alone 2,38,562 people died due to road traffic accidents. While the lack of proper roads, rash and negligent driving and the apathy of pedestrians can partly be blamed for this high number, a large portion of these deaths can be attributed to the fact that most accident victims do not get proper medical attention and first aid on time. So, would you know what to do if you or someone else was in an accident? Well, in this post I tell you all you need to know about performing first aid on an accident victim.

1. Check yourself first: If you have been injured in the accident, first check yourself for any injuries. Try to assess how well you can move your limbs, and if you experience symptoms such as dizziness etc. Remember you need to be fit enough to help the others.

2.Check the other person(s) for injuries: If other people are injured, first assess the extent of his/ her injuries. For e.g. is he bleeding from the head, neck, arms legs, abdomen back etc. Treat the quietest person first, they are usually more seriously injured or cannot breathe. People who can talk or scream, on the other hand, can breathe therefore can be treated a little later. Ask for the patient’s name, if he responds, it means he is able to understand the situation and has most likely not suffered a severe head injury.

3. Look for signs of breathing: Next, check if the person is breathing and if he has a pulse.

4. Call for help: Immediately call for an ambulance or rush the person to a hospital. Once you know more about the patient’s condition you will in a better position to tell the doctors about his/her condition.

5. Check for obstructions in the person’s mouth and throat: If you do not hear any breath sounds, check his/her mouth for any obstructions. If there is something obstructing the airway, use your index and middle finger to clear the airway.

6. Perform life saving techniques: If there is no pulse, start CPR or EAR. Keep the person’s neck straight to start EAR (External Air Resuscitation) or CPR (Cardio pulmonary resuscitation).  There are 3 types of EAR; Mouth-to-mouth, Mouth-to-Nose, Mouth-to-Mask. You could read more about how to perform EAR and CPR here.

7. Ways to help him/her in grave situations: If there is bleeding from the mouth or the patient is vomiting, turn the person to his/her side. This will avoid any chances of the person choking. Place the person’s arm that is under him straight out and the arm closest to you across his chest.

8. Deal with open wounds: If there are extensive wounds, try to control the bleeding using pressure to the area using a cloth. Press down with your palms rather than your finger tips.

9. Always suspect spinal injuries:  If the person’s neck is in an awkward position (not normally placed) or the person is unconscious, do not move the patient. Get help immediately. This could mean that the person’s neck is broken, and moving him/her in such a situation can cause more harm than good.

10. Keep the person warm: Usually accident victims feel excessively cold due to shock. Therefore keeping them warm is essential to survival. You can use whatever you have to do this, such as a T-shirt, jacket, etc.

11. Avoid feeding the person: Do not give the person any water, food or other fluids through the mouth, it could lead to the patient choking.

First Aid

First Aid

First Aid is the assistance given to an injured or sick person in need of urgent medical assistance. First aid applies to a broad range of medical situations and consists both of specific knowledge and skills (for example, what to do for each type of injury or illness) and the ability to assess a situation and make appropriate decisions (such as when to call for emergency medical assistance).

Preparedness is a key element of first aid. While every home, auto, boat, educational institutes, shopping malls and other places should be equipped with a basic emergency kit that includes first aid supplies and a first aid manual, special circumstances may necessitate more advanced or specific degrees of preparation for an emergency. For example, residents of certain geographic areas where natural disasters (such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tornado, floods, landslides, or tsunamis) may occur should prepare for emergencies by assembling disaster preparedness kits such as earthquake kits, flood kits, and-evacuation kits.

Travelers should also prepare to administer first aid in the region they plan to visit. In many developed countries, this may amount to packing a standard first aid kit and manual with your belongings. Medicines to prevent motion sickness and advanced awareness about the management of traveler's diarrhea  are also helpful to travelers. In the developing world or in remote regions, a travel medicine  kit should include medicines and supplies that may not be available for purchase in small regions.

First aid may be required for medical emergencies such as heart attack,stoke as well as for minor medical conditions like nosebleed and mild allergic reactions. Environmental injuries (sunburn, heat exhaustion, bee or insect stings) and traumatic injuries (strains, sprains, burns and cuts as well as more severe internal injuries) are other situations where first aid skills can be invaluable.

Apni Madad Ap….

Zindagi ke pahye jis bareeqe se rail-gari ki tarhan rawan dawan hain wahin per kayi mussafir yahan aate hain aur manzil tey karte he utar jatey hain, isi tarhan kayi mushkilaat  ka samna aulad-e-Adam ko bhi karna parh rha hai. Yahan per kisi ko berozgari ne ghair rakha hai tou koi bemariyo se pareshan hai. Aameer ho ya ghareeb ksi bhi haal mai log ab khush nazar nahi aate hain. Ghareeb apni ghareebi se mar raha hai aur ameer apni dulat ki hawis se.

 Pechle dino kayi log shaded garmi k bais halak hogae, wojohaat ke paesh-e-nazar logon mai agahi ki kami ko paya gaya. Aulad-e-Adam mai shaor to bedaar hogaya lakin nagahani hadsaat se bachne ke lye koi ibtidaai tibbi imdaad ki agahi nahi di gai, jis ki waja se amwaat ki taadat hazaro mai ja phnchi. Khususan aurton ko ghar mai rehte hue ibitidai tibbi imdaad ki mamulaat hona lazmi hai take ksi bhi na-khushgawar waqiye se bacha ja sake. Road hadsaat ho ya gharelo waqiyat har surat mai malumaat hona lazmi hai. Baaz auqaat doctor tak rasai fori tor per mumkin nahi hoti jis ke bais kayi logon ko apni jaan se hath dho bethna pardhta hai. Lihaaza ibtidaai tibbi malumaat har shaks ko hona lazmi hai take aulad-e-Adam ko mehfooz aur sehat-mand zindagi mayyasar hosake.

Aurat ko sanaf-e-nazuk jese namo se munsalik kardiya jata hai jabke ek aurat he pora khandaan banati hai, ghr me reh kar hazaroon pareshaniyo ke sath hazaroon bimaryion ke elaj bhi samajdaar  aurat  ghr beth kar nikal sakti hain. Hamare muashery mai taleemki kami hai phir bhi har maa apne bache ki tibbi imdaad ke leye ksi doctor se kam nahi hai. Lihaza agar Jamey malimaat hasil hojae to ek maa, behen aur biwi ghar mai rehte hue hazaro zindagiyon ko bacha sakti hain. Hukumat ki janib se aese programs ka ineqaad karwana chahye jis mai na-gahani afaat ke sath sath bimari aur hadsaat se bachne ke leye tibbi imdaad ki malumaat faraham ki jae take aulad-e-Adam ki zindagi yun hathon se na nikal jae jis tarhan ramzan 2015 mai ane wale heat strock k duran dekha gaya.

“Allah us qoum ki madad us waqt tak nahi karta jab tak wo apni madad ap nahi karte….”
