EMERGENCIES: DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO?

Chest pain, choking, bleeding, fainting, seizures. If an emergency occurs, how


would you react? Do you know the first steps of first aid?
"People are often hesitant to get involved in an emergency situation," William Walters,
MD, an emergency medicine specialist at Temple University School of Medicine in
Philadelphia, tells WebMD. "It's not so much they don't want to help. They're worried
they won't know what to do."
After all, emergencies can happen anywhere at a game, on a city street, at the grocery
store, at home. What should you do?

The Basics
Call 911. Better safe than be sorry, says Walters. "It's better that 911 get too many calls
than too few," he says. "We routinely hear from paramedics summoned to a residence,
for what neighbors thought was an emergency, to find out everyone's fine. There are
never hard feelings about that. Paramedics expect that as part of the job. We'd much
rather show up and find the person in good health at home than be called too late and
things have spiraled out of control."
Stay calm. We've all heard stories about the Good Samaritan who gets hit by a car
while trying to help someone else. "Creating another accident or another victim
complicates things much more -- almost more than not getting involved. If you can't help
safely, you shouldn't help," Walters tells WebMD. "It's important that you stay calm,
make sure you're not putting yourself or anyone else in jeopardy, then attempt to
help."
Start CPR. "Even people who have never taken a CPR course can be directed by a
dispatcher to do CPR," says Walters. "Many 911 dispatchers are trained to teach CPR
over the phone. You can do chest compressions without even doing mouth-to-
mouth. ... It's better than doing nothing."

5 Common Emergencies
Imagine these common situations. Here's what to do:
Emergency: Dizziness, Fainting. You're sitting at a game, maybe in the airport. A guy
says he doesn't feel well. "If he tells you -- a perfect stranger -- that he feels weak, ill, or
dizzy, you should be dialing 911," says Walters. "He needs medical attention." There
are many medical causes for these symptoms, like a hearth condition, diabetes, low
blood sugar, pregnancy, heart attack, or it could be heat-related.

NATURAL DISASTERS

What is called natural disasters?

ACTIVIDAD No. 2
A natural disaster is a major event caused by the natural processes of the Earth
including extreme. Examples include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic
eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis and other geologic processes.

HURRICANE

A hurricane is a large, circular storm with strong winds that forms over warm waters
in tropical areas. Hurricanes have sustained winds of at least 74 miles per hour and
an area of low air pressure in the center called the eye.

TORNADO

A tornado is extremely strong winds concentrated in one area. A tornado is a type


of storm in which powerful rotating winds form a column, which reaches from a cloud
down toward the ground. ... Such violent winds can flatten buildings and whip heavy
objects, such as cars, into the air. However, most tornadoes are short-lived and do
not cause much damage.

LIGHTNING

Lightning. Is a flash of light in the sky caused by an electrical discharge between


clouds or between a cloud and the Earth's surface? The flash heats the air and
usually causes thunder. When the lightning touches a building, tree, car, or person,
we say they have been “struck” by lightning.

FOREST FIRE

"Forest fire" means a fire burning uncontrolled on lands covered wholly or in part
by timber, brush, grass, grain, or other flammable vegetation. It is the most common
hazard in forests. ... Forest fires may be caused due to natural or manmade
reasons.
EARTHQUAKE

An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust
that creates seismic waves. In an earthquake, the ground shakes and cracks.
Buildings that are not designed to survive earthquakes are often destroyed.
Smaller earthquakes can also be caused by volcanic activity, landslides, mine
blasts, and nuclear experiments.

FLOOD

A flood occurs when it rains a lot, and the water in a river gets so high that it overflows
the riverbanks and invades surrounding areas.

TSUNAMI

In a tsunami, the water from the ocean comes in and covers the land. Tsunamis are
caused by an earthquake in the middle of the ocean.

DROUGHT

A drought is when there is not enough water because it hasn’t rained for a long time.

BLIZZARD

A blizzard is a very strong snowstorm.

AVALANCHE

An avalanche is when a lot of snow falls down the side of a mountain.

LANDSLIDE / MUDSLIDE

A landslide (or mudslide) is when soil, rocks, and/or mud falls down the side of a hill
or mountain.

VOLCANIC ERUPTION

When the volcano explodes, the event is called a “volcanic eruption”

TAKING CARE OF YOUR HEALTH

Doing more to take care of your health is a big part of growing up. You can
help in lots of ways. To find out which health skills you know well and which
ones you need to learn or practice, see our Health Skills Checklist.

Steps you can take to do more for your health:


• Read about your health issue. One place to find health information is the
Internet. To find online information you can trust, check out these links about
different illnesses and disabilities. Also, check at your school or public library
for books and magazine articles. You can also ask your doctor to suggest
resources. As you read about your health condition, make a list of questions
and bring the list with you when you visit the doctor.
• Keep a record of your medical history. It should include illnesses, dates of
operations, treatments, names of doctors, what the doctors told you to do,
and so on. If your parents have already started a record for you, you can add
to it. Bring the record with you to your doctor visits and show it to the doctor.
• See if you feel ready to schedule your own doctor’s appointments. If you
know that you will have a lot to talk about with your doctor, ask for a longer
appointment so you won't run out of time.
• Prepare for your medical appointments by making a list of the important
issues that need to be covered and making sure to ask about all of them.
• If you start to feel sick but don't need to see a doctor right away, make
a doctor’s appointment for a few days later. That way you’ll make sure you
can get help when you need it. But if you get better before your appointment,
be sure to cancel the appointment right away!
• Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or do drugs. If you already do, try to quit.
• Keep your weight at a healthy level. Make sure you follow the doctor’s
advice about the things you should eat and do. For physical activity tips, visit
our Fitness section.
• Make time to do the things you enjoy and spend time with people you love.
Being happy can help your body feel better.
• Ask your doctor, parents, or counselor any questions you have about
sex or puberty. It is normal to have questions, so don’t be embarrassed or
shy. Learn what you need to know to take good care of your changing body.

Finally, follow the treatment plan you and your doctor agree on and work with
your parents to get answers to any questions you have.
