ELECTRICAL BURN 1.

These burns are caused by


contact with electrical wires, current, or lightning.
CRITICAL BURNS 2. These burns are defined as deep
burns over a large area of the body and would often result
in extensive blistering and destruction of skin tissue.
 SOFT- TISSUE INJURIES 3. This type of bleeding is
described as bright red and will often spurt from a wound.
It can be difficult to control due to the pressure created by
the heart’s contractions.
 
RESCUE BREATH 4. It is defined as artificial breaths
given to someone who is not breathing. They are given by
blowing air into the mouth to inflate the lungs.
 
CARDIAC ARREST 5. It happens when the normal
electrical impulses in the heart unexpectedly become
disorganized. The normally coordinated mechanical
contraction of the heart muscle is lost, and a chaotic,
quivering condition known as ventricular fibrillation can
occur.
 
CHIN LIFT 6. It is the recommended way to open and
maintain an airway.
 
UNINJURED 7. This position uses gravity to drain fluids
from the mouth and keep the tongue from blocking the
airway.
 
RAPID 8. This is the recommended first aid for minor
burns.
 
FIRST AID 9. It is defined as emergency care provided
for injury or sudden illness before professional emergency
medical treatment becomes available.
