 BURN
A burn is an injury to the skin or other
organic tissue primarily caused by heat or
due to radiation, radioactivity, electricity,
friction or contact with chemicals.
Thermal (heat) burns occur when some or
all of the cells in the skin or other tissues
are destroyed by: hot liquids (scalds)
 BURN
The initial action with any burn is the
same — remove the source of the burn
and cool the burnt area. It reduces pain
and swelling. It also prevents damage to
underlying tissues.

wrap, or a clean plastic bag.
POISONING
Poisoning is injury or death due to swallowing,
inhaling, touching or injecting various drugs,
chemicals, venoms or gases. Many substances
— such as drugs and carbon monoxide — are
poisonous only in higher concentrations or
dosages.
 POISONING
The golden rule in giving first aid for someone
who is poisoned is not to attempt the victim to
vomit until you know what the poison is.
Vomiting a poisonous substance back up the
esophagus can double the damage if the
poison is a corrosive chemical
 POISONING
Poison can get into the body through the skin,
digestive system, lungs, and bloodstream. The
way poison gets into the body influence the
speed of reaction: for example, if a poison is
injected into the bloodstream, it can reach all
parts of the body within a minute or so.
IN GIVING FIRST AID FOR POISONING, YOU MUST DO
THE FOLLOWING:

If the victim has taken acid, gas ,kerosene, or any chemical

that may cause burning, do not induce vomiting.
If the cause of poisoning is food or other things that don't
cause burning, induce vomiting. Use the finger to irritate the
victim's throat thus causing the victim to vomit. Water mixed
with powdered charcoal, salt-water solution, and egg white
can be cause the victim to vomit.
Bring the victim to the nearest hospital. POISONING IS ONE OF THE HURRY CASES> GIVE
FIRST AID IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID SERIOUS
DAMAGE OF THE BODY
STOPPAGE OF
BREATHING
Breathing that stops from any cause is called
apnea. Slowed breathing is called bradypnea.
Labored or difficult breathing is known as
dyspnea.
STOPPAGE OF
BREATHING
Stoppage of breathing may be due to the
obstruction in the throat. You don't have to
waste time.
DO THE FOLLOWING
IMMEDIATELY:
Loosen all Clothing of the patient to
help in quick recovery of breathing.
Tilt the victim's head and clear the
airways.
Apply artificial respiration using the
CAB ACT IMMEDIATELY WHEN SOMEONE STOPS
BREATHING.
