First aid is required in many ways,
shapes and forms. It is always a good

needs it around you. Here is a list with
the 10 most common injuries requiring
first aid and what you can do when an
accident like this occurs.

 WHAT IS THIS TOPIC ABOUT?
It’s important that you commit these 10 golden rules
to memory. Even if you’re not injured, you might
encounter someone who is, and who needs treatment.

Always attempt to seek professional medical help for

injured persons. First responders are not always
readily available during emergency situations, and if
that’s the case, do your best to provide what treatment
you can until help arrives. planet from the Sun

Never forget that serious injuries always require more

advanced treatment, and you should do your best to
get the injured person to professional caregivers.
 This quick primer on common
basic first aid procedures can help
get you through a minor crisis, at
least until the paramedics arrive or
you can get to medical treatment.

 01.
Cardiac Arrest
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the most important medical procedure of all. If a person is in
cardiac arrest (the heart is no longer pumping blood) and CPR is not performed, that person will die.
On the other hand, performing CPR or using an automated external defibrillator (AED) could save a
life.
First Aid for Suspected Cardiac Arrest
Command someone to call 911
or the medical alert system for
the locale.
Immediately start chest
compressions regardless of
your training. Compress hard
and fast in the center of the
chest, allowing recoil between
compressions. Hand this task
over to those who are trained if
and when they arrive.
If you are trained, use chest
compressions and rescue
breathing.
An AED should be applied and
used. But it is essential not to
delay chest compressions, so
finding one should be
commanded to someone else
while you are doing chest
compressions.
 02.
Cut/Scrape
Regardless of how severe, almost all bleeding can be controlled. When someone is bleeding, you
want to prevent as much blood from leaving their body as possible. Mild bleeding will usually stop
on its own. If severe bleeding is not controlled, it may lead to shock and eventually death.

 03.
Burns
No matter what caused the burns or how bad they are, stopping the burn comes before treating the
burn. The severity of a burn is based on depth and size. For serious burns, you might need to see a
doctor or call 911.
 First Aid for Burn

running water for several acetaminophen for pain relief

oily remedies to the burn.
 04.
Blisters
Whether or not a blister needs any treatment is debatable. If the blister is small, unbroken and not
very painful, it is probably best to leave it alone. Cover it to prevent continued rubbing and pressure
on it that can cause it to swell more and possibly burst on its own. If the blister is large or painful—
especially if the activity isn’t finished (such as you are in the middle of a hike)—follow steps to drain
and dress a blister
First Aid for Blister
Use a sterilized needle and
make small punctures at the
edge of the blister. Express the
fluid.

Then apply antibiotic

ointment.

Cover it to protect it from further

rubbing and pressure.
 05.
Fractures
All extremity injuries need to be treated as broken bones (fractures) until an X-ray can be obtained.
There are all kinds of broken bone myths, such as not being able to walk on a broken leg or whether
there's a difference between a fracture and a break. If you don't have Superman's X-ray eyes, treat it
like it's broken.
 First Aid for Fractures

Don't try to straighten it. Elevate the extremity.

Stabilize the limb using a
splint and padding to keep
it immobile.

Put a cold pack on the injury, Give anti-inflammatory

avoiding placing ice directly on drugs like ibuprofen or
the skin. naproxen.
 06.
Sprain
The symptoms of a sprain are almost exactly the same as that of a broken bone. When in doubt,
first aid for sprains should be the same as broken bones. Immobilize the limb, apply a cold pack,
elevate it, and take anti-inflammatory drugs.9 See your doctor for further diagnosis and treatment.
First Aid for Sprain
Keep the injured limb elevated.

Apply ice to the injured area.

Don’t apply ice directly to the
skin. Wrap it in a cloth or put ice
in a plastic bag.

Keep the injured area

compressed. Put it in a brace
or tightly wrap it. Don’t wrap it
so tight that it’ll cut off
circulation. Ice for a while.
Then compress. Repeat at
intervals.
 07.
Nosebleed
Most of us have had a bloody nose at some time in our lives. It simply means bleeding from the
inside of the nose due to trauma. The biggest cause of a nosebleed is digital trauma – otherwise
known as picking it.
First Aid for Nosebleed
Lean slightly forward, not back.
Pinch the nose just below the
bridge. Don't pinch the nostrils
closed by pinching lower.

Check after five minutes to see

if bleeding has stopped. If not,
continue pinching and check
after another 10 minutes.

You can also apply a cold pack to

the bridge of the nose while
pinching.
 08.
Frostbite
Treating frostbite is a delicate procedure of gradual warming. If at all possible, this should be done
by professionals at a medical facility. First, get out of the cold. Small areas of minor frostbite may be
rewarmed by skin-to-skin contact, but avoid using any heat sources or hot packs.
 First Aid for Frostbite

cold, and remove any wet
clothing.
 09.
Heat Exhaustion
Heat exhaustion occurs due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures, especially when the
person is doing strenuous activities or hasn’t had enough water. Symptoms of heat exhaustion
include: Cool, moist skin, Heavy sweating, Dizziness, Weak pulse, Muscle cramps, Nausea and
Headaches
First Aid for Heat Exhaustion
Get the person to a shaded
area that’s out of the sun.

If there are no shaded areas

available, keep the person
covered by any available
materials that can block
sunlight.

Give the person water and

keep them hydrated.

Place a cool cloth on their

forehead to lower their body
temperature.

Bee Sting
Bee stings are either annoyingly painful or deadly, depending on if the victim is allergic to the
venom. Use these bee sting first aid tips.
