First Aid Basics at Home: Essential Skills for Everyday Emergencies
(Digital eBook)

• Scene Safety and Emergency Assessment
  The first rule of any emergency is simple: do not become a second victim. Before you rush to help someone who is hurt or ill, take a few seconds to look around.
• Cleaning and Dressing Minor Wounds
  Before you touch a wound, take a moment to decide whether it needs professional care. A wound that is deep enough to expose fat, muscle, or bone requires medical attention.
• Cool Water First Aid for Burns
  Before treating any burn, you need to identify how serious it is. Burns are classified by depth.
• Clearing Airway Obstructions
  When something blocks the airway, air cannot reach the lungs. The person may clutch their throat, be unable to speak or cough, make high-pitched wheezing sounds, or turn blue around the lips and fingertips.
• Immobilizing Joint and Bone Injuries
  A fall, a twist, or a direct blow can damage bones, joints, or both. The signs often overlap.
• Identifying Stroke, Heart Attack, and Shock
  A stroke happens when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted. Brain cells begin to die within minutes.
