First Aid

Hello everyone! My name is Anastasia, and the purpose of my presentation today is to remind you about acts in first aid. So, let me begin by giving you an outline of my talk today. First of all, I’ll explain you briefly what is it first aid and ABC’S giving definitions. Then I’ll tell you about Four basic rules of first aid. Finally I’ll explain you how to act in such situations if victim is : • Not breathing • He/she has bleeding • Shock • Electrical Shock • Heart Attack • Choking I'll try to answer all of your questions after the presentation. I'd like to begin with explaining the definitions. So, the first aid is ‘An immediate medical and preventive measures in case of accidents and sudden illnesses, urgent care measures for wounded or sick people, which are taken before the arrival of paramedic or before the patient is placed in a hospital.’ And then I’ll go on to explaining what is ABC’s. ABC is abbreviation of Airway Breathing Circulation. • In first of them you need to check is there anything blocking the air from getting to the lungs from the mouth? Tilt head back gently and pull chin forward. • The next one means you need to check if the person is breathing. Look at their chest for rising, listen for breathing, feel for breathing with your ear. • And the circulation means that you need to check for pulse. That's all I have to say about the definitions. I hope now you have a clear picture what is first aid and ABC. .................
