πΆπ©Ή Paediatric First Aid: Every Second Counts
Children are naturally curious β bumps, bruises, and accidents are all part of growing up. But knowing a few key first aid skills can make a huge difference in an emergency. β€οΈ
Here are a few quick tips every parent or carer should know:
β
Choking: If a child is choking, give up to 5 back blows between the shoulder blades. If that doesnβt work, follow with 5 chest thrusts β and call for help immediately.
β
Burns: Cool the burn under running water for at least 20 minutes β never use creams, ice, or butter.
β
Bleeding: Apply firm pressure with a clean cloth until the bleeding stops.
β
CPR: If a child is unresponsive and not breathing, give 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths, and continue until help arrives.
Knowing what to do β and staying calm β can save a life. πͺ
