CardioPulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
CPR stands for CardioPulmonary Resuscitation, an emergency procedure that is a combination of chest compressions and artificial ventilation (breathing) used to save a person’s life when a person’s heart stops beating or breathing ceases. When performed right away, CPR can increase a person’s chances of survival after cardiac arrest.

What should I keep in my first aid kit?
It's important to have a well-stocked first aid kit in your home so you can deal with minor accidents and injuries.

Your first aid kit should be locked and kept in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children.

Many people also keep a small first aid kit in their car for emergencies.

Your basic first aid kit
A basic first aid kit may contain:

plasters in a variety of different sizes and shapes
small, medium and large sterile gauze dressings
at least 2 sterile eye dressings
triangular bandages
crêpe rolled bandages
safety pins
disposable sterile gloves
tweezers
scissors
alcohol-free cleansing wipes
sticky tape
thermometer (preferably digital)
skin rash cream, such as hydrocortisone or calendula
cream or spray to relieve insect bites and stings
antiseptic cream
painkillers such as paracetamol (or infant paracetamol for children), aspirin (not to be given to children under 16), or ibuprofen
antihistamine cream or tablets
distilled water for cleaning wounds
eye wash and eye bath
It may also be useful to keep a basic first aid manual or instruction booklet with your first aid kit.

Medicines should be checked regularly to make sure they're within their use-by dates.

Reducing the risk of infected wounds during first aid
Open wounds are prone to infection. Suggestions to reduce the risk of infection include:

Wash your hands if possible before managing the wound. You could also use an antibacterial hand sanitiser.
Put on the disposable gloves provided in your first aid kit.
Try to avoid breathing or coughing over the wound.
Cleaning of the wound depends on the type and severity of the wound, including the severity of the bleeding. You may just clean around the wound.
Cover the wound with a sterile dressing. Try not to touch the dressing’s surface before applying it to the wound.
Seek medical advice or call triple zero (000) for an ambulance.

In an emergency, these suggestions may not be practical. If the injured person is bleeding heavily, don’t waste time. For example, cleaning the wound might dislodge a blood clot and make the wound bleed again or bleed more.

Immediately apply pressure to a heavily bleeding wound (or around the wound if there is an embedded object), and apply a bandage when the bleeding has slowed down or stopped. Call triple zero (000) immediately.

Making an arm sling
After being bandaged, an injured forearm or wrist may require an arm sling to lift the arm and keep it from moving. Steps include:

Arrange the person’s arm in a ‘V’ so that it is held in front of their body and bent at the elbow, with the hand resting in the hollow where the collarbone meets the shoulder.
Open a triangular bandage and place it on top of the injured arm. The longest edge needs to be lengthwise along the person’s body and the point of the bandage should be towards the person’s elbow on their injured side. You only need enough material to tie a knot at the fingertip end.
Create a cradle (hammock) around the injured arm by folding the upper half of the long edge under the injured arm.
Gently gather the material together at the elbow and pull it tight without pulling the bandage off the injured arm. Twist the material into a long spiral.
Bring the long spiral around and then up the person’s back.
Tie the two ends together firmly at the person’s fingertips.

Using bandages during first aid
This information is of a general nature only and should not be considered a replacement for proper first aid training.

General suggestions include:

The injured person should be sitting or lying down. Position yourself in front of the person on their injured side.
Make sure their injured body part is supported in position before you start to bandage it.
If the injured person can help by holding the padding in place, wrap the ‘tail’ of the bandage one full turn around the limb, so that the bandage is anchored.
If there is no assistance, wrap the ‘tail’ of the bandage directly around the padding over the wound.
Bandage up the limb, making sure each turn overlaps the turn before. Alternatively, you can bandage in a ‘figure eight’ fashion.
Make sure the bandage isn’t too tight so you don’t reduce blood flow to the extremities (hands and feet). Check by pressing on a fingernail or toenail of the injured limb – if the pink colour returns within a couple of seconds, the bandage isn’t affecting the person’s circulation. If the nail remains white for some time, loosen the bandage. Keep checking and adjusting the bandage, especially if swelling is a problem.

5 Types of Basic First Aid
In an emergency, first aid provides an injured person with the necessary care, perhaps before paramedics arrive to offer medical treatment. Anyone who has received first aid training can provide this basic care — it may even result in a saved life. Since different emergencies require quite different action, what are the types of first aid you should know?

1. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Those trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can help a victim of cardiac arrest to start breathing again. CPR involves first checking the person’s airway is clear, then using rescue breathing and chest compressions to maintain blood circulation.

2. Bleeding

It’s important to stop a wound from bleeding to prevent the loss of too much blood. You’ll need to be able to identify the type of bleeding to determine its severity and know when the person needs medical attention.

3. Burns

To treat a burn, you need to remove its source (whether that’s heat, a chemical, or electricity) and then cool the affected area with running water for several minutes. Aloe vera and over-the-counter medication are useful for minor burns, whereas major burns require immediate medical attention.

4. Choking

An obstruction leading to choking can cut off a person’s air supply and lead to unconsciousness or even death. It’s important to recognize if someone is choking and needs help. Plus, you need to know what procedure is appropriate to use. For instance, when a person is unable to cough or talk but is still conscious, you should use the Heimlich maneuver; however, the appropriate first aid is different for someone who is unconscious.

5. Broken Bones

You should always treat any injury to a limb, hand, or foot as if it were a broken bone to prevent further damage. If it’s not an open fracture, the person is conscious, there is no heavy bleeding, and the skin appears normal, add a cold pack to the injury. You should also create a splint with padding for a limb injury, without trying to straighten the limb, before you head to the hospital. Broken bones related to the spine, head, pelvis, hip, and thigh are more severe and require emergency treatment. You’ll need to wait for an ambulance, as only a trained medical professional should move the injured person.

It’s crucial that your employees know at least the basic types of first aid to keep the workplace safe. Receive training for your team from MHSA. Check out our calendar to find dates that suit you for courses in emergency and standard first aid.

Learn the first aid method of DRSABCD
First aid is as easy as ABC – airway, breathing and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). In any situation, apply the DRSABCD Action Plan.

DRSABCD stands for:

Danger – always check the danger to you, any bystanders and then the injured or ill person. Make sure you do not put yourself in danger when going to the assistance of another person.
Response – is the person conscious? Do they respond when you talk to them, touch their hands or squeeze their shoulder?
Send for help – call triple zero (000). Don’t forget to answer the questions asked by the operator.
Airway – Is the person’s airway clear? Is the person breathing?
If the person is responding, they are conscious and their airway is clear, assess how you can help them with any injury.
If the person is not responding and they are unconscious, you need to check their airway by opening their mouth and having a look inside. If their mouth is clear, tilt their head gently back (by lifting their chin) and check for breathing. If the mouth is not clear, place the person on their side, open their mouth and clear the contents, then tilt the head back and check for breathing.
Breathing – check for breathing by looking for chest movements (up and down). Listen by putting your ear near to their mouth and nose. Feel for breathing by putting your hand on the lower part of their chest. If the person is unconscious but breathing, turn them onto their side, carefully ensuring that you keep their head, neck and spine in alignment. Monitor their breathing until you hand over to the ambulance officers.
CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) – if an adult is unconscious and not breathing, make sure they are flat on their back and then place the heel of one hand in the centre of their chest and your other hand on top. Press down firmly and smoothly (compressing to one third of their chest depth) 30 times. Give two breaths. To get the breath in, tilt their head back gently by lifting their chin. Pinch their nostrils closed, place your open mouth firmly over their open mouth and blow firmly into their mouth. Keep going with the 30 compressions and two breaths at the speed of approximately five repeats in two minutes until you hand over to the ambulance officers or another trained person, or until the person you are resuscitating responds. The method for CPR for children under eight and babies is very similar and you can learn these skills in a CPR course.
Defibrillator – for unconscious adults who are not breathing, apply an automated external defibrillator (AED) if one is available. They are available in many public places, clubs and organisations. An AED is a machine that delivers an electrical shock to cancel any irregular heart beat (arrhythmia), in an effort get the normal heart beating to re-establish itself. The devices are very simple to operate. Just follow the instructions and pictures on the machine, and on the package of the pads, as well as the voice prompts. If the person responds to defibrillation, turn them onto their side and tilt their head to maintain their airway. Some AEDs may not be suitable for children.
