The importance of first aid

    First aid is the immediate care given to a person who has been injured or suddenly ill, including self- help and home care if medical help is not available or delayed. First aid knowledge means life or death during an emergency situation so that the greatest possible good may be done for the greatest number of people.

    General Treatment to Burns

    Move the injured away from the heat source.

    Check the breathing and pulse as well as the extent and depth of burns.

    Flush the burnt area with water to reduce pain.

    Cover the wound with a sterilized(已消毒的) dressing.

    For facial burns, use sheet or something else to cover the burnt area.

    Heatstroke(中暑)

    To avoid heatstroke, you should stop rough activities in hot weather. If you are still to go outdoors, you should:

    wear light loose-fitting clothing;

    rest in a cool place as often as possible;

    drink pure water or fruit juice;

    avoid beverage(饮料) such as milk, tea, wine and beer.

    First Aid Training

    There are some organizations giving first aid courses recognized by the local government. For more information, you can call the Fire Services Ambulance Command Training School on 2640 3708.

    What are you going to do if you are in a burning(燃烧的) house? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.

    It's important to know the right way to run away, such as exits and stairways, but not lifts.

    For the lower floors of buildings, escaping (逃跑) from the windows is possible. When you are on the second floor, it's usually not high from the ground. It's about the height of an adult. It's safer to jump out of the house than to stay in it.

    Be sure to keep the door closed. If you don't do that, smoke may come into the room where you are. It's harmful to you. In that condition, you had better keep your head low to make sure that you can breathe fresh air rather than smoke.

    If you are on high floors, you can go up to the roof. Don't shout

all the time because you need to save energy and wait for rescue(救援).

    If a boy is lying on the ground and isn't moving making a sound, and he is ，what can we do to help him? First of all, find out what's with him. And I ask him if he has trouble you or speaking to you, you can shout for help or call 120. Before help arrives, make him comfortable. And sure he's warm and cover him with a coat.
