Infant CPR / Baby CPR

If a baby does not respond and is not breathing normally, call 911. Check for a brachial pulse. If there is no pulse, begin CPR on the infant. CPR should be performed with two fingers in the center of the chest, on the sternum, between the nipple line for 30 compressions followed by two breaths. Repeat this process until EMS arrives or advanced life support begins.

First Aid Manual: The Authorised Manual of St. John Ambulance, St. Andrew's Ambulance Association and the British Red Cross

 

 In this video a St John Ambulance trainer shows you what to do if your baby is choking and takes you through choking first aid for babies. Your baby may be choking if they suddenly become distressed, have noisy breathing, if they are unable to cry or cough. In some cases they may not be able to make any noise or breathe.

Pt 1: "Level 2" First Aid Kit

 

Part 1 of 5 My experiences in the outdoors led me to my Level 2 First Aid Kit concept. More capable in depth and breadth than my also-reviewed "Level 1" First Aid Kit, my Level 2 kit will weigh more and be bulkier but can better handle medium medical emergencies. 

 The kit shown focuses on capabilities in ROL (Rule of Law) situations where the priority is to stabilize the patient and effect transport to better facilities and care (when necessary). In group or vehicular outings, the increased size and weight of a typical Level 2 is more do-able. Similar to the Level 1, this kit still has an emphasis on stemming blood loss, disinfecting, pain stoppage, wound dressing, and bandage exchange. Size and weight are still players in this 5 lb kit and I don't achieve the capabilities of Level 3 or Paramedic-level lifesaving kit. As I say in the vid, that type of kit requires medical training and its use comes with extra liability and concerns as a first responder. However I have the Level 2 kit shown has handled my encountered medical situations adequately and absolutely blows away any other kits I've encountered along this POU. Components of the kit and the foundational "Nutnfancy" philosophies involved are explained. An annotated list of my typical Level 2 Kit may be forthcoming (another project!). Compared to even a quality first aid kit, like ones from Adventure Medical Kits this version has more depth i. e. multiples of common use items which can better handle longer duration scenarios. It is difficult for makers like AMK to make kits to this level because of the markedly elevated cost in doing so (and then they won't sell well because of that). As noted, my kits are transitional in nature and will include improved medical technologies that have merit and can improve or simplify my treatment capabilities. Handling medical emergencies on your adventures is your responsibility and help may be far away. You will also find that few people even carry a First Aid kit with this much capability and you will be the on-site medical expert since you're prepared (been there). Having such a kit will minimize pain, injury, and maybe even save a life... possibly yours.

First Aid Instructional Video

A video all about basic first aid provided by bystanders at the scene of an accident or incident.

Do you know how to administer first aid? Almost all of us remember some basic things about the rules of providing first aid. But is our knowledge correct, or is what we know too fragmented to be useful? Knowing basic first aid methods is very important, but it’s crucial to perform them correctly so as not to compromise the life you’re trying to save. 

TIMESTAMPS: Tilting your head back during a nosebleed 0:40 Forcing a fainted person to sit up 1:29 Putting heat on a sprain or fracture 1:59 Trying to remove debri from your body 2:31 Treating a burn too quickly 3:05 Going straight into the Heimlich maneuver for choking victims 3:37 Putting something in a seizing person’s mouth 4:10 Prioritizing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation for heart attack victims 4:52 Not knowing what you’re doing 5:43 Using a tourniquet for a bleeding wound 6:17 Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ 

SUMMARY: 

- Tilting your head back can make the blood travel from your nose to your throat, which means you could find yourself choking on or swallowing blood. 

- When someone faints, our immediate course of action is to try to sit them up, especially when shaking them doesn’t seem to be helping. Instead of all that, always start by checking their breathing and pulse. 

- Ice should be used for acute situations, like suddenly spraining your ankle. Heat is for chronic conditions, like back pain. - If the tool you use isn’t sterile or if you underestimate how deep the wound is, you risk getting an infection and doing further damage. - If the water is to actually help the skin, you need to hold the burn under it for at least 20 minutes. 

- The Red Cross has updated their guidelines on how to give first aid to choking victims, so instead of going straight for the Heimlich maneuver, here’s what you’re supposed to do instead. Stand behind the victim, lean them forward, and give their back 5 quick blows with the heel of your hand. 

- In a panic-induced state at seeing someone having a seizure, a lot of people immediately try to block the person’s mouth for fear of the victim biting their own tongue. This is actually dangerous for the victim and for the person trying to help. 

- A common mistake is to think that mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is more important than chest compressions. 

- The first line of action in all serious first aid situations is to call for help, and let a professional guide you through what you need to do. 

- If someone has a deep wound in their arm or leg, applying a tourniquet can stop the blood flow to the entire limb, which can actually starve the tissues of oxygen and possibly lead to amputation. Using a tourniquet should never be the first choice.

Infant CPR 2 Rescuer

When two rescuers are present to perform infant CPR, begin as usual with an assessment and activation of EMS. If the infant is not breathing and has no pulse, begin CPR. One rescuer performs chest compressions, the other rescue breathing. Continue a cycle of 2 breaths and 15 compressions for about 10 cycles or 2 minutes. At this point the two rescuers should switch places. This continues until the infant is revived or the next level of life support arrives.

The Emergency Bandage

The Emergency Bandage offers first responders, fire fighters, EMS, police, Military, and other field personnel the highest level of wound site compression with a multi-functional dressing for uncontrollable bleeding.
