tissues that causes blood
to escape from the
circulatory system.

WOUNDS

Apply firm, steady pressure for at least 5 minutes.
2. Elevate an injured arm or leg above the level of
the victim’s heart if possible.
3. When bleeding stops, secure the cloth with a
bandage. Do not lift the cloth from the wound to
check if the bleeding has stopped. Be sure that
the bandage is not too tight.
4. Check the victim for shock.
5. Use torniquets only when you cannot control
the bleeding.
CHEMICAL OR
COMPRESSED GAS

while compressed gas
burns can occur from a
sudden release of
pressurized gas
CHEMICAL OR COMPRESSED GAS
BURNS
Basic First Aid
1. Use a drench hose, emergency
shower, or eyewash for at least 15
minutes to rinse away all traces of
chemicals while removing any
contaminated clothing from the victim.
2. Cover the burn loosely with a clean,
dry cloth or special burn dressing.
3. Check the victim for shock.
HEAT OR ELECTRIC

-heat burns are caused
by contact with a heat
source, while electric
burns are caused by an
electrical current passing
through the body
HEAT OR ELECTRIC BURNS
Basic First Aid
Submerge the burned area in
cold, clean running water if the
skin is not seriously affected.
Avoid applying cream or any
form of ointment.
FAINTING
-a brief loss of
consciousness due to
drop blood flow to the
brain.
FAINTING
Basic First Aid
1. Ordinarily, fainting victims immediately
regain consciousness after. If this does not
happen, the victim should immediately be
brought to the emergency room.
2. For the first aid, the victim should be laid
down on their back and allow plenty of fresh
air. Apply cold compress in the forehead and if
the victim vomits, keep the windpipe clear by
rolling him to his/her side.
HEAT STROKE
-a life-threatening
medical emergency that
occurs when the body
can’t cool itself down and
its temperature becomes
dangerously high.
HEAT STROKE
Basic First Aid
1. Heat stroke is life-threatening so this should
never be taken for granted. Flush, hot and dry
skin, rapid pulse, very minimal perspiration, and
unconsciousness are signs of heat stroke.
2. You need to bring the victim to a cooler place
and lie him/her on the back with feet up, then
loosen clothing and remove footwear. Apply
cold compress or wet towel on the forehead,
neck, armpit, and extremities to cool the
victim. Treat the victim for shock or bring the
victim to the nearest hospital.
