Let us assist with your emergency

At home, work, school or in public, a freak accident happens in a flash and most people's first reaction is to try and assist. In some cases where a person is choking we can all try our best at the Heimlich manoeuvre, but in more severe cases it is best to get trained paramedics in who can administer the correct emergency medicine. Paramedics play a vital role in the stabilisation of a patient, so it is best to leave intricate procedures for them to deal with - if you don't have medical training, do not try to administer emergency medicine yourself.

Choking

However, if you know what has lead up to the emergency situation you can take certain steps take that may save the person's life. Most of us have seen the Heimlich manoeuvre performed in movies and it is fairly easy to do. If a person is choking, simply stand behind them and place your fist just below the breast bone. Pull back sharply and the object should be dislodged fairly easily.

Drowning

If someone has been pulled from a swimming pool or other body of water where they could have swallowed water, put them flat on their back with their head tilted backwards and ensure that their airway is open. If you know what you are doing, do CPR and keep them still while you are waiting for medical assistance.

Fits

If someone is fitting, do not try to hold them, you might hurt yourself along with the patient. Try to move them to an area where they won't be able to hurt themselves if they fall. Once the fit has passed, move the person onto their side and ensure that their airway is open.
