An EpiPen (epinephrine) is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis, as it quickly reverses severe allergic reactions.

Cold therapy (ice) is recommended for the first 24-48 hours to reduce swelling and pain. Heat can worsen swelling early on.

Cold water is effective, but ice-cold water or direct ice application can cause further damage to the tissue.

If you suspect a heart attack, the first step is to call 911 immediately. Early treatment can prevent serious damage or death.

You should NOT remove an embedded object. Instead, apply pressure around it and seek medical help.

Clean the wound with soap and water and seek medical attention, as human bites can introduce harmful bacteria.

Moving the person to a cool environment and providing fluids helps reduce body temperature gradually.

Tilting the head back can cause blood to flow into the throat and airway. Instead, the person should lean forward and pinch their nostrils.

Swelling, deformity, severe pain, and inability to move the injured area are signs of a fracture.

Frostbitten areas should be warmed slowly using warm water (not hot) to avoid further damage.

Applying ice directly to a burn can cause further tissue damage. Instead, use cool (not ice-cold) running water.

Asthma inhalers should be used when symptoms appear, not only when a person is unconscious. Delaying treatment can be dangerous.

FAST stands for Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, and Time to call 911. Recognizing these signs early can save lives.

The first priority in treating a deep open wound is to apply direct pressure to control bleeding before cleaning and dressing the wound.

A concussion can have delayed symptoms, so the person should be monitored closely and should avoid activities that worsen their condition.

A person in cardiac arrest will be unresponsive, have no pulse, and will not be breathing normally.

Compressions should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep to effectively circulate blood.

If a person is unresponsive and has no pulse, CPR should be started immediately to maintain circulation and oxygenation.

A hypothermic victim should be warmed gradually with dry blankets and warm fluids, avoiding rapid temperature changes.

CPR is only performed if a person is unresponsive AND not breathing. If they are breathing, monitor them until help arrives.

Symptoms of shock include pale skin, weak rapid pulse, nausea, and excessive thirst. A slow, strong pulse is NOT typically associated with shock.

Third-degree burns destroy nerve endings, which may result in no pain. However, they are the most severe and require medical treatment.

A second-degree burn should be cooled with running water, covered with a clean bandage, and left undisturbed to heal.

Signs of heat stroke include confusion, hot/dry skin, and rapid pulse. Unlike heat exhaustion, the victim does NOT sweat.

Before assisting a victim, always turn off the power source to prevent further injury.

You should always handle a knocked-out tooth by the crown, NOT the root, to protect its delicate tissues for reattachment.

If someone is choking and unable to breathe, the first step is to ask if they need help. If they cannot respond, perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver).

The first step is to get the victim to fresh air immediately. Carbon monoxide is dangerous because it is colorless and odorless.

For adult CPR, hands should be placed in the center of the chest, on the lower half of the sternum.

CPR should begin immediately for a drowning victim who is unresponsive and not breathing to restore oxygen circulation.

Laying the person flat and elevating their legs improves circulation and helps restore normal blood flow to the brain.

Never place anything in a person's mouth during a seizure. Instead, clear the area around them and let the seizure pass.

Running cool (not ice-cold) water over a minor burn for several minutes helps reduce heat and prevent further tissue damage.

Pinching the nostrils and leaning forward helps stop bleeding while preventing blood from flowing into the throat.

Check if the person is responsive. If they are unresponsive, call 911 and begin CPR if needed.

Applying firm, direct pressure is the most effective way to stop bleeding from a deep laceration.

Agonal gasps (irregular, gasping breaths) are not normal breathing. CPR should be started immediately.

A person with a spinal injury should not be moved unless absolutely necessary. Keep them still and stabilize their head and neck.

If an inhaler is not available and the attack worsens, call 911 immediately as it may become life-threatening.

The recommended compression rate is 100-120 compressions per minute.

Flushing the eye with water for at least 15 minutes helps remove the chemical and prevent further damage.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is life-threatening, and the first step is to move the victim to fresh air immediately.

Tilting the head back can cause blood to go down the throat. Instead, the person should lean forward and pinch their nostrils.

You should call Poison Control immediately for instructions instead of trying to induce vomiting, which can make the situation worse.

A person with low blood sugar should be given a fast-acting sugar source like fruit juice or glucose tablets to restore normal levels.

Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can cause confusion, dizziness, sweating, and shakiness. Immediate treatment is needed.

Installing carbon monoxide detectors and ensuring proper ventilation can prevent dangerous CO buildup.

Applying direct pressure to a wound is the most effective way to stop severe bleeding.

Laying the person flat and elevating their legs improves circulation and helps restore blood flow to the brain.

A hypothermic person should be rewarmed gradually using dry blankets and warm fluids. Rapid warming can cause shock.
