If an inhaler does not relieve an asthma attack, call 911 immediately, as the attack may become life-threatening.

An AED is used when a person is unresponsive and has no pulse. It delivers a shock only if needed.

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

Keeping the head and neck still is crucial to prevent further spinal damage.

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

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).

Lying the person flat with legs elevated improves circulation and blood flow to vital organs.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For mild allergic reactions, an antihistamine like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can help reduce symptoms.

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.

Vomiting can worsen certain types of poisoning, such as chemical or petroleum-based substances. Always contact poison control first.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas, making it extremely dangerous.

Never hold down a person having a seizure. Instead, clear the area and protect their head while allowing the seizure to pass.

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

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

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

To check if someone is breathing, look for chest movement, listen for breath sounds, and feel for air movement on your cheek.

Do NOT push the bone back in. Instead, cover the area with a sterile dressing and immobilize the limb while waiting for emergency help.

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

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

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

Frostbite should be treated by gradually warming the affected area using warm water (not hot) and seeking medical help.

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

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

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

Cleaning the wound with water and covering it with a sterile dressing prevents infection and promotes healing.

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

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

A splint prevents movement of a broken or injured limb to avoid further damage.

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

Human bites can be more dangerous than animal bites because they often introduce harmful bacteria, leading to infection.

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

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

Wild animal bites carry a high risk of rabies or infection and should always be examined by a medical professional.

Inhaling toxic fumes can cause serious respiratory issues, and the first step is to move the victim to fresh air.

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

The best way to treat an electrical shock victim is to first disconnect the power source before providing first aid.

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