First Aid

The basic thing about first aid is to know how to help if somone is in need. The other things you will need to know includes calling someone for help, dialing the ambulance ( 995 ) and dialing another ambulance ( 1777 )

Calling for help
When helping someone, if you are unsure of what to do, please do not take any action as you may injure the person further. Instead, call an adult for help. If none is present at that time, seek the best that you can. If all fails, dial either one of the ambulances.

Dialling the Ambulance

There are two types of ambulances. One is the one that is only dialed for if it is a real emergency. Such examples are : The person has fainted, bleeding profusely or needs extensive help immediately. the ambulance will arrive in roughly about three- ten minutes depending on the distance apart. Another one is the one that is called when it is still an emergency but not as serious as the ones mentuioned above.

Such example are : An extremely bad stomache, Extremely bad headaxche or broke your bone ( a minor break but still serious )

Here's how to use a triangular bandage :

 

 

To make a large arm sling spread the bandage, as shown above, down the front of the victim's body. Carry one end over the shoulder on the uninjured side and bring it around behind the neck so that the end just hangs over in front on the injured side. Carefully place the bandage point behind the elbow, and gently bend the arm across the center of the bandage. Bring up the second end and tie to the end at the shoulder, making the knot (use a square knot) at the side of the neck, not behind.

The sling when it is completed should support the arm so that the little finger is slightly above the elbow. Finish it off by bringing the point forward around the elbow, and fasten it with a safety pin.
