The very first thing you should do is call for emergency help (or if someone

else is around, make sure they call 911). Then, while youre waiting, see what

you can do to help the person. Also, make your safety a priority, toootherwise,

youre of no use to anyone else.

How to Perform CPRWhen you think life-saving skills, the first thing that probably comes to mind

is CPR, the technique that could make all the difference for someone who has

collapsed and is under cardiac arrest. Its always best to take a class, so you

know the proper procedures and have practiced them beforehand. But, even

without official training, you could save a life if no one else with more CPR ex-

perience is around. Solely watching a

one-minute instruction video about

CPR could make you a better life-saver.

Hands-only CPR can be done for

anyone (except newborns) whose

heart has stopped beating, according

to the American Heart Association/

Mayo Clinic. With this technique, also

known as compression-only CPR, you

press down about two inches deep on

the chest at a rate of about 100 times

per minute until the paramedics ar-

riveand skip the giving breath part.

According to one medical review exam-

iner, singing the Bee Gees song Stayin

Alive will help you keep that tempo.

What to Do InCase of A Heart Attack

With one out of every seven deaths

happening in the US because of heart

disease, its important to know the

common signs of heart attacks and

what you can do to help a person going

through it. Sometimes, the symptoms

are obviously cardiac arrest (which would require CPR, above), and, at other

times, theyre not so dramatic and could just seem like heartburn. After calling

for help, if the person is over the age of 16 and confirms he/she isnt allergic to

aspirinand isnt taking any medications that could interact with itoffer a

tablet of aspirin, which the Mayo Clinic says could reduce damage to the heart.

How to Save Someone Whos DrowningDrowning is one of the most common causes of accidental death, especially

among children. If youre not a skilled swimmer who knows how to swim with

a possibly flailing person, the most important thing to know is that swimming

out to the person should be the last resort. Family Doctor offers this mnemonic:

Reach, throw, row, go.

Reach: If the person is near the edge of a pool or dock, lie flat on the ground

and try to reach the person. Use a tree branch, oar, towel or shepherds hook to

lengthen your reach. If you have to, get in the water and hold onto the pool edge

or dock while trying to reach the person.

Throw: Throw a safety ring, if available.

Row: Get a boat (again, if ones available).

Go: Swim out as the last resort. Bring a rescue safety ring, towel or shirt with

you so you can tow the person in.

How to Treat BleedingThere are different kinds of bleeding, from a minor scrape to the most dan-

gerous type, arterial bleeding. In either case, your goal is to stop the bleeding

as soon as possible. According to the Mayo Clinic, after washing your hands and

putting on gloves (if available; a clean plastic bag could suffice), you should:

Have the person lie down and cover him or her with a blanket. Elevate the site

of bleeding.

Remove any obvious dirt or debris from the wound, but leave any large or

deeply embedded objects.

Apply continuous pressure with a clean cloth or bandage for at least 20 min-

utes without looking to see if the bleeding has stopped.

Add more gauze if you need to.

If the bleeding doesnt stop, apply pressure to the artery: Pressure points of

the arm are on the inside of the arm just above the elbow and just below the

armpit. Pressure points of the leg are just behind the knee and in the groin.

Squeeze the main artery in these areas against the bone. Keep your fingers flat.

With your other hand, continue to exert pressure on the wound itself.

Leave the bandages in place and immobilize the injured body part once the

bleeding has stopped.

How to Treat a BurnLarge or severe burns should be treated by a medical professional, but Dr.

Matthew Hoffman offers this advice on WebMD for steps you can take:

Immediately after a burn, run cool tap water over the skin for 10 minutes.

Then, cool the skin with a moist compress. Dont put ice, butter or anything

else directly on the burned skin. Clean

the skin gently with mild soap and tap

water. Take acetaminophen (Tylenol)

or ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) for pain.

Simple burns involving only the very

surface of the skin do not need dress-

ings.

Recommendations include running

cold water for at least 20 minutes, as

this can help for up to three hours, and

also advises you to remove clothing and

jewelry. (That butter remedy really is a

myth, by the way. Apparently, people

would put yogurt, tomato paste, raw

egg whites, sliced potatoes and even

cooking oil on a burn. Butter might be

useful if you have hot tar on your skin,

but otherwise save those other items

for your meals instead.)

How to Deliver BabyThe fear of every pregnant woman

and her partner: Having to deliver the

baby without help. This might not be a

priority life skill for you if you dont of-

ten find yourself in the company of a pregnant lady, but one of the things about

survival skills is you never know when youre going to need them. So, take this

advice from The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook, which says that ba-

bies basically deliver themselves (but still could use a little help):

Time the uterine contractions. Youll know its most likely real rather than

false when contractions are about three to five minutes apart and last forty to

ninety seconds, as well as increasing in strength and frequency, for at least an

hour. This is for first-time mothers.

Support the babys head and then body as it moves out of the mothers body.

Dry off the baby and keep it warm. Dont slap the babys bottom, but do clear

out any fluid from the babys mouth with your fingers, if necessary.

Tie off the umbilical cord several inches from the baby with a piece of string

(e.g., a shoelace).

You dont have to cut the cord unless youre hours from the hospital. If thats

the case, safely cut the cord by tying it again a few inches closer to the mother

and cutting between the knots.

If you have absolutely no alternative and the baby is starting to emerge feet

first (a breech baby), the instructions are the same.

How to Carry Someone Heavier Than YouUsually, its best to leave a person whos hurt where they are until medical

help comes. You should never move a person who might have a head, neck, or

spinal injury. In other cases, however, you might need to move someone to a

safer location. If youre not very strong or that person is heavier than you, heres

how to lift that person without hurting yourself in the process:

With the person facing you, take the persons arm and pull it over your shoul-

der

Kneel down or crouch down so the persons middle is against your shoulder

Thrust up with your legs and hips to stand. Dont lean forward or youll hurt

your back.

The person will now be hung over your shoulder and you can walk around.

Hopefully, youll never need to put any of these life-saving tips into play, but

whether you have a first aid kit on you or not, at least youll know what to do

just in case.
