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

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

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

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

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

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

CPR should be stopped only when the person starts breathing normally, emergency responders arrive, or you are too exhausted to continue.

Common symptoms of poisoning include nausea, vomiting, confusion, and difficulty breathing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Unlike heat exhaustion, heat stroke causes hot, dry skin and confusion, and is a medical emergency.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Diabetic emergencies can cause confusion, dizziness, sweating, and shakiness due to abnormal blood sugar levels.

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

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

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

Animal bites should be cleaned with soap and water, and medical help should be sought to assess infection risk.

If an allergic reaction affects breathing, administer an EpiPen if available and call 911 immediately.

Even if a head injury seems minor, delayed symptoms such as confusion, dizziness, or vomiting can indicate a serious problem.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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