Common Emergencies Top
Vomitting (see Medline Plus : Emesis) Sprains (see Wikipedia : Sprain)
Give electrolyte solution or cold salted water in steady small amount. Fruit juices can also be given unless it is a baby. Don't over drink at one time. Avoid solid food until there is no vomitting for 6 hours. If lying down, move the face to one side. Send the person to the hospital if vomitting more than 24 hours, have blood or bile in the vomit, severe pain and headache. Do not perform activities which cause pain to the sprained area. Apply ice to the area several times a day, but never for more than 10-15 minutes at a time. Wrap the sprained area to reduce swelling - Compression. Cold water will do also. Keep the sprained area as close to the level of the heart as is conveniently possible. Apply appropriate liniment / balm by rubbing the sprained area.
Snake Bites Burns or Scalds
Use constrictive band intended to slow the spread of poison through the lymphatic system and it should be fairly loose. Try to get the poison out of the wound. Wash the wound with permanganate solution to remove poison on the skin. Keep person at rest. Call ambulance. Small minor burns without blister may be held under running water. No treatment is required. Larger burns should be covered and bandage firmly if no blisters. If have blisters, bandage lightly so as not to break it and do not apply anytihng. Seek immediate assistance.
Broken Bones
Broken limbs should be immobilised before moving. Broken upper limbs may be secured to the body. Lower limbs may be secured with sticks at both sides or secure to the other leg that is ok. Call an ambulance.
Fainting (see MayoClinic.com : Fainting) Bleeding and Wounds
If you feel faint, lie down or sit down and place your head between your knees. If someone else faints, let the person lie down and elevate the legs above the heart level if posible. Check the breathing and make sure that the airway is not blocked. Loosen belts, collars and clothing. Apply friction / rub the limbs upwards to stimulate the person. The person should revive quickly. If the person doesn't regain consciousness within one minute, call emergency medical assistance. If wound is not big, press on the wound with a piece of gauze, etc. to stop the bleeding. Wash around the wound, apply bandage firmly to stop the bleeding. If the wound is big, apply direct pressure, elevate the limb or wound above the heart, use pressure point to slow the artery above the injury and bandages. Tourniquet is a last resort method of bleeding control and should be done by emergency medical people. Call the ambulance.
