A first aid kit is a collection of medical tools and materials that are used to treat injuries, diseases, and emergencies right away. It is intended to provide critical medical support until trained medical assistance can be obtained. In situations where accidents or medical emergencies could occur, such as homes, businesses, schools, and vehicles, first aid kits are frequently utilized. Atropine can be used in patients with CPA related to increased vagal tone and associated asystole or pulseless electrical activity ( IIb-B). Should the Customer wish to cancel this Agreement with effect from the expiration of the term of this agreement for any reason other than under the provisions of clause 11(b) – Default, this may be done by giving not less than 90 days written notice prior to the expiry date of this agreement to Alsco’s office. On expiry of such notice and the term of this agreement the Customer shall: Although ventilation remains a particularly important component of CPR in children, rescuers who are unable or unwilling to provide breaths should be encouraged to perform at least compression-only CPR. A child is far more likely to be harmed if the bystander does nothing.

If there is only one rescuer, with a mobile phone, they should call for help (and activate the speaker function) immediately after the initial rescue breaths. Proceed to the next step while waiting for an answer. If no phone is readily available perform one minute of CPR before leaving the child. The specific paediatric sequence incorporating the 15:2 ratio is primarily intended for healthcare professionals with a duty to respond to paediatric emergencies. Feeling for a pulse is not a reliable way to determine if there is an effective or inadequate circulation, and palpation of the pulse is not the determinant of the need for chest compressions. Electrocardiography (ECG) or Doppler blood pressure measurement to diagnose CPA in unresponsive, apneic patients is not recommended ( III-C) due to the reasons listed above for pulse palpation. 2,5

Educational materials

Every October an alliance of partners all over the world (including UK Ambulance Services, universities, and other charitable and public sector community-based organisations and first aid training organisations) come together to increase public awareness of cardiac arrests and the number of people trained in lifesaving CPR and defibrillation. The aim is to relieve the obstruction with each thrust rather than to give all 5 (hence you may not require all 5 if successful). There is emphasis on rescuers using mobile phones with speaker function to facilitate bystander access to dispatcher guided cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and to summon emergency medical services (EMS) without leaving the child or infant. Treatment of documented hypokalemia may be considered but clear benefit has not been shown ( IIb-C). 2,6 Accidents can unfortunately occur in the span of a single blink of an eye. Having a first aid kit at home can be essential for providing immediate care before professional help arrives for anything from minor cuts and bruises to more serious incidents. Ensuring prompt and effective responses in home and office settings

Continue with cycles of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths until they begin to recover or emergency help arrives. Consensus on Science with Treatment Recommendations, led by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Pulse palpation to diagnose CPA in unresponsive, apneic patients is not recommended ( III-B) given that: 2,5 If the nose and mouth cannot both be covered in the older infant, the rescuer may attempt to seal only the infant’s nose or mouth with their mouth (if the nose is used, close the lips to prevent air escape).If there is any doubt or if they were treated with abdominal thrusts, urgent medical follow up is mandatory. Fever reducers and painkillers: Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are examples of over-the-counter drugs that can help with pain relief and fever reduction.

It is the intention that this Agreement will form the basis of an undertaking between Alsco and the Customer by defining clearly all aspects of the service. Alsco cannot be held liable for consequential effects resulting from any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, an executed copy of which is held by the Customer. Barter LS.

The aim is to relieve the obstruction with each blow rather than to give all 5 (hence may not require all 5 if successful).Rapid identification of a patient requiring CPR allows more rapid institution of BLS and ALS, which increases the chance of ROSC. For both infants and children, if you have difficulty achieving an effective breath, the airway may be obstructed:
