BASIC LIFE SUPPORT FOR INFANT

PHRONESIS MEDICARE INTERNATIONAL BLS overview for infant Basic life support (BLS) is a basic level of medical care used to help sustain a person who is experiencing cardiac arrest or respiratory failure, until they can be given full medical care by an advanced responder. BLS can be used in any scenario where breathing or heartbeat has been compromised, such as drowning, heart attack, or severe shock (eg, severe loss of blood). BLS is more comprehensive than CPR alone, since it covers additional steps that are not expected from a layperson, as well as techniques for working with other rescuers. The techniques used for BLS vary slightly depending on whether the victim is an adult, child, or infant. This module explains the techniques and procedure for performing BLS on an infant. The adult and child procedures are covered in separate modules. Note: The term 'infant' in this context refers to neonates outside the delivery room setting, up to 12 months old. Children 12...

Nigeria Paramedics managing a victim of carbon monoxide poison

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that has no smell or taste. Breathing it in can make you unwell, and it can kill if you're exposed to high levels. Every year there are around 25 deaths from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning in England and Wales. After carbon monoxide is breathed in, it enters your bloodstream and mixes with haemoglobin (the part of red blood cells that carry oxygen around your body), to form carboxyhaemoglobin. When this happens, the blood is no longer able to carry oxygen, and this lack of oxygen causes the body’s cells and tissue to fail and die. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning aren't always obvious, particularly during low-level exposure. A  tension-type headache  is the most common symptom of mild carbon monoxide poisoning. Other symptoms include: dizziness nausea (feeling sick) and vomiting tiredness and confusion stomach pain shortness of breath  and d...
