Features
more than 175 illustrations and provides step-by-step instructions for administering
first aid. The first moments after an injury occurs are the most critical. This
authoritative guidebook, based on course materials used by Red Cross chapters
across the United States, shows you how to handle every type of first aid emergency,
including:
First
Aid Help
When someone becomes ill or injured there is usually a short
period of time before you can get professional medical assistance. It is that
length of time that is most critical to the victim. What you do, or don't do during
that period of time can make the difference between life and death.
By having some first aid training and knowing cardiopulonary resuscitation (CPR),
you can have a major impact to the successful outcome of a medical emergency.
Does your household or place of employment have a well stocked first aid kit?
Keep your kit in a location that is well known to other family members or coworkers.
Contact the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross to obtain information
on CPR classes.
Emergencies
There's all sorts of emergencies: a fire, an automobile accident,
a robbery, a burglary, a prowler outside your home, when someone is sick or injured
so badly that they need to go to the hospital. Non-emergency calls should be placed
on normal telephone numbers which may be found in the telephone book. Calls on
these lines are answered at the same location, by the same dispatchers, but they
don't tie up the "special" 9-1-1 lines.
If you need to dial 9-1-1 remember:
Stay calm! Before picking up the phone, take a deep breath and do your best to
relax. Pick up the phone, listen for dial tone, then dial 9-1-1. When the dispatcher
answers, simply state what you need; I need the police, I want to report a fire,
I need an ambulance. The dispatcher will then ask for the address or location
of the emergency. This is very important! Do you and other members of your family/workforce
all know your address? If not, let everyone know! Better yet, mark the address
by each telephone - that way it will be easy to remember. Do you know what city
or township you are located in?
Next, the dispatcher will ask you exactly
what is wrong - the "details" of your emergency. This is important information
too! Do not become upset that it is "taking too long", or that "they are asking
too many questions" remember, while one dispatcher is talking to you on the phone,
another dispatcher is putting your call out on radio to the emergency personnel.
Finally, the dispatcher will ask your name and telephone number. DO NOT hang up
until the dispatcher says it is okay to do so. If you are alone or frightened,
we'll stay on the phone until help arrives. For medical emergencies, the dispatcher
can transfer you to medically trained personnel who can tell you what to do until
the ambulance arrives.
