FIRST AID

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An 8 year old child in unconscious and the airway is blocked, you should:
A
Give abdominal thrusts
B
Begin CPR
C
Begin rescue breathing
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Give five rescue breaths: tilt their head back, seal your mouth over their mouth and pinch their nose. Blow five times into the child’s mouth. By blowing into their mouth you are topping up the oxygen levels in their blood. The oxygen you give them helps to keep their organs alive.

Detailed explanation-2: -Take a normal breath (not a deep one), and place your mouth over the child’s mouth, making a tight seal. Blow into the child’s mouth for 1 second, and watch to see if the child’s chest rises. If the chest does not rise, tilt the child’s head again, and give another breath.

Detailed explanation-3: -Children undergoing CPR should receive two breaths after every 30 chest compressions if there is a single rescuer. They should receive the two breaths after every 15 chest compressions if there are two rescuers.

Detailed explanation-4: -First Aid. Tell someone to call 911 or the local emergency number while you begin first aid and CPR. If you are alone, shout for help and begin first aid and CPR. Roll the person onto their back on a hard surface, keeping the back in a straight line while firmly supporting the head and neck.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lower the person onto the floor, with the back on the floor and arms to the sides. Clear the airway. If you can see the object, reach a finger into the mouth to sweep out the object. Begin CPR if the person still doesn’t respond.
