Target: I will be able to describe procedures for emergency care and life saving
When giving first aid to someone who has become suddenly ill, first perform a Victim Assessment: A check of the injured or medically ill person to determine if victim has open airway, is breathing normally, or bleeding
Pg. 35

4. Fainting: Loss of consciousness for a short time because of a temporarily insufficient supply of oxygen to the brain
Put the victim on their back and elevate their legs 8-12 inches above the heart
Do not elevate the legs if you suspect a head/neck/back injury
Loosen tight clothing

5. Vomiting: ejecting matter from the stomach through the mouth
Turn the victim on their side
Give them small sips of clear liquids (never colored fluids) and increase as they can tolerate

6. Seizures: Uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain, which may produce physical convulsions.
Follow the BRAIN acronym: Be Calm, Remove Dangerous Objects, Always time the seizure, If a person has fallen turn on side and put something under their head, Never put anything in their mouth or hold them down
