12. Remove Danger YES Resuscitation  Give 30 chest compressions, then 2 rescue breaths.  Continue giving cycles of 30 compressions to 2 rescue breaths.  Only stop to recheck the casualty if they start to wake up AND start breathing normally.  If there is more than one rescuer, change over every 1 - 2 minutes to prevent fatigue. 30 to 2 Resuscitation flow chart 3 Open Airway A Normal Breathing? Call 999/112 Now (If not already done) NO B Danger? D Response? NO Help! R

For a baby under 1 year, use two fingers For a child over 1 year, use one or two hands to achieve an adequate depth The following minor modifications to the adult sequence will, however, make it even more suitable for use in children: If you are on your own, perform resuscitation for about 1 minute before going for help Give five initial rescue breaths before starting chest compressions Compress the chest by about one-third of its depth: Child and baby CPR 7

18. Vomiting 8 Gurgling noises when giving rescue breaths?

37. Diabetes – untreated 24 insulin sugar

38. Diabetes – low blood sugar 24 sugar insulin Overdosed on insulin Or not eaten enough food; Or over exercised.

39. Oxygen + Food = Energy = LIFE Why is low blood sugar so dangerous? glucose Brain cells can only use glucose (sugar) for energy. Diabetes – low blood sugar 24

High Blood Sugar Low Blood Sugar Onset Slow Fast Levels of response Deteriorate slowly Deteriorate rapidly Skin Dry and Warm Pale, cold, sweaty Breathing Deep sighing breaths Shallow and rapid Pulse Rapid Other symptoms Excessive urination Very thirsty Hunger Fruity smell on breath May be confused for drunkenness Diabetes 24
