🚨 FRACTURED LEG – DON'T MAKE IT WORSE 🦴🚨
A broken leg can cause severe pain, bleeding, and further damage if handled incorrectly.

⚠️ Signs of a fractured leg:
🦴 Severe pain
🦵 Swelling or bruising
📐 Deformity or abnormal position

🚫 Difficulty or inability to walk
😖 Tenderness at the injury site
⏱️ What to do immediately:

✔️ Ensure scene safety
✔️ Keep the injured leg still
✔️ Support and immobilize the leg in the position found
✔️ Apply a cold pack wrapped in cloth to reduce swelling
✔️ Seek medical help immediately

🚨 If trained:
✔️ Use a splint to immobilize the joints above and below the fracture

🚫 DO NOT:
❌ Try to straighten the leg
❌ Move the person unnecessarily
❌ Allow the injured person to walk on the leg

💡 Immobilization reduces pain and helps prevent further injury.

🚨 RESCUE BREATH INTERVALS – KNOW THE DIFFERENCE 🫁🚨
Rescue breathing is used when a person has a pulse but is not breathing normally.

👨‍🦰 Adults
✔️ Give 1 rescue breath every 6 seconds
✔️ About 10 breaths per minute
✔️ Check pulse every 2 minutes

👶🧒 Infants & Children
✔️ Give 1 rescue breath every 2–3 seconds
✔️ About 20–30 breaths per minute
✔️ Check pulse every 2 minutes

💨 Each breath should:
✔️ Last about 1 second
✔️ Produce visible chest rise
✔️ Avoid excessive ventilation

🚨 If there is no pulse:
✔️ Start CPR immediately
✔️ Do not continue rescue breathing alone

🚫 DO NOT:
❌ Give breaths too fast
❌ Give excessive volume
❌ Interrupt care unnecessarily

💡 Effective rescue breaths deliver oxygen while avoiding complications from over-ventilation.

🚨 CARDIAC ARREST IN PREGNANCY – TWO LIVES DEPEND ON FAST ACTION ❤️🤰🚨
Cardiac arrest during pregnancy is rare but extremely serious.

Immediate, high-quality CPR is essential.
⚠️ Signs of cardiac arrest:

❌ Unresponsive
❌ Not breathing normally or only gasping
❌ No pulse

⏱️ What to do immediately:
✔️ Ensure scene safety
✔️ Call for emergency help and request an AED

✔️ Start high-quality CPR without delay
✔️ Push hard and fast in the center of the chest
✔️ Use an AED as soon as available

🤰 Special consideration (advanced pregnancy):
✔️ If the pregnancy is visibly advanced (about 20 weeks or more), manually displace the uterus to the left side if trained, or slightly tilt the patient to reduce pressure on major blood vessels while maintaining effective CPR.

⚡ AED Use
✔️ AEDs are safe to use during pregnancy
✔️ Apply pads in the standard adult positions

🚫 DO NOT:
❌ Delay CPR because the patient is pregnant
❌ Delay AED use
❌ Stop compressions unnecessarily

💡 The best way to help the baby is to provide effective CPR and restore circulation to the mother as quickly as possible.

🚨 INFANT CHEST COMPRESSIONS – SMALL HANDS, BIG IMPACT 👶❤️🚨

When an infant's heart stops beating effectively, high-quality chest compressions can help maintain blood flow to the brain and vital organs.

⚠️ For infants (below 1 year):
✔️ Place the baby on a firm, flat surface
✔️ Compress the center of the chest just below the ni**le line

👶 Single Rescuer Technique
✔️ Use 2 fingers in the center of the chest
✔️ Compress about 1/3 the depth of the chest (≈4 cm / 1.5 inches)

👶👶 Two-Rescuer Technique (Preferred)
✔️ Use the two-thumb encircling technique
✔️ Place both thumbs side-by-side on the center of the chest

✔️ Encircle the chest with your hands to support the back
⏱️ Compression Rate
✔️ 100–120 compressions per minute

✔️ Allow full chest recoil after each compression
✔️ Minimize interruptions
💨 Compression-to-Breath Ratio

✔️ Single rescuer: 30 compressions : 2 breaths
✔️ Two rescuers: 15 compressions : 2 breaths
🚫 DO NOT:

❌ Use adult force
❌ Compress too shallow or too deep
❌ Interrupt compressions unnecessarily

💡 Effective chest compressions can be the difference between life and death.

✔️ Wash the area with clean water and soap
✔️ Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
✔️ Monitor for worsening symptoms
✔️ Seek medical help if severe reactions occur

🚨 BASIC LIFE SUPPORT (BLS) – THE POWER TO SAVE A LIFE 🚨
When a person suddenly collapses, the first few minutes are critical. Basic Life Support (BLS) helps maintain blood circulation and oxygen delivery until advanced care arrives.

⚠️ The BLS Approach:
✔️ Ensure scene safety
✔️ Check responsiveness

✔️ Activate emergency response
✔️ Check breathing and pulse (within 10 seconds)
✔️ Start high-quality CPR if needed
✔️ Use an AED as soon as available

❤️ High-Quality CPR Matters
✔️ Push hard and fast
✔️ Rate: 100–120 compressions per minute
✔️ Allow full chest recoil
✔️ Minimize interruptions

⚡ Early AED Use
✔️ Turn it on immediately
✔️ Follow the voice prompts
✔️ Resume CPR after shock delivery or as instructed

💡 The Chain of Survival:
🔗 Early recognition
🔗 Early CPR
🔗 Early defibrillation
🔗 Advanced medical care

🚫 DO NOT:
❌ Delay CPR
❌ Stop compressions unnecessarily
❌ Ignore scene safety

🩺 BLS is not just a skill—it is the difference between life and death.

🚨 SHOCK – THE SILENT LIFE-THREATENING EMERGENCY 🚨
Shock occurs when the body is not getting enough oxygen-rich blood. Without prompt treatment, vital organs can begin to fail.

⚠️ Signs of shock:
😰 Pale, cold, clammy skin
💓 Rapid, weak pulse

😮‍💨 Fast breathing
😵 Dizziness or confusion
🥶 Weakness or restlessness

😴 Loss of consciousness in severe cases
⏱️ What to do immediately:
✔️ Ensure scene safety

✔️ Call for emergency help
✔️ Lay the person flat if safe to do so
✔️ Control any severe bleeding

✔️ Keep the person warm and comfortable
✔️ Monitor breathing and responsiveness
🚫 DO NOT:

❌ Give food or drinks to an unconscious person
❌ Allow unnecessary movement
❌ Ignore worsening symptoms

💡 Shock can develop after injury, severe bleeding, burns, allergic reactions, or serious illness. Early recognition saves lives.

🚨 HOW TO CHECK AN AIRWAY – A LIFE-SAVING SKILL 🫁🚨
Before checking breathing, you must first ensure the airway is open and clear.

⏱️ Step 1: Ensure Scene Safety
✔️ Make sure there are no dangers to you, the victim, or bystanders.
⏱️ Step 2: Check Responsiveness

✔️ Tap and shout: “Are you okay?”
✔️ If there is no response, call for help.
⏱️ Step 3: Open the Airway
👨‍🦰🧒 Adults & Children

✔️ Place one hand on the forehead
✔️ Place two fingers under the chin
✔️ Gently tilt the head back and lift the chin (Head Tilt-Chin Lift)

⚠️ If neck or spinal injury is suspected:
✔️ Use a Jaw Thrust Maneuver if trained
✔️ Minimize head movement
👶 Infants

✔️ Keep the head in a neutral "sniffing" position
✔️ Avoid excessive head tilt, which can block the airway

⏱️ Step 4: Look for Obstructions
✔️ Check the mouth for visible objects
✔️ Remove only if clearly seen and easily reachable

🚫 DO NOT:
❌ Perform blind finger sweeps
❌ Push objects deeper into the airway

⏱️ Step 5: Check Breathing (No More Than 10 Seconds)
✔️ Look for chest rise and fall
✔️ Listen for breathing sounds
✔️ Feel for air on your cheek

🚨 If breathing is absent or only gasping:
✔️ Activate emergency response
✔️ Start CPR immediately
✔️ Use an AED as soon as available

💡 Airway → Breathing → CPR. An open airway is the first step toward saving a life.

🚨 HEART ATTACK vs CARDIAC ARREST – KNOW THE DIFFERENCE* ❤️🚨
Many people use these terms interchangeably, but they are not the same.

❤️ HEART ATTACK 👉 A circulation problem caused by blocked blood flow to part of the heart.
⚠️ Signs:

💔 Chest pain or pressure
😮‍💨 Shortness of breath
🤢 Nausea

😓 Sweating
💪 Pain spreading to the arm, jaw, or back
✔️ The person is usually awake and breathing.

⚡ CARDIAC ARREST 👉 An electrical problem where the heart suddenly stops pumping blood effectively.
⚠️ Signs:

❌ Sudden collapse
❌ Unresponsive
❌ Not breathing normally or only gasping

❌ No pulse
🚨 This is a medical emergency requiring immediate CPR and AED use.

💡 Simple way to remember: ❤️ Heart Attack = Heart still beating, but blood flow is blocked. ⚡ Cardiac Arrest = Heart stops pumping effectively.

⏱️ A heart attack can sometimes lead to cardiac arrest if not treated quickly.
