2 . Last week when I was reading at home, my younger sister rushed in and told me an old man was lying on the ground in front of our house. I immediately took my first- aid kit and ran downstairs. He was suffering a slight heart attack. And I performed CPR on him. Luckily, an ambulance came soon and he was taken to the hospital. Later that day I was told by the hospital what I did helped rescue the old man’s life. I was happy to hear that.     1     There were many people who wanted to help around the old man then, yet no one gave him first aid as they hadn’t attended a first-aid course.

    2     Here are my reasons.

    3     For your family, your neighbours or the broader community, having more people with first-aid skills helps build a stronger and more harmonious community.

You can stay safe at work.     4     With first-aid knowledge you can create a safe work environment and help meet your workplace’s safety requirements.

It’s helpful in choosing your future career. The first-hand experience you gain through learning first aid and using your skills could help you decide if you want to pursue a career in the health profession.     5

7 . FIRST AID FOR BURNS

The skin is an essential part of your body and is its largest organ. Your skin acts as a barrier against disease, toxins, and the sun’s rays. It also helps control your body temperature, prevents your body from losing too much water, warns you when things are too hot or cold, and gives you your sense of touch. As you can imagine, getting burnt can lead to very serious injuries. The first and most important step in the treatment of burns is giving first aid.

CAUSES OF BURNS

You can get burnt by a variety of things: hot liquids, steam, fire, radiation, the sun, electricity, acids, or other chemicals.

TYPES OF BURNS

Burns are divided into three types, depending on the depth of skin damage.

● First-degree burns These affect only the top few millimetres of the skin. These burns are not serious. Examples include mild sunburn and burns caused by other minor household incidents.
● Second-degree burns These go below the top layer of the skin. They are serious and take a few weeks to get better. Examples include burns caused by hot liquids.
● Third-degree burns These affect every layer of the skin, and sometimes the tissue under it. Examples include burns caused by electric shocks, burning clothes, or petrol fires. These burns cause very severe internal injuries and the victim must go to the hospital at once.
CHARACTERISTICS OF BURNS

First-degree burns ● dry, red, and mildly swollen ● mildly painful ● turn white when pressed Second-degree burns ● red and swollen; blisters; watery surface ● extremely painful

Third-degree burns ● black and white ● swollen; the tissue underneath can often be seen ● little or no pain if nerves are damaged; may be painful around the edges of the burned area

FIRST-AID TREATMENT

1 Place burns under cool running water, especially within the first ten minutes. The cool water stops the burning process and reduces the pain and swelling.

2 Dry the burnt area gently with a clean cloth.

3 Remove any clothes using scissors if necessary, unless you see the fabric sticking to the burnt skin.

4 Cover the burnt area with a loose clean cloth. Applying oil to the injured areas is a bad idea, as it will keep the heat in the wounds and may cause infection.

5 If burns are on the face, make sure the victim can still breathe.

6 If the victim is suffering from second or third-degree burns, there is an urgent need to take him/her to the hospital at once.
