21.01.2022 Summer is here and Bluebottle stings are very common in Queensland, do you know what to do if someone gets stung? 1. Carefully remove any remaining tentacles by gently washing the area in seawater and carefully picking off any tentacles, taking care to avoid further stings (preferably by wearing gloves) 2. Washing the sting with vinegar is NOT recommended for bluebottle stings.... Immerse the area where the bluebottle sting has occurred in hot water (45 degrees Celsius no hotter than the rescuer can comfortably tolerate) for at least 20 minutes or, if this is not possible, direct a hot shower on the area for this length of time. Use of hot water is more effective at reducing the pain of bluebottle stings than the previously advised use of ice packs and cold water. However, if hot water is not available a cold pack may help. 3. If after this treatment there is continuing pain, itchiness or blistering at the site of the sting, it would be best to visit a doctor who might prescribe a topical treatment such as a cortisone cream to reduce the inflammatory reaction.

20.01.2022 SMOKE INHALATION Although many people associate fire casualties with heat and flames, smoke inhalation is actually the leading cause of death amongst those who get caught in fires. Treatment... - Get the person to safety and into fresh air if it is safe for you to do so. - If someone is showing the above symptoms you should call 000. - If conscious: sit the person down or lay them on their side. - If alert ask the person whether they have any medical conditions. - If they are not breathing perform CPR. Ensure the person seeks medical attention to be assessed for more serious health implications. If left untreated, severe smoke inhalation can be fatal due to complications. People with asthma may have a more severe reaction to smoke inhalation than other people. If the person is conscious apply the following plan. #smoke #smokey #fires #bushires #smokeinhalation #asthma #breathing #firstaid #firstresponder #goldcoast #queensland #northernnsw #australia #cpr

20.01.2022 The smoke from the bushfires is causing grief not only for those directly affected of course, but also for those in neighbouring regions who suffer with asthma. Basic Asthma First Aid: Rule: 4x4x4... Using a blue/grey puffer, place mouth piece between teeth and seal lips around it. Press once on puffer and breathe in slowly and deeply. Hold breath for 4 seconds. Breathe out slowly away from puffer. Repeat 1 puff/breathe at a time until 4 puffs/breathes have been taken. Wait 4 minutes and repeat if necessary. #asthma #firstaid #cpr #asthmamanagement #puffer #ventalin #firstaidcourse #asthmaandanaphylaxis #asthmatraining #firstaidtraining

19.01.2022 Important information on EpiPen (both the 150mcg and 300mcg doses) from Mylan Australia A US study found a very limited number of cases in which the administra...tion of EpiPen 300mcg and EpiPen Jr 150mcg adrenaline (epinephrine) autoinjectors may potentially be delayed or prevented. The information in this notification serves as an important opportunity to remind people about careful handling, correct administration of EpiPen, and recommendation to carry two EpiPen or EpiPen Jr devices at all times.

19.01.2022 Some feedback about our new online learning system from one of First Aid Clients, "I personally learnt and absorbed way more doing the online training yesterday as opposed to a whole day face to face. I was not rushed and went at my own pace. I have sometimes found the live courses to be very rushed and just so much talking it is hard to absorb. ... So I hope this online option stays as a method of training. The videos were excellent and questions too. " - Cathy

12.01.2022 Spider Bites and how to treat them, Whilst many spiders aren't poisonous. Bites can sometimes be severe and develop late. Poisonous spiders, such as Funnel Web Spiders and Redback Spiders, generally live in undisturbed areas, such as attics or sheds, and can be quite aggressive when threatened.... Symptoms include swelling, redness and pain around the bite. Treatment usually includes cleaning the bite, applying ice and watching for infection. If infection occurs call emergency services immediately. To learn how to better treat for spider bites and other injuries give us a call on 55226542 to book in for a First Aid Course. https://accreditedtrainingcompany.com.au/ #firstaid #spider #spiderbite #australia #accreditedtraining #summer2020 #CPR #goldcoast #educationsaveslives #saftey

12.01.2022 First aid for burn injuries - Protect your own safety at all times - For all burns apply cold running (tap) water for at least 20 minutes... - If running water not available, wet 2 cloths and alternate them onto the burn every 2 minutes - Keep the rest of the body warm - Do NOT use ice, butter, creams, etc. - Remove clothing and jewellery as they can hold heat on the burn and jewellery can stop blood flow to the burn. Seek medical attention for any burn bigger than a 20 cent coin, or that blisters or if there are any concerns. #firstaid #burn #fire #bushfire #firstresponder #cpr #burntreatment #goldcoast #professionaldevelopment #privatecourses

06.01.2022 Some useful information I found shared by a friend. Worth a read That bite of summer has well and truly come early this year and with that heat, comes snakes. ...This article was written by Rob Timmings Rob runs a medical/nursing education business Teaching nurses, doctors and paramedics. Its well worth the read #ECT4Health 3000 bites are reported annually. 300-500 hospitalisations 2-3 deaths annually. Average time to death is 12 hours. The urban myth that you are bitten in the yard and die before you can walk from your chook pen back to the house is a load of rubbish. While not new, the management of snake bite (like a flood/fire evacuation plan or CPR) should be refreshed each season. Lets start with a Basic overview. There are five genus of snakes that will harm us (seriously) Browns, Blacks, Adders, Tigers and Taipans. All snake venom is made up of huge proteins (like egg white). When bitten, a snake injects some venom into the meat of your limb (NOT into your blood). This venom can not be absorbed into the blood stream from the bite site. It travels in a fluid transport system in your body called the lymphatic system (not the blood stream). Now this fluid (lymph) is moved differently to blood. Your heart pumps blood around, so even when you are lying dead still, your blood still circulates around the body. Lymph fluid is different. It moves around with physical muscle movement like bending your arm, bending knees, wriggling fingers and toes, walking/exercise etc. Now here is the thing. Lymph fluid becomes blood after these lymph vessels converge to form one of two large vessels (lymphatic trunks)which are connected to veins at the base of the neck. Back to the snake bite site. When bitten, the venom has been injected into this lymph fluid (which makes up the bulk of the water in your tissues). The only way that the venom can get into your blood stream is to be moved from the bite site in the lymphatic vessels. The only way to do this is to physically move the limbs that were bitten. Stay still!!! Venom cant move if the victim doesnt move. Stay still!! Remember people are not bitten into their blood stream. In the 1980s a technique called Pressure immobilisation bandaging was developed to further retard venom movement. It completely stops venom /lymph transport toward the blood stream. A firm roll bandage is applied directly over the bite site (dont wash the area). Technique: Three steps: keep them still Step 1 Apply a bandage over the bite site, to an area about 10cm above and below the bite. Step 2: Then using another elastic roller bandage, apply a firm wrap from Fingers/toes all the way to the armpit/groin. The bandage needs to be firm, but not so tight that it causes fingers or toes to turn purple or white. About the tension of a sprain bandage. Step 3: Splint the limb so the patient cant walk or bend the limb. Do nots: Do not cut, incise or suck the venom. Do not EVER use a tourniquet Dont remove the shirt or pants - just bandage over the top of clothing. Remember movement (like wriggling out of a shirt or pants) causes venom movement. DO NOT try to catch, kill or identify the snake!!! This is important. In hospital we NO LONGER NEED to know the type of snake; it doesnt change treatment. 5 years ago we would do a test on the bite, blood or urine to identify the snake so the correct anti venom can be used. BUT NOW... we dont do this. Our new Antivenom neutralises the venoms of all the 5 listed snake genus, so it doesnt matter what snake bit the patient. Read that again- one injection for all snakes! Polyvalent is our one shot wonder, stocked in all hospitals, so most hospitals no longer stock specific Antivenins. Australian snakes tend to have 3 main effects in differing degrees. Bleeding - internally and bruising. Muscles paralysed causing difficulty talking, moving & breathing. Pain In some snakes severe muscle pain in the limb, and days later the bite site can break down forming a nasty wound. Allergy to snakes is rarer than winning lotto twice. Final tips: not all bitten people are envenomated and only those starting to show symptoms above are given antivenom. Did I mention to stay still. ~Rob Timmings Kingston/Robe Health Advisory #vrarescue #snakebite

02.01.2022 Smoke Inhalation Most people die from smoke inhalation well before a fire reaches them. This shocking statistic reveals just how dangerous smoke inhalation can be for a person.

The tightness in the chest and inability to catch a breath can be a terrifying experience for anyone.... Book into a First Aid course today, to educate yourself on how to address smoke inhalation. #firstaid #smoke #cpr #smokeinhalation #firstresponder #tightchest #lifethreatening #grouptraining #professionaldevelopment #firstaidcourse #goldcoast

01.01.2022 MANAGING A CUT: Rinse the cut or wound with water and apply pressure with sterile gauze, a bandage, or a clean cloth. If blood soaks through the bandage, place another bandage on top of the first and keep applying pressure. Elevate the injured body part to slow bleeding. When bleeding stops, cover the wound with a new, clean bandage and/or gauze and tape or a bandaid if minor. If bleeding does not stop quickly, or the cut is deep, call 000 and seek medical assistance. ... #firstaid #cpr #health #rescue #lifeguard #lifesaving #royallifesaving #swim #swimming #swimteacher #swimcoach #goldcoast #rto #training #resuscitation #asthma #anaphylaxis #firstresponder #getqualified #shortcourse #professionaldevelopment #austswim #rlssq #atc #queensland
