25.01.2022 I am often asked about whether we should put vinegar on a box jelly-fish sting. The answer is YES! . A few years ago James Cook University did a study on how vinegar effects the nemotocysts and whether it is any benefit in preventing them from further firing. The study is called An in-vitro examination of the effect of vinegar on discharged nematocysts of Chironex fleckeri (Box Jellyfish).... The ARC (Australian Resuscitation Council) put out a statement saying....."The ARC is Australia’s peak resuscitation body and is responsible for developing guidelines for resuscitation and related emergencies. It does this within a framework consistent with the National Health and Medical Research Council recommendations for developing and reviewing clinical guidelines. As part of the ARCs ongoing guideline development process the findings of this study will be critically evaluated by the Council to determine if changes to the current ARC recommendations are required. Until this review process is complete, the ARC continues to recommend the use of vinegar for the treatment of Box Jellyfish stings." So the steps to take are 1) remove the patient from the water 2) call the ambulance early 3) restrain the patient from rubbing the stung area 4) observe airway and breathing and follow DRSABCD 5) FLOOD the area with VINEGAR for 30 seconds to prevent from further stinging and pick off remaining tentacles with your thumb and forefinger 6) if you DONT have vinegar pick off the tentacles and rinse the stung area with seawater. 7) DO NOT use fresh water as this may cause discharge of undischarged nematocysts.

23.01.2022 ARE YOU USING A SPACER? With the current air quality conditions around Australia people with #asthma are relying on their reliever / puffer medication more hea...vily. It is very important that you use a #spacer with your puffer. Using a spacer allows more medicine to get into the airways where it is needed. A spacer is recommended for all ages, not just children. http://ow.ly/NCbi50xVJhR #AsthmaMedication

15.01.2022 Always wear your PPE to prevent injury...or just hide!!

15.01.2022 One of the best skills you can take away from our first aid course is learning how to roll a spinal injured patient safely. These guys did it with precision as they handled their patient slowly and gently.

14.01.2022 Distressing news, the bushfire death toll and unaccounted for persons toll has risen today both on the fire fronts and from its smoke. An elderly #Canberra wom...an has lost her life to bushfire smoke.

08.01.2022 This explains from personal experience what happens when you drink large amounts of cold water quickly when you are in heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Please sip cool water, remove unnecessary clothing and go to a cool shaded spot.

01.01.2022 "We’re asking everyone to treat the decisions about where they go, what they do and who they meet with as life-and-death decisions because they are. It may no...t be your life, but your choices could be the difference between life and death for someone you love, or for a complete stranger. We all have a part to play in protecting ourselves and one another from COVID-19"- Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus See more
