25.01.2022 Coming across an unconscious casualty can be extremely frightening, especially if you are not sure what you should do. Unconsciousness is caused by an interruption of the brain's normal activity brought on by strokes, head trauma, seizures or lack of oxygen caused by other factors. Because their muscles become relaxed, including their swallowing muscles, if the casualty is NOT placed in the correct position their tongue may block their airway, or they may vomit, also blocking their airway. First Aid Training teaches students how to identify potential hazards of an Unconscious Casualty and how to confidently manage these hazards and the casualty until an ambulance arrives.
24.01.2022 Over exposure to cold conditions can induce hypothermia. Hypothermia is when the body's core temperature is less than 37 deg. It is frighteningly easy for a casualty to become hypothermic when exposed to extreme cold conditions combined with wet clothing, fatigue & hunger. Signs, symptoms & treatment for hypothermia vary depending on the severity of the condition which can be mild, moderate, severe and critical. With winter now upon us, it is important to be educated not only on how to treat a casualty with hypothermia, but also, how we can prevent it.

20.01.2022 First Aid and the Law: First Aiders are sometimes wary of administering first aid treatment as they are afraid of being sued by the casualty if they make a mistake. In an emergency, if a person is unconscious, the law states that the injured casualty has in fact given you permission to perform first aid. This consent is given as their life is in peril and they are not in a conscious condition to make an informed decision, thus if first aid treatment is not given they will die. Competent adults are legally entitled to refuse any treatment, even if it is life sustaining. Substitute decision makers, such as parents or guardians of children, can also refuse treatment on the child casualty but only if it is in the 'best interests' of the casualty. There is no documented case of a person being sued for administering first aid in Australia.
