First Aid,Learn It by Yourself
When we are injured or suddenly feeling unwell, what we need to do is to treat it in the right way. How can we do that? First aid (急救) is here to help.
First aid is the first steps you can take to care for someone who’s injured. It includes keeping safe, helping someone feel better and staying calm. It also includes getting help, either by telling an adult or calling 120.
Sept 14 is World First Aid Day. It’s time for us to learn about this useful life skill.
Nosebleed ![]() | Ask the person to lean (倾斜) forward and pinch (捏) his/her nose for five to six minutes. Do not move the head backward, as the blood can run into their mouth or even lungs. |
Choking ![]() | Stand behind the choking (因噎住而窒息 ) person, put your arms around their waist and lean him or her forward. Make fists with your hands and thrust (猛烈施压) your fists into their stomach. Do this up to five times. You can also do back blows – firmly slap (拍打) their back with your hand. If the object still doesn’t come out, call 120. |
Broken bone ![]() | If the bone is broken, keep it still. You can support it with your hands or clothes to stop movement. Then, find an adult or call 120 for further help. |
Burn ![]() | Quickly cool the burned area with cold running water. You should do this for at least 10 minutes. Then, call an adult for help or go to the hospital. Do not use ice. It can make the injury even worse. |
