3. First aid is the emergency treatment that is given to an injured or sick person or animal, often by someone who does not have medical training.
4. Basic first aid refers to the initial process of assessing and addressing the needs of someone who has been injured or is in physiological distress due to choking, a heart attack, allergic reactions, drugs or other medical emergencies.
5. You should always seek professional medical help as soon as you are able, but following correct first aid procedures can be the difference between life and death.
6. First aid can include cleaning minor cuts, scrapes, or scratches; treating a minor burn; applying bandages and dressings; the use of non-prescription medicine; draining blisters; removing debris from the eyes; massage; and drinking fluids to relieve heat stress.

10. First aid refers to medical attention that is usually administered immediately after the injury occurs and at the location where it occurred.
11. First aid is not classed as medical treatment and does not replace interventions from a trained medical professional.
1. You need to have read the contents of this first aid app in advance and really understood the things that he is describing.First Aid and Emergency Techniques is an excellent choice for a small manual or compendium about first aid treatments when you are in the outdoors.
2. As an R.N., responsible for preparedness, I've done considerable research to find a good reference app on First Aid which would be easily understood by a layperson...which would cover what might be needed in most any medical emergency.
3. I recommend downloading this app if you're looking for a great and compact first aid app to have around.I have been CPR/First Aid/AED infant child and adult certified every year for the past 6 years (refresher courses every other year) and I think this app is great.
4. I like that this app is current, has skills to practice with pictures, has review questions, and is easy to read and understand.I seriously believe that this may be the best First Aid manual ever written, and I do not say that lightly.
5. The topics are covered very well - succinct and as comprehensive as you could hope for in a portable manual.Being an RN, I am familiar with first aid, but I wanted to have something to go into our rather extensive 1st aid kit so anyone using it would have information at their finger tip.
6. In my humble opinion, this app is a perfect fit.Useful app to have if caught in an emergency situation with no manual on hand and not an expert in first aid.
7. Good for a quick reference.This first aid app definitely exceeded my expectations and I just know that it can come in handy when first aid is needed.
8. I find that it provides a good balance between things that you can attempt on your own and when you should head to the emergency room right away.
9. I leaned new things and corrected a few mistaken ideas I had about how to help, which only makes things worse still.I reading this the second time as there is so much good information to try and absorb.
10. It is well written, gives an easy to understand description of body system and how they work, gives step by step instructions on how to treat everything from abdominal injuries and abrasions to wasp stings and wrist injuries.
11. I have many First Aid manuals and I have been looking for a manual like this one for years.
