Campaigns for every workplace to provide a mental-health first-aider might sound like a gimmick or a token, but it is an important signal that makes people feel like mental health is something that they can legitimately talk about to the employers.
|
|
Control measures that could be used are clearly defined consent protocols and ease of withdrawing consent, health assessments including those to confirm that there are no traces of BBV, making sure there's a first aider present and implementing strong clinical waste processes.
|
|
Appropriate training on technique (inducing vomiting so as to not cause damage to the inner part of the mouth or throat and avoiding objects that could cause choking) could be used as a control measure, as could having a first aider there, and making sure there's a process for those in the scene to withdraw their consent at any time.
|
|
You could keep things under control using clearly defined consent protocols and making sure it's easy for the actors to withdraw their consent to the scene, have a first aider present, handle clinical waste processes well and give those on-set appropriate training on technique – inducing the release of faeces so as not to cause damage to the inner part of the anus and avoiding object that could cause internal trauma, for example.

|
It also avoids a common cause of death in unconscious patients, which is choking on regurgitated stomach contents. The airway can also become blocked by a foreign object. To dislodge the object and prevent choking, the first aider may use techniques such as ‘back slaps’ and ‘abdominal thrusts’. Once the airway has been opened, the first aider would reassess the patient's breathing.

First aider of the thumb Some people undertake specific training in order to provide first aid at public or private events, during filming, or other places where people gather. They may be designated as a first aider, or use some other title. This role may be undertaken on a voluntary basis, with organisations such as the 1.Red Cross society and 2.

Undeterred, he started digging again and soon shored up the tunnel which allowed a trained first aider to enter and see to the injured man, who was subsequently safely removed.
|
|
For situations that are more severe, complex or dangerous, a first aider might need to do the best they can with the equipment they have, and wait for an ambulance to arrive at the scene.

Some of them were later pepper-sprayed by riot police who arrived. The police refused to uncuff the unconscious protester, despite requests from the first-aider. The paramedic questioned whether arrests or saving life was more important. On 4 and 5 September, protesters gathered again outside the Mong Kok police station.

Volunteers receive training according to the role they fulfil. Those volunteering to provide Event First Aid services first attend a four-day Operational First Aid (FA) course, a four-day course covering common injuries and illnesses, basic life support, major trauma and serious illnesses, in addition to organisation-specific elements such as safe discharge, patient recording and the use of SJA Medicines packs, alongside practical work and scenario training. Further progression is to the Advanced First Aider (AFA) course, a four-day course covering oxygen therapy, intermediate airway management, the use of Entonox, splints, resuscitation, manual handling with equipment, enhanced patient assessment and extensive scenario training. Advanced First Aider is the standard required for entry to the Cycle Response Unit, Medical Response Team (a specialist resource for working in dense crowds) and Ambulance Training.

Drower's voluntary work included serving beside his mother as a Red Cross First Aider to support the Isle of Man's annual TT race. In politics, his affiliation was dark green. He deplored the Isle of Man's suburbanization, and believed that economic growth should be halted. Despite his middle-class upbringing, he had little regard for money, finding wealth in community and creativity rather than in pounds and pence.

If there is no breathing, or the patient is not breathing normally (e.g. agonal breathing), the first aider would initiate CPR, which attempts to restart the patient's breathing by forcing air into the lungs. They may also manually massage the heart to promote blood flow around the body. If the choking person is an infant, the procedure is to deliver five strong blows on the infant's upper back after placing the infant's face in the aider's forearm.

Permanent brain damage sets in after 5 minutes of no oxygen delivery, so rapid action on the part of the rescuer is necessary. An AED is a device that can examine a heartbeat and produce electric shocks to restart the heart. A first aider should be prepared to quickly deal with less severe problems such as cuts, grazes or bone fracture. They may be able to completely resolve a situation if they have the proper training and equipment.

In the Royal College, Rosie Hackett as a first-aid practitioner was allowed entry to the lecture room sanctioned to the Red Cross only. Another first-aider, Aider Nora O'Daily, later reported that during those days: “I have a very kind remembrance of Little Rosie Hackett of the Citizen Army, always cheerful and always willing; to see her face about the place was a tonic itself”. After surrendering, the rebels were taken to the Dublin Castle. Hackett was imprisoned in Kilmainham Jail for ten days.

After this, Janice decides that she wants to become a nurse, despite ridicule from her friends, but her new boss, Luke Strong (Craig Kelly), sends her on a first-aid course in March 2009 and makes her the factory first-aider. Janice's skills come in useful when Joshua Peacock (Benjamin Beresford) collapses after swallowing a bee at the Street's summer fete. He is later rushed to hospital and recovers. Janice later tells Kelly that she does not want to be a nurse any more from the horror that Joshua could have died.

The NHS recommend that anyone who has been subjected to abdominal thrusts should seek a medical examination afterwards. Researchers at Royal Brompton Hospital have demonstrated that similar intrathoracic pressures (50–60 cmH2O) are produced by a first aider performing abdominal thrusts inwards as are produced when the force is directed inwards and upwards. They argue that this may be easier to perform with less concern about injury to ribcage or upper abdominal organs. Self-administered abdominal thrusts by study participants produced similar pressures to those generated by first aiders.

As an Assembly Member, Hussain has campaigned on a number of local and national issues. He has worked with St John Cymru Wales to further their goal of having a 'first aider on every street', running community first responder training sessions in Swansea as well as working to help bring their cycle responder unit project that has been successfully piloted in Cardiff further west to Swansea and Bridgend. He has also campaigned for all schools in Wales to have defibrillators. Hussain has been a strong proponent of improving town centres and reducing unoccupancy rates, speaking out about problems with the road layout of Swansea's Kingsway prior to the council making changes.

Pepe the Frog became a symbol of resistance during the 2019 Hong Kong protests. In August 2019, it was reported that various demonstrators at the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests were using Pepe as a "resistance symbol". Hong Kong protestors began to use depictions of Pepe the Frog as a symbol of liberty and resistance against the extradition bill and police brutality in the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests. New images of Pepe the Frog surfaced showing Pepe with an injured eye after a young female first aider got her eye gouged by a projectile thrown by police and spurred a new protest campaign called "An eye for an eye".

Assessment of circulation is now not usually carried out for patients who are not breathing, with first aiders now trained to go straight to chest compressions (and thus providing artificial circulation) but pulse checks may be done on less serious patients. Some organizations add a fourth step of "D" for Deadly bleeding or Defibrillation, while others consider this as part of the Circulation step simply referred as Disability. Variations on techniques to evaluate and maintain the ABCs depend on the skill level of the first aider. Once the ABCs are secured, first aiders can begin additional treatments or examination, as required if they possess the proper training (such as measuring pupil dilation).

The first major text on athletic training and the care of athletic injuries was called Athletic Training (later changed to The Trainer's Bible) written in 1917 by Samuel E. Bilik. Early athletic trainers had "no technical knowledge, their athletic training techniques usually consisted of a rub, the application of some type of counterirritant, and occasionally the prescription of various home remedies and poultices". In 1918, Chuck Cramer started the Cramer Chemical Company (now Cramer Products) that produced a line of products used by athletic trainers and began publishing a newsletter in 1932 entitled The First Aider. An organization named the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) was founded in 1938 and folded in 1944.

It is performed by placing the index and middle fingers to physically push the posterior aspects of the lower jaw upwards while their thumbs push down on the chin to open the mouth. When the mandible is displaced forward, it pulls the tongue forward and prevents it from obstructing the entrance to the trachea. Traditionally, the jaw-thrust maneuver has been considered the better alternative (rather than the head- tilt/chin-lift maneuver) when a first aider suspects that the patient may have a spinal injury (especially one to the neck portion of the spine). The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation has reviewed various studies that found no spine-protecting advantage to the jaw-thrust maneuver.

Response bicycle of the London Ambulance Service A cycle responder is a medically trained responder, such as a paramedic or first aider that uses a bicycle to respond to a medical emergency. They are used by professional ambulance services to respond to emergency calls and also by private and voluntary providers of medical cover at events. Cycle responders are provided in order to provide fast, effective medical assistance to patients in areas in which a traditional road ambulance or response car would have a delayed response time, and where responders on foot may not be fast enough, or cannot provide sufficient cover over an area. This means that they are primarily deployed in areas of high traffic congestion, such as city centres, with large cities such as London and Manchester making extensive use of them.

People who are unable to breathe on their own will require positive pressure to move oxygen into their lungs for gaseous exchange to take place. Systems for delivering this vary in complexity (and cost), starting with a basic pocket mask adjunct which can be used by a basically trained first aider to manually deliver artificial respiration with supplemental oxygen delivered through a port in the mask. Many emergency medical service and first aid personnel, as well as hospitals, will use a bag- valve-mask (BVM), which is a malleable bag attached to a face mask (or invasive airway such as an endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway), usually with a reservoir bag attached, which is manually manipulated by the healthcare professional to push oxygen (or air) into the lungs. This is the only procedure allowed for initial treatment of cyanide poisoning in the UK workplace.
