First aid restoring breathing artificial respiration lifesaving technique
Reviving people suffering from lack of breath respiration saving their lifes by getting them breathing again. Heart lung revival by getting injured people inhaling air again via nose, throat, wind pipe into their lung. Blood needs oxygen. Inhalation muscles to fill lung again. Preventing suffocation. Knowledge of first aid procedures can save lives. Watch this first aid video tutorial to learn how to perform rescue breathing on an adult whose heart is working. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique useful in many emergencies, including heart attack or near drowning, in which someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped. The American Heart Association recommends that everyone — untrained bystanders and medical personnel alike — begin CPR with chest compressions. Airway: Clear the airway
If you're trained in CPR and you've performed 30 chest compressions, open the person's airway using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver. Put your palm on the person's forehead and gently tilt the head back. Then with the other hand, gently lift the chin forward to open the airway.
Check for normal breathing, taking no more than five or 10 seconds. Look for chest motion, listen for normal breath sounds, and feel for the person's breath on your cheek and ear. Gasping is not considered to be normal breathing. If the person isn't breathing normally and you are trained in CPR, begin mouth-to-mouth breathing. If you believe the person is unconscious from a heart attack and you haven't been trained in emergency procedures, skip mouth-to-mouth breathing and continue chest compressions.
Breathing: Breathe for the person
Rescue breathing can be mouth-to-mouth breathing or mouth-to-nose breathing if the mouth is seriously injured or can't be opened.
With the airway open (using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver), pinch the nostrils shut for mouth-to-mouth breathing and cover the person's mouth with yours, making a seal.
Prepare to give two rescue breaths. Give the first rescue breath — lasting one second — and watch to see if the chest rises. If it does rise, give the second breath. If the chest doesn't rise, repeat the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver and then give the second breath. Thirty chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths is considered one cycle.
Resume chest compressions to restore circulation.
If the person has not begun moving after five cycles (about two minutes) and an automated external defibrillator (AED) is available, apply it and follow the prompts. Administer one shock, then resume CPR — starting with chest compressions — for two more minutes before administering a second shock. If you're not trained to use an AED, a 911 or other emergency medical operator may be able to guide you in its use. If an AED isn't available, go to step 5 below.
Continue CPR until there are signs of movement or emergency medical personnel take over.

Guide: Check first aid kit regularly
2011-07-07 For those arriving by car on vacation should also think
about the first aid kit. Its contents may not only help in an
accident, to save lives, but also provide useful in case of injuries
during the holiday services. This is indicated by the Society for
Technical Supervision (GTÜ) to.
The, first-aid "box is often for years unnoticed in the spare wheel
well or in the farthest corners of the trunk. He is following the road
traffic act, with its 37 components required in each car carried. But
in addition to the pure existence it also must be monitored regularly.
In most cases, the expiration date has expired or the content no
longer meets the current requirements. advises GTÜ therefore, to the
first aid kit regularly, because what good pavement, when they no
longer sticky, or disposable gloves if they become porous? Since 18
years, each bearing an expiration date first aid kit is located on the
copy in the car any more, so is the box -. or at least its contents -
same applies immediately replaced with an expired date, and for
supplies, and other..
Since its introduction in the early 1970s, has that which exists in a
first aid kit must be changed constantly. Currently, the DIN 13 164
controls in the version of 1 July 2000 all that entails mandatory: 1x
plasters DIN 13019-A, 2.5 cm x 500 cm, 8x wound plasters DIN 13019-E,
10 cm x 6 cm, 1x dressing packs big, DIN 13151-G, 3x-dressing medium,
DIN 13 151-M, 1 gauze DIN 13152-A, 60 cm x 80 cm, 2 gauze DIN
13152-BR, 40 cm x 60 cm, 6 x Dressing 10 cm x 10 cm, 3x gauze DIN 61

Anyone who owns an older first-aid kit, but it must not be replaced
immediately, as long as the expiry dates of the contents are not
passed, he may remain in the car. Nevertheless, you should upgrade
things like a blanket, which advises GTÜ, finally, they can protect
injured accident victim against hypothermia. The blanket is it for
example in the automotive aftermarket. DIN-compliant dressing material
to replace the kit contents is available at any pharmacy. And instead
of in the spare wheel should the first aid kit or first aid kit are
stowed within easy reach. Ideal is a spacious glove compartment. Also
suitable, for example, the storage space under the seats or easily
accessible side pockets of the trunk. Because only then, when he is
ready to hand, the first aid kit is good and save lives.
Also advisable is to periodically refresh the first-aid skills,
because the recovery position and proper wound first aid can save
lives.

Vienna. Stone chips in windscreens are best immediately pasted over
with a special "first-aid patch". In order to prevent motorists to
penetrate during the further drive dirt and moisture into the breaking
point.
This is indicated by the Austrian Automobile, Motorcycle and Touring
Club (ÖAMTC) in Vienna back. Only a "clean" impact site can be
generally repaired with special glass repair process, which is also
taken over most of the partial cover. This will save motorists the
expensive replacement of the damaged disc.
Basic knowledge of animal medicine, treatments and predator control arouse interest
Basic knowledge of animal medicine, treatments and predator control
arouse interest
In less than a year lived 135 farmers in the four public lectures of
Agra, where the basic concepts of animal health, predator control and
marketing were discussed. The program is supported by various
companies and CCF.
Kiep Lepen (2nd from left) of Agra gave an insight into the livestock
auctions and explained to the participants pay attention to what they
should do if they market their animals. Dr. Rainer Hassel (seated
left) explained the veterinary aspects that should be observed every
farmer. Bohitile Clara, (3rd from left) led by the program.
Windhoek - A look at the livestock auctions, successful farming in
harmony with nature, veterinary aspects of health, the economic
benefits of Zufutter and first-aid kit were for cattle, the subjects
were yesterday treated to the fifth public talk of Agra. It was the
second presentation to the public of its kind in Windhoek. 60 people
had registered for the lecture, which opened recently in the Agra /
Bank Windhoek multipurpose center was offered. Among the participants
stayed for the first time five unemployed people who had been notified
by the organization "Men on the Side of the Road". This charitable
organization is trying to collect unemployment to motivate them, where
possible, to train and eventually teach. Agra has some of the
organization offered the job seekers admit to the lectures, so that
they might find a job later on farms, said the marketing manager of
Agra, Birgit Hoffmann.
The municipal, commercial, long-established farmers or weekend and
Neufarmer would know that agricultural enterprises not yield the
highest profits and the non-farming, is a fast growing sector, said
Albe Snyman of Agra. "With the ever increasing costs like fuel,
electricity and basic foodstuffs, it is increasingly difficult to draw
a profit from the agricultural sector," said Snyman. Unfortunately,
prices would rise for the products of the farmers not to the extent
that the cost of calculating and therefore farmers need more than ever
closely and revise its methods for reducing costs. In a country where
agriculture plays such a vital role in Namibia, it was important to
preserve the good reputation for their excellent meat quality, to
enjoy the country through the marketing of its products from
free-living, hormone-and disease-free animals. According to
statistics, live in Namibia seven million head of livestock (cattle,
goats and sheep) in an area of 70 million hectares. 59 state and
private veterinarians were responsible for these animals. "This shows
how important and effective veterinary services and how important it
is that farmers are adequately equipped to ensure the health of their
animals," said Snyman.
Especially for the young and new farmers Agra've put together a
"first-aid kit for cattle," which contains the basic equipment and
important veterinary medicines that are needed on a farm. Each
participant in the talks, which are offered by Agra, can acquire such
a first-aid kit for animals, with N $ 500 of the original cost of N $
3000 from Bank Windhoek will be worn.
Furthermore, Agra is supported by the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF)
to inform their employees about the predator control and treat farming
in harmony with nature, and the company Feedmaster, its employees and
Zufutter on nutrients for livestock.
The participants of yesterday's presentation was led by Clara
Bohitile, Neufarmer of 2006, by the all-day program. The former deputy
minister presented not only the various guest speakers, but shared
their experiences with those present.
