Would You Know What To Do In A Medical Emergency?

[ladybirder]

Could you save someone's life perhaps? Try this little 5-question quiz from St John's Ambulance and see how you get on. I know absolutely nothing about first aid and yet got 4 out of 5 right. Came unstuck on 5th but am still amazed I did so well. Not a chance against all the medical folks on here of course.

Have a go and see how you do:-) Oh and you can order a First Aid brochure for FREE as well.

On a Sunday boxy? Wow! Mine hasn't come yet. Was it by a courier?

I got 5/5 but I was a first aider when I worked. I am now retired.
I am going on a 1 day course to brush up soon as my certificate has expired.

Just to be clear, children and babies still require the initial 5 rescue breathes followed by 30 compressions and 2 breathes thereafter. They need it as their lungs are smaller and can't contain as much oxygen as an adult's lungs.

Me neither boxy, been like it all weekend:-)
