My name is Emily Mottershead, I am a secondary school trained teacher and have over 20 years experience in the first aid industry. I left teaching secondary school children to pursue my love of educating as many people as possible with important life saving skills.
During my spare time I volunteer as a community first responder with the London Ambulance Service and deliver first aid courses in London and Kent. However in order to reach a bigger audience I have developed online courses and this you tube channel.
I am very passionate about teaching everyone the skills needed to save someones life. First aid is essential in emergency cases. Knowing what action needs to be taken to control an emergency can make the difference between life and death.
I once had a half a tooth pick up the bottom of my foot once, but I had Guinea pigs so there was always hay on the ground, and I just thought it was a piece of hay. When I went to brush it off my foot after taking a couple steps and realizing it was still there, I felt it and looked down and nearly passed out
We have many different types of snakes in the United States. They include rattlesnakes, coral snakes, copperheads, pit vipers, cottonmouth, and the eastern and western back diamond snake along with garter snakes and many other snakes.
And all different treatments depending on which one bit you. Key information - try and identify what it was (easier said then done I know) and seek ems help
I would love a Video or RU-vid Short, getting additional Information and Attention on First Responder Apps active in the UK. Like the GoodSAM App, explaining the importance of registering in these Apps as well as registering your local AEDs, as many people don't know about the importance or the placement of public Defibrillators in their communites. Where are the existing ones and do they even still work? Are they registered in the local First Responder Systems? Keep up the good videos.👍🏻
Just subscribed to the Channel, just to say thank you Émilie for the nice first aid course you provided us with today in Forest Hill. Keep up the good job
i had one. mine was a thorn under my skin as it healed over, basically use tweezers to remove skin around it then you can suck it out with the syringe x
Evidence doesn’t support this. The bhf state”One frequently asked question amongst BLS Instructors and first aid trainers is ‘do we need to teach rescue breaths?’ Around 85 percent of cardiac arrests have a presumed cardiac cause, that is, there was a problem with the heart itself that caused it to stop beating. In these people, the blood is theoretically full of oxygen when the heart stops, just pumping that oxygen to the brain will benefit the patient. There are several studies that have compared chest compression only resuscitation with full CPR (giving both compressions and rescue breaths) and we will now explore this in more depth. The problem of course is that without giving rescue breaths we are not actively ventilating the lungs. A common misconception is that giving chest compressions draws air into the lungs as you compress and release the chest. Charles Deakin and colleagues measured the volume of air movement when giving chest compressions. They found that the tidal air movement generated by chest compressions was less than the volume of air that fills the upper airways. Put simply, chest compressions alone do not bring air into the lungs. In rural areas where there may be significant delays in arrival of the emergency medical services, full CPR should always be taught as the preferred option. What this tells us is that we have a limited time in which chest compressions only CPR will be beneficial - but we do know that giving chest compressions only is far better than not giving CPR at all. The EuReCa TWO study highlighted how survival rates are improved when CPR is performed. In the study, those who did not receive bystander CPR only had a 4.3 percent survival rate. Those who received chest compression only CPR had a 7.7 percent survival rate, however, those who received full CPR (including rescue breaths) had a 13.6 percent survival rate. So just giving chest compressions nearly doubles the chance of survival, but giving full CPR more than triples it! It’s worth noting that not everyone who has had a cardiac arrest has a blood stream full of oxygen. There are certain circumstances when ventilation becomes more important, for example, victims of drowning, or cardiac arrests in children which are likely to be caused by a lack of oxygen. This evidence underpins the resuscitation guidelines that state ‘if you are trained to do so, after 30 compressions, give 2 rescue breaths’. If someone is NOT trained how to give rescue breaths, attempting to do so is likely to cause significant interruptions in chest compressions - which we know lowers survival rates. For this group - giving compressions only is acceptable, as it is far better than doing nothing. However, if someone is trained to give rescue breaths, we know that this will result in even higher survival rates.
Yesterday me and my family went to a place and me my sister started eating pizza and then my sister made me laugh and then I started chocking and then I said in a high pitch I'm chocking and then my sister saved me
