Example of Burns and ScaLds

Bleeding:

Heavy bleeding, treated by applying pressure (manually and later with a pressure bandage) to

the wound site and elevating the limb if possible. Apply DIRECT PRESSURE on the wound. use a

dressing, if available. if a dressing is not available, use a rag, towel, piece of clothing or your hand alone.

Pressure should be used in applying the bandage. After the bandage is in place, it is important to check the pulse to make sure circulation is not interrupted.

Example Of Bleeding:

Shock(electrical shock):

The victim usually gets stuck to the source of the electricity, and it is important that you first separate him from the electrical source. 

Turn off the power supply switch and disconnect the plug. It's best to simply turn off the main power supply or pull out the fuse. Often, simply turning off the switch may not stop the flow of electricity.

Do NOT touch the victim with your bare hands, or the electric current will pass through you as well.
