I would have thought a symtom of a heart attack would have been pain in the chest rather than puffy eyes.

In question one, the first thing I would do to some-one I suspect of choking would be to ask them if they were, just to clarify the situation before slapping them hard between the shoulder blades. They may be a stranger and could take offence with me if I did not check first.

The importance of first aid cannot be overemphasized.The very act of saving a life, preserves the family, ensures the peaceful existence of a community and ultimately , a Nation. Hence Mothers, Fathers must be taught basic skills. How? I advocate that it should be a integral part of training for every cadre of the work force. Children should be taught simple steps, using simple terms and illustrations. PLEASE, We should not leave that for School Teachers. As a Parent , You owe it to your Child!

First Aid can save lifes and unfortuantely people only relaise the importance when an emergency happens. Therefore, this should be taught in all schools as part of life skills. Children are taught so much and yet we miss the most vital lessons.

Q3 – B

First Aid is an essential life skill – it never fails to amaze me how few people know even the basics.
Forget “citizenship” in schools, a new module called “life skills” should be made compulsory along with reading & writing – covering First Aid, basic home maintenance like how to change a lightbulb (yes we have many 22 yr olds at university who have no clue!), how to sew on a button, how to cook simple nutritious meals, basic budgetting/money skills, etiquette (business & social) & other things appropriate to the age group.

First aid is so important to know and it boost your confidence and knowledge each time you apply first aid to someone.

I think it should be taught in schools so it becomes second nature to help someone in trouble and it would help people be more confident in the use of first aid.

This also helps the emergency service before they arrive on the scene to have information from the first aider.

I probably saved a life of my friend who choked having a laugh during the dinner. Instead of of back blows I used abdominal thrust – worked perfectly! I wasn’t first aider then but if situation repeated I probably would be tempted to use it again… I do belive it is gentler and safer option than blows when executed properly… Aren’t blows dangerous for somebody suffering bad back/disc problems/osteoporosis etc? I wonder if there is any published scientific data or comparison of efficiency and safety of those two methods…

As an active first aider at work, and trained first responder, I have learnt a lot of useful skills that when the occassion arises, I can help someone in difficulty. Many people lack the most basic skills for dealing with a situation, even common sense does not move them in to action. Have seen some excellant short scenarios played during the adverts, and between programmes on Television, I think this is the best way of educating the public, even if the are not interested, some information will be retained by repeat display, and may be retained for future action.

There are a number of interesting comments here, and I was going to add my voice to the call to ensure that first aid training is given to all children as part of the National Curriculum – if there is such a thing nowadays with all the education reforms. However, we should go further, in that I believe we should fall into line with other European countries who require all motorists to carry first aid kits, thus promoting first aid in the wider community. Even one life saved in this way would be worth the effort.
