First aid is immediate assistance given to someone who is injured or suddenly affected by an illness. It includes caring for life-threatening conditions and preventing further harm until professional medical help arrives. A first aid box contains supplies to treat common injuries and illnesses like bleeding, fractures, burns, and choking. It should include protective equipment like gloves, masks, and bandages as well as medications for pain, infection, and symptoms. Providing first aid safely requires taking precautions like wearing gloves and masks to avoid contact with blood or fluids and properly disposing of medical waste.
First aid involves providing initial care to an injured or ill person until further medical help can be accessed. It generally consists of simple techniques that can be performed with minimal equipment to preserve life, prevent further harm, and promote recovery. A first aid kit contains supplies needed to treat common injuries and ailments, and should be stored in easily accessible locations. Proper first aid training focuses on assessment and treatment of airway, breathing, circulation emergencies as well as supplies for wound care, pain relief, and other symptomatic treatments.

safety and biosecurity (lab3).Personal protective equipment (PPE)Raghda alomari
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is designed to protect healthcare workers from illness or injury from workplace hazards and prevent the spread of pathogens. Common types of PPE used in healthcare settings include gloves, masks, gowns, eye protection, and respirators. PPE should be worn when exposed to blood, body fluids, secretions or contaminated materials, and removed properly after use to avoid spreading contamination. Healthcare workers must be trained on appropriate PPE use, including proper donning and doffing techniques, to safely protect themselves and prevent the spread of infection.
This document discusses appropriate use of personal protective equipment (PPE) by healthcare workers. It describes different types of PPE including gloves, gowns, masks, goggles, and shoe/head covers. The key points are: PPE should be chosen based on the risk of exposure to infectious materials; sterile PPE is needed for surgical procedures while other PPE provides barrier or fluid protection; PPE must be properly donned and removed to be effective, with hand hygiene performed before and after; when used correctly, PPE prevents exposure of healthcare workers to infectious pathogens.
This document provides guidance on the appropriate use of personal protective equipment (PPE) by healthcare workers. It defines what PPE is and discusses various types of PPE like gloves, gowns, masks, goggles, and shoe/head covers.

The goal is to educate healthcare workers on selecting and using proper PPE depending on the level of anticipated contact with patients' body fluids.
The document provides guidelines for universal and transmission-based precautions for healthcare workers. It discusses different types of precautions including airborne, droplet, and contact precautions. Airborne precautions require a private room with negative air pressure for patients with illnesses transmitted via airborne particles like tuberculosis. Droplet precautions require a private room or spatial separation of 3 feet for illnesses transmitted by droplets like influenza. Contact precautions require a private room and use of gloves and gowns for direct and indirect contact transmission of illnesses like MRSA. Handwashing and proper handling of equipment, linen and waste is also covered.
The document discusses Ebola virus disease outbreaks from 1976 to 1995, including location, years, mortality rates, and suspected causes. It then outlines prevention and control strategies like risk reduction, safe practices, surveillance, and isolation.

The principles of infection prevention and control are described for general patient care, direct patient care, environmental management, and non-patient activities. Standard and expanded precautions are defined. The use of personal protective equipment like gloves, gowns, masks, and goggles is explained for different situations. The proper procedures for donning and removing PPE are summarized.
Standard precautions are evidence-based practices designed to prevent transmission of infectious agents in healthcare settings. They are implemented to protect all patients and healthcare workers regardless of infection status. Standard precautions break the chain of infection through proper hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment, safe handling of sharps and linens, appropriate disposal of biowaste, routine cleaning and disinfection of equipment and the environment, and precautions during patient care and resuscitation.
First aid is immediate care for injured or ill persons until full medical treatment is available. It includes self-care and helping others.

This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.

2. What is First Aid ?
• First aid is the assistance given to any person suffering a
sudden illness or injury,[with care provided to preserve life, prevent
the condition from worsening, and/or promote recovery.
• It includes initial intervention in a serious condition prior to
professional medical help being available, such as
performing CPR while awaiting an ambulance, as well as the
complete treatment of minor conditions, such as applying a plaster
to a cut.
3. First Aid Need:-
• Preserve life: the overriding aim of all medical care which includes
first aid, is to save lives and minimize the threat of death.
• Prevent further harm: also sometimes called prevent the condition
from worsening, or danger of further injury, this covers both
external factors, such as moving a patient away from any cause of
harm, and applying first aid techniques to prevent worsening of the
condition, such as applying pressure to stop a bleed becoming
dangerous.
• Promote recovery: first aid also involves trying to start the recovery
process from the illness or injury, and in some cases might involve
completing a treatment, such as in the case of applying a plaster to a
small wound.
5. Conditions often Required First Aid
Bone fracture :- a break in a bone initially treated by stabilizing the fracture
with a splint.
Burns :-which can result in damage to tissues and loss of body fluids
through the burn site
Choking :- blockage of the airway which can quickly result in death due to
lack of oxygen if the patient’s trachea is not cleared, for example by
the Heimlich Maneuver.
Heart attack or inadequate blood flow to the blood vessels supplying
the heart muscle.
Wound and bleeding
Joint dislocation
Battlefield first aid —This protocol refers to treating shrapnel,
gunshot wounds, burns, bone fractures, etc. as seen either in the
‘traditional’ battlefield setting or in an area subject to damage by
large-scale weaponry, such as a bomb blast.
6. First Aid Box
A first aid box is a
collection of supplies
and equipment for
use in giving first aid.
7. Component of First Aid box
• Airway, Breathing and Circulation
• First aid treats the ABCs as the foundation of good treatment. For
this reason, most modern commercial first aid kits (although not
necessarily those assembled at home) will contain a suitable
infection barrier for performing artificial respiration as part of
cardiopulmonary resuscitation, examples include:
• Pocket mask
• Face shield
• Advanced first aid kits may also contain items such as:
• Oropharyngeal airway
• Nasopharyngeal airway
• Bag valve mask
• Manual aspirator or suction unit
• Sphygmomanometer (blood pressure cuff)
• Stethoscope
8. Trauma injuries:-
Trauma injuries, such as bleeding, bone fractures or burns, are usually the main focus of
most first aid kits, with items such as bandages and dressings being found in the vast
majority of all kits.
Adhesive bandages (band-aids, sticking plasters) - can include ones shaped for particular
body parts, such as knuckles
Moleskin— for blister treatment and prevention
Dressings
Sterile eye pads
Sterile gauze pads
Sterile non-adherent pads, containing a non-stick teflon layer
Bandages
Butterfly closure strips -.
Saline- used for cleaning wounds or washing out foreign bodies from eyes
soap - used with water to clean superficial wounds once bleeding is stopped
Antiseptic
Adhesive tape,
9. • Instruments and equipment
• Trauma shears for cutting clothing and general use
• Scissors are less useful but often included
• Tweezers, for removing splinters amongst others.
• Lighter for sanitizing tweezers or pliers etc.
• Irrigation syringe - with catheter tip for cleaning wounds with sterile
water, saline solution, or a weak iodine solution. The stream of liquid
flushes out particles of dirt and debris.
• Instant-acting chemical cold packs
• Alcohol rub (hand sanitizer) or antiseptic hand wipes
• Thermometer
• Cotton swab
• Cotton wool, for applying antiseptic lotions.
• Safety pins, for pinning bandages.
10. Medication
Pain killers
• Paracetamol (also known as Acetaminophen) is one of the most
common pain killing medication, as either tablet or syrup
• Anti-inflammatory painkillers such as Ibuprofen, Naproxen or
other NSAIDs can be used as part of treating sprains and strains
• Codeine which is both a painkiller and anti-diarrheal
Symptomatic relief
• Anti diarrhoea medication such as Loperamide - especially important in
remote or third world locations where dehydration caused by diarrhea
is a leading killer of children
• Oral rehydration salts
• Antihistamine, such as diphenhydramine
• Poison treatments
• Absorption, such as activated charcoal
• Emetics to induce vomiting, such as syrup of ipecac although first aid
manuals now advise against inducing vomiting.
• Smelling Salts (ammonium carbonate)
11. • Topical medications
• Antiseptics / Disinfectants
• Antiseptic fluid,
• Povidone iodine is an antiseptic in the form of liquid, swabstick, or
towelette. Can be used in a weak dilution of clean water to prepare an
irrigation solution for cleaning a wound.
• Hydrogen peroxide is often included in home first aid kits, but is a poor choice
for disinfecting wounds- it kills cells and delays healing.
• Medicated antiseptic ointments-Ointments typically contain one, two, or
all three of the following antibacterial ingredients(those containing all 3
are typically called 'triple-antibiotic ointment') Neomycin, Polymyxin
B Sulphate or Bacitracin Zinc.
12. Personal protective equipment
• The use of personal protective equipment or PPE will vary by
kit, depending on its use and anticipated risk of infection. The
adjuncts to artificial respiration are covered above, but other
common infection control PPE includes:
• Gloves which are single use and disposable to prevent cross
infection
• Goggles or other eye protection
• Surgical mask or N95 mask to reduce possibility of airborne
infection transmission (sometimes placed on patient instead
of caregivers. For this purpose the mask should not have an
exhale valve)
• Apron
14. Gloves:-
• Medical gloves are disposable gloves used during medical
examinations and procedures that help prevent cross-contamination
between caregivers and patients.
• Medical gloves are made of different polymers including latex, nitrile
rubber, vinyl and neoprene; they come unpowdered, or powdered
with cornstarch to lubricate the gloves, making them easier to put
on the hands
15. Mask:-
• Mask help first aider to be not directly contact with patient, if
first aider will directly contact with him like breathing or etc. It
may harm first aider.
16. Precautionsfor AdministeringFirst Aid
• When administering first aid, the following standards of practice
should be followed:
• Wash hands with antiseptic towelettes if there is any possibility of
contact with blood, body fluids or human tissues from an injured
worker. Wash hands with soap and water as soon as possible.
• Wear gloves when anticipating contact with blood, body fluids,
tissues, mucous membranes or contaminated surfaces, or if breaks
in the skin are present.
• Wear an impervious gown or apron if splattering of clothes is likely.
• Wear a mask if there is to be contact with an infectious disease
spread by splatter droplets.
17. Wear appropriate protective equipment at all times including a mask and eye
protection if aerosolization or splattering is likely to occur when attending to an
injured person.
Make mouthpieces, resuscitation bags and other resuscitation devices readily
available for use in areas where the need for resuscitation is likely and carry
appropriate devices in emergency response kits.
Handle sharp objects carefully.
- Do not cut, bend, break or reinsert used needles into original sheath by hand.
- Discard sharp objects intact, immediately after use into an impervious sharps
disposal box which should be carried whenever needles are in the emergency
response kit.
- Report immediately all needle stick accidents, mucosal splashes or
contamination of open wounds with blood or body fluids.
Dispose of all spills which contain or may contain biological contaminants in
accordance with policies for hazardous waste disposal. Until clean up is
complete, the accident area should be roped off to other workers.
Post Universal Precaution signs in all areas designated for first aid and on
emergency response boxes and first aid kits.
