The goal is to teach community members how to provide immediate care to injured or ill individuals until more advanced medical help arrives.
This document provides guidelines for positioning and moving patients in emergency situations:
- Reposition patients only when necessary, placing unresponsive and non-trauma patients in the recovery position on their side. Do not move trauma patients unless treating a life-threatening condition.
- Carry patients using proper lifting techniques to prevent injury, checking for injuries first. Use emergency carries like the firefighter's carry or pack-strap carry only if the patient faces immediate danger and you cannot otherwise provide care.
- When moving a patient with help, use assisted walking, two-person seat carries, or extremity carries down steps, supporting the patient's weight appropriately. Control bleeding through direct pressure, elevation, pressure bandages,
Basic first aid techniques for moving injured persons include:
- Helping a conscious victim walk by letting them put their arms over the rescuer's shoulders.
- Carrying an unconscious person by cradling their head and pulling them away by their shoulders or clothing.
- Rolling an unconscious person onto a blanket or sleeping bag and pulling them to safety.
- With a helper, surrounding a conscious victim and helping them walk or improvising a stretcher to carry them.
This document provides information on general first aid. It defines first aid as immediate care given to an injured person until medical assistance arrives. The objectives of first aid are to alleviate suffering, prevent further injury, and prolong life. The document outlines guidelines for giving emergency care, including assessing the scene and victim for safety, requesting help, intervening with first aid as needed, and avoiding further harm. It describes priorities like opening the airway, restoring breathing and circulation.
First aid is assistance given for illness or injury to preserve life until professional help arrives. Throughout history, first aid skills have been important for treating trauma from warfare. CPR is a crucial part of first aid training, using chest compressions and rescue breaths to keep oxygen flowing until emergency help can take over. There are proper techniques for bandaging wounds to immobilize and protect injuries without worsening damage. Blood pressure is the pressure of circulating blood against blood vessel walls, traditionally measured non-invasively using a mercury manometer for accuracy.
This document provides instructions for different techniques for carrying victims during rescue operations. It describes crawling, the lover's carry, pack strap carry, firefighter's carry, two-person's carry, shoulder pull, blanket drag, two-handed seat, three-person carry, and chair carry techniques. Potential hazards during rescue are also listed, including fire, toxic gases, traffic, electrocution, and structural collapse. Details are given for how to properly perform each carry, emphasizing using safe body mechanics and distributing the victim's weight across rescuers.
1) Stay calm in an emergency situation as panic will only make things worse.
2) Remember the D.R.A.B.C. protocol: check for Danger, get a Response, send for help by shouting A for help, open the Airway, and check for Breathing.
3) If the person is unconscious, not breathing, and has no pulse, perform CPR by giving 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths, repeating until help arrives or signs of movement.
Emergency rescue and transfer involves safely moving victims from dangerous to safer locations. It follows basic principles like maintaining an open airway, controlling bleeding, and moving the victim as a single unit in the proper position. The method used depends on factors like the injury severity, rescuer capabilities, and available equipment. Common transfer methods include one-man, two-man, and multi-person carries using blankets, backboards, or stretchers. Rescuers should only move victims if their breathing, circulation, and state of consciousness are stable and use proper lifting techniques.
First aid is defined as any emergency care given to an injured or sick person prior to professional medical treatment. The purpose of first aid is to preserve life, stabilize the patient, prevent contamination, aid recovery, and safely transport the patient for further care. It is important for first aiders to understand they are not doctors and should only provide care to keep the patient alive until emergency help arrives. Proper first aid kits, universal precautions like gloves and masks, and understanding conditions like shock, bleeding, burns and more are essential for effectively responding to common injuries and emergencies until advanced medical care can take over.

I hope that the content of my ppt will be very good for all of you in which ppt subject is sterilization techniques in which we have described how to treat emergency patient with the help of first aid kit
This document provides information on conducting first aid assessments and care for infants and children. It discusses performing a scene survey to identify hazards, then a primary survey to check an individual's response, airway, breathing, and circulation. If breathing is impaired, CPR may be required. When calling for emergency help, key information should be provided including location, incident type, and number/condition of casualties. The document also defines infants as those under 1 year old and children as those from 1 year to puberty for first aid purposes.
The document provides information on first aid, including why it is important to learn, key principles, and responsibilities of a first aider. It discusses assessing vital signs such as responsiveness, pulse, breathing, and temperature. The three main goals of first aid are to preserve life, prevent further harm, and promote recovery for injured individuals until professional medical help arrives.
The document discusses the concepts and principles of first aid. It defines first aid as the immediate care given to prevent worsening of conditions until medical assistance is obtained. The principles of first aid include acting quickly but with a stable mind, understanding the cause of injury, and preventing worsening of the situation. It also outlines the components of an emergency medical services system and the contents of a basic first aid kit.
This document provides an introduction to first aid and accident prevention. It defines first aid as immediate care given to an injured or ill person until they can receive professional medical treatment. The values of first aid training are discussed, including helping others during disasters. General directions for providing first aid include assessing the situation, identifying the problem, giving treatment, and arranging transportation to further care. Respiratory emergencies and artificial respiration are also introduced, along with identifying causes of respiratory failure.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
