Explanation

You should remove a helmet from a motorcycle accident victim only after checking for spinal injuries.

This ensures that you do not exacerbate any potential spinal damage.

Explanation

If five back blows don't dislodge the object, call 999 or your local emergency number immediately.

The operator will guide you through the next steps, and paramedics will be dispatched to assist.

Continue to try to dislodge the object with alternating back blows and the Heimlich maneuver until help arrives.

Explanation

DRAB is a mnemonic used in medical first aid to remind responders of the initial steps to take when approaching a patient:

• D - Danger (ensure the scene is safe)
• R - Response (check for the patient's response or consciousness)
• A - Airway (check and secure the patient's airway)
• B - Breathing (check for breathing and start CPR if necessary)

Explanation

If a person is unconscious but breathing, the first step is to open their airway to ensure they can continue to breathe properly.

This is done by tilting their head back and lifting their chin, and then checking for a pulse to ensure their heart is still beating.

Explanation

Administer aspirin if available and they are not allergic, and call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.

If the person is unconscious, not breathing, or not responsive, begin CPR if you are trained to do so.

Explanation

If someone is choking, help them by giving five quick blows between the shoulder blades with the heel of your hand.

This can help dislodge the object blocking their airway.

If the person is still choking, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.

Explanation

 Elevate the wound above the heart and apply firm pressure with a clean compress

(such as a clean, heavy gauze pad, washcloth, T-shirt, or sock)

Explanation

The ABC of basic life support are:

• A - Airway: Ensure the person's airway is clear and open
• B - Breathing: Check for breathing and provide rescue breaths if necessary
• C - Circulation: Check for circulation and provide chest compressions if necessary

This sequence is used to help save a person's life in a medical emergency, such as cardiac arrest.

Explanation

If a victim is trapped in a vehicle, the first thing to do is call emergency services.

They have the tools and expertise to safely extricate the victim while minimizing the risk of further injury.
