Here we are with the common mistakes that we make during the first-aid. I hope you will cure them with time.
You should put oil on the affected area.
Our grandparents perform such acts, and thus they have taught us. But the doctors have disapproved for the myth for a long time. The oil will never let us heal the burnt area. If you speed up the process of healing, then you must put the spot in the cold water for around fifteen to twenty minutes. Later let the wound to get dry. You may even put on the particular medicine in the area, then wait for the next upcoming day.
You must make a tourniquet, and it must not matter how it happened.
Also, people can die due to bad tourniquets than those losing blood. One of the common mistakes we make during the first-aid is that we will put a tourniquet right on the surface of the skin. You should never perform such activity as it would damage the skin very badly. The next mistake can be to put on the tourniquet for an extended period. You must put it at least once in an hour. For every twenty minutes, you should loosen the tourniquet which would let the flow of blood to the limb. If you will not do the same, then your limb would have to be amputated.
To move the person from the road if he got injured in the car accident.
A person who got an injury would have some problem in his spinal cord. Thus you must not perform the activity. Thus the movement would further lead to some disability and can cause death. If such a situation occurs near you, then you must call an ambulance and then put something around the customer in a way that the drivers moving around your ambulance would notice the situation and let you go.
To put on the splint, you need to straighten the limb and then tie it to the stick.
You must not try to straighten the broken limbs ever. You should only need to immobilize the joints and try to put the splint in a way that it will not affect to straighten the limbs. The injured person must not have to do that.
Medication is the first aid that would make things right for you.
If a person feels unconscious in many cases, then you must not give any medication. Also, it is something that the person would like to take. Each person in the world in unique and thus many others would feel allergic to these pills. Hence you must wait for the arrival of medic such that he will cure your problem without using the tablets.
Alcohol is best to heal anesthesia
Well, to use alcohol as anesthesia is a useful myth prevailing these days. Juice only helps us to intensify the bleeding and thus to make our blood liquid. Many surgeons gave the drink to their patients in the 18th and the 19th century, and hence it was the reason for the death of many people. Besides the hard liquor cause, intoxication of the weekends and thus there was a decrease in the effect of the medical anesthesia.
If someone loses his consciousness and you want them to make a comeback in their senses as soon as possible.
The act turns out to be utterly wrong in all the ways because fainting is one of the critical activity which states we need some rest. It will hardly last for the next one to two minutes. But if you will slap someone or pour the water on face, then it would turn the situation even worse than this which would set a person to be in the coma. If a person feels faint, then you must prop the legs and then wait for the next five minutes. And if the person is not in his sense, then you would call an ambulance. It could roll the person on the sides such that it will not swallow their tongue.
