What Are The ABCs of First Aid?

First aid is the emergency care given to an injured or sick person. In an emergency situation, a bystander knowing first aid could save someone’s life.

First aid does not necessarily require extensive medical training, and you can learn some simple techniques from books, websites, or classes.

The “ABCs” of first aid is a helpful way to easily understand and remember how to approach an emergency situation and what to check for.

A – Awake

Is the person conscious and alert?

Are they responsive to you? Can they answer questions such as what their name is, where they are, and what the current date is? Is something blocking their airway, preventing them from breathing or talking?

If the person is not waking up or responding to you, call 911 immediately.

If they are alert and talking, ask them questions about who they are, what their situation is, signs and symptoms, allergies, current medications, previous medical conditions, and emergency contacts who should be called.

B – Breathing

Is the person breathing?

Do they have an obstructed airway preventing them from breathing?

Are they gasping for air or struggling to breathe?

If their airway is blocked, you may need to perform the Heimlich maneuver.

If the person is not breathing, begin CPR. Direct someone to call 911 if it hasn’t been done already.

C – Circulation and Compressions

Do they have a pulse?

Is their skin pale, blue, or gray?

If the person has no pulse and is not breathing, you must begin chest compressions.

In cases where CPR is needed, the American Heart Association stresses that chest compressions should be the first step before checking the Airway and Breathing—recommending the acronym CAB instead of ABC.

If the person is bleeding, apply pressure to the wound with a clean cloth.

Variations on the ABC Guidelines

There are multiple variations of the “ABCs” of first aid, but they all essentially represent the same basic concepts.

Some places advocate for the acronym DRSABCD (like “Doctor’s ABCD”) for:

· Danger: Check the scene and the person for any possible dangers to you or them.

· Response: See if they are awake, can move or react, and if they can answer questions.

· Send for help: Call 911 or your local emergency services.

· Airway: Make sure their airway is open and clear.

· Breathing: Check if they are breathing or to what degree they are struggling to breathe.

· Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR): If you know how to do so properly, perform CPR.

· Defibrillation: If you have a portable defibrillator, follow the instructions and use it on the person.

Most importantly, in any emergency situation, try to stay calm and approach the problem with care. Assess the situation as best you can and call for help. Follow the instructions of the dispatcher or emergency personnel.

If you really want to be as helpful as possible in emergencies—and you should—it’s a good idea to take a first aid and CPR class. Many community centers, hospitals, and workplaces offer these courses.

Hopefully, you will never need to use first aid, but being prepared can make all the difference in an emergency.

Whether the cause is rooted in war, cyber-crimes, natural disasters, or a decrease in production, there is a possibility that a gas shortage may affect our lives in the near future.

Along with this potential problem, the high price at the pump is on everyone's minds these days. So, what can we do to ease this burden and prepare for a shortage?

Here are 11 steps you can take to reduce your consumption of gasoline and prepare for a time when filling up your tank may be difficult...

23 Things Everyone Should Start Hoarding

What are some items that you think you should start hoarding for a major, cataclysmic disaster? Water? Absolutely. Food? Also absolutely. Ammo? For sure. First aid equipment? Definitely. Gasoline? Yep.

The list goes on. All of those things are incredibly valuable items to hoard for survival, and you can probably think of about ten or twenty other types of survival supplies as well.

That being said, there are countless ordinary items--things people use every day--that are relatively cheap and can be used for survival. The wisest among us are already stockpiling them...

And you shouldn't wait to prepare either. In some cases there is little to no warning.

Prepare now to lessen the impact of disasters and emergencies

Remember: You can’t buy life insurance after you’re dead!

When you think about packing up items to help you survive a natural or human-made disaster, you often think of backpacks. And there is good reason.

Backpacks are sturdy, lightweight, and with multiple pouches and pockets, they allow you to stow a large number of essentials. They come in expandable widths and sizes to fit even your smallest family members. And the best part is that your hands remain free with a backpack.

NEW WORLD DISORDER

The New World Order is impossible without crisis after crisis causing people to accept whatever outrageous plan the so-called "elites" have in store for us.

Now that the food shortages which preppers and farmers have been warning about are coming to fruition, the establishment and their media acolytes are presenting their solutions front and center in a bid to convince people to place trust in their centralized and very scientific vision for the future of food security.

It’s true of all propaganda that it works best when there is at least a small basis in fact.

Until now, very few people have been convinced that the world needed a fundamental food transformation, but calamity after calamity has softened up much of the populace to be receptive to formerly unthinkable solutions.

If trust cannot be gained through propaganda, a series of environmental/financial “incentives” will fit nicely into the unfolding destruction of the food supply to ensure increased desperation and dependence through destitution.

If those incentives fail, open tyranny ensues with hard shutdowns.

The truth is that the food of today has been developing an increasing number of nutritional deficiencies over the past many decades.

Soil depletion has in many areas reduced the value of even organically grown produce.

Meat, chicken and fish can be genetically modified, loaded with hormones and subjected to all of the horrors of industrial farming that is torturous for animals and potentially deadly for humans as well.

Regardless, it is food shortages that we are currently being bludgeoned with, whether as an outcropping of foreign policy decisions, supply-chain failures, the overarching climate change agenda, or food inflation which renders all food – let alone nutritious food – out of reach for a large swath of the global population.

Couple this with infant formula shortages even in the First World, and the long-standing Reset the Table agenda stands ready to capitalize on all of it."

Nicholas's report reveals just how insane the Reset the Table agenda actually is, with example after example of major media calling for people to eat the bugs and love it.

But eating bugs is the tamest "solution" to world problems on his list. You'll just have to see to believe the disgusting projects to save the world being rolled out around the globe.

At the end of 2021, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) compiled data from several food waste studies to analyze the environmental impact of food waste. While I believe we should be taking steps to protect the environment better, this is one of those times that helping to protect the environment can also help protect our budgets — namely the food budget.

The study analyzed food waste data at every step of our food supply chain, from farm to table. Yes, food is being wasted at every stage, but we're throwing away a lot of food at home, which means throwing away a lot of money.

If you want immediate savings on your food bills, take steps to eliminate food waste. A pre-pandemic study on food waste by an assistant professor at William & Mary College found that in 2020, the average American consumer threw out about $1,300 in the food they bought. At the time of the study, that $1,300 wasted could have almost covered the yearly gasoline or electricity costs for many families.

According to the EPA report, two of the most significant areas of wasted food by consumers are produce and dairy, which isn't surprising since fresh produce and dairy does not have a long shelf life. However, two documented food studies analyzed by the EPA revealed that a significant percentage of food waste also comes from throwing out prepared foods and leftovers.

What categories do you tend to see the most food waste in your home?

Over the next few weeks, pay close attention to the food your family throws out so you can best determine how to prevent your food waste and save more food dollars. Here are some articles that can help.
