Home First Aid Guide

Provides standardized handling procedures for sudden household emergencies, covering immediate responses and follow-up care for burns, cuts, and choking.

When family members encounter sudden emergencies, first maintain calmness and quickly assess scene safety. For minor burns, immediately rinse the wound with cool running water for 15 to 20 minutes to reduce pain and heat, then cover with sterile gauze, avoiding folk remedies like toothpaste or soy sauce to prevent infection. For small cuts, clean the area around the wound with water, apply slight pressure to stop bleeding, disinfect with iodine, and apply a bandage. If choking causes breathing difficulties, immediately perform the Heimlich maneuver by standing behind the patient, placing a fist above the navel, and thrusting upward and inward until the object is expelled. For severe bleeding, deep burns, or loss of consciousness, seek professional medical help immediately after initial treatment, and continuously monitor vital signs until help arrives.
