About this PDF

Build on basic first-aid knowledge and learn how to approach household emergencies where the next decision is harder. This 35-page illustrated English guide covers heart attack, stroke, severe allergic reactions, asthma attacks, diabetic emergencies, broken bones and household splints, head, neck and back injuries, heat and cold emergencies, drowning, electric shock, carbon monoxide, severe wounds, fainting and falls. Twelve chapters are supported by an advanced first-aid glossary, a household drill log and a source list. The emphasis is on recognising danger, knowing when urgent professional help is needed and practising household preparedness. The book draws on published public guidance from organisations including the NHS, CDC, Mayo Clinic, St John Ambulance and the American Red Cross. Emergency-number examples include India and the United States; readers should learn the correct numbers for where they live. Best suited to readers who have completed Learning Home First Aid - Beginner Level and understand scene safety, CPR, choking, bleeding, burns and the recovery position. Advanced chapters refer back to those foundations rather than repeating them. Important: this is general safety education, not medical advice for an individual's situation. It does not award a qualification or first-aid certificate and is not a substitute for certified hands-on first-aid training.
