First Aid Tips

There are many types of emergencies. Whether they are minor injuries or something more serious, the Carteret First Aid Squad is on call to assist you. When someone becomes ill or injured, there is a short period of time before you can get professional medical assistance. It is that length of time that is most critical to the victim. What you do, or don't do during that period of time can make the difference between life and death. By having some first aid training and knowing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) you can have a major impact to the successful outcome of a medical emergency. Below are some helpful tips for the different types of medical emergencies you may come across. Keep in mind that if any of the emergencies listed below occur, always call 911. These tips are not to discourage anyone from seeking professional medical assistance.
