how will you give fisrt aid in case of a snake bite and burns

Hello student ,

Here i will suggest you to prefer to the doctor if you it is serious condition but before that you should suggest the victim . Ask the victim not to move the effected part, always place effected part below the heart level. Do not suck the venom or cut the wound because cutting the wound would not help . Apply pressure bandage over the affected limb for immobilisation and to reduce circulation of the venom . Further for burns in small area you may use a thin layer of ointment, such as petroleum jelly or aloe vera on the burn.The ointment does not need to have antibiotics in it. Some antibiotic ointments can cause an allergic reaction. Further don't do anything before the consultation of any doctor .

Hope it helps !

1. Do not move and stay calm as it  slows the spread of venom.
2. Do not suck the venom or cut the wound.
3. Apply pressure bandage over the affected limb for immobilisation and to reduce circulation of the venom.
4. Clean the wound with soap and water. Cover it with a clean, dry dressing.
5. Visit the doctor for further treatment.

1. Cool down the burn
2. Cover the burn with sterile clean bandage or cloth
3. Apply a lotion to provide relief and to keep the area from drying out.

hello aspirant ,

If you suspect a snake bite:

• Immediately move away from the area where the bite occurred. If the snake is still attached use a stick or tool to make it let go. Sea snake victims need to be moved to dry land to avoid drowning.
• Remove anything tight from around the bitten part of the body (e.g.: rings, anklets, bracelets) as these can cause harm if swelling occurs.
• Reassure the victim. Many snake bites are caused by non-venomous snakes. And even after most venomous snake bites the risk of death is not immediate.
• Immobilize the person completely. Splint the limb to keep it still. Use a makeshift stretcher to carry the person to a place where transport is available to take them to a health facility.
• Never use a tight arterial tourniquet.
• The Australian Pressure Immobilization Bandage (PIB) Method is only recommended for bites by neurotoxic snakes that do not cause local swelling.
• Applying pressure at the bite site with a pressure pad may be suitable in some cases.
• Avoid traditional first aid methods, herbal medicines and other unproven or unsafe forms of first aid.
• Transport the person to a health facility as soon as possible
• Paracetamol may be given for local pain (which can be severe).
• Vomiting may occur, so place the person on their left side in the recovery position.
• Closely monitor airway and breathing and be ready to resuscitate if necessary.

for burns ...

Is it a major or minor burn?

Call 911 or seek immediate care for major burns, which:

• Are deep
• Cause the skin to be dry and leathery
• May appear charred or have patches of white, brown or black
• Are larger than 3 inches (about 8 centimeters) in diameter or cover the hands, feet, face, groin, buttocks or a major joint

A minor burn that doesn't require emergency care may involve:

• Superficial redness similar to a sunburn
• Pain
• Blisters
• An area no larger than 3 inches (about 8 centimeters) in diameter

Treating major burns

Until emergency help arrives:

• Protect the burned person from further harm. If you can do so safely, make sure the person you're helping is not in contact with the source of the burn. For electrical burns, make sure the power source is off before you approach the burned person.
• Make certain that the person burned is breathing. If needed, begin rescue breathing if you know how.
• Remove jewelry, belts and other restrictive items, especially from around burned areas and the neck. Burned areas swell rapidly.
• Cover the area of the burn. Use a cool, moist bandage or a clean cloth.
• Don't immerse large severe burns in water. Doing so could cause a serious loss of body heat (hypothermia).
• Elevate the burned area. Raise the wound above heart level, if possible.
• Watch for signs of shock. Signs and symptoms include fainting, pale complexion or breathing in a notably shallow fashion.

Treating minor burns

For minor burns:

• Cool the burn. Hold the burned area under cool (not cold) running water or apply a cool, wet compress until the pain eases.
• Remove rings or other tight items from the burned area. Try to do this quickly and gently, before the area swells.
• Don't break blisters. Fluid-filled blisters protect against infection. If a blister breaks, clean the area with water (mild soap is optional). Apply an antibiotic ointment. But if a rash appears, stop using the ointment.
• Apply lotion. Once a burn is completely cooled, apply a lotion, such as one that contains aloe vera or a moisturizer. This helps prevent drying and provides relief.
• Bandage the burn. Cover the burn with a sterile gauze bandage (not fluffy cotton). Wrap it loosely to avoid putting pressure on burned skin. Bandaging keeps air off the area, reduces pain and protects blistered skin.
• If needed, take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others), naproxen sodium (Aleve) or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others).

thnk you ...

Hi student,

In case of a snake bite, keep the bited/effected part at a lower level then heart and do something to block the blood flow from the bited body part to heart. You can use a bandage or a tight cloth or anything you have that you feel that is good for this activity.

In case of burns, wash the burnt part with cold water and try to keep the body of the person warm. So not use ice or cold refrigated water, always use running tap water.

Feel free to ask doubts in the Comment Section.

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!
