First Aid For

If you had a spinal victim who is not breathing, do you care for their spine or administer EAR first? Please explain.

I'd treat their EAR first, if they aren't breathing then they're going to be dead in a few min anyways. So then who would care about the spine if the person is dead? no one.... I'm not a doctor so I could be wrong... I just tried to use logic.

Hi, for a job I want to apply for it requires one to have Emergency First Aid and CPR level "C".

However, the place I am getting my first aid from has the following seminars: "Emergency First Aid and Level A CPR", and "Standard First Aid and Level C CPR".

I was just wondering what is the difference between them, and which one is better to take in my case?
So do I have to get the seperate CPR Level "C"?

Emergency First Aid is life saving and Standard First Aid is non-life threatening (like splinting a fracture). You need Emergency First Aid and Level A CPR.

My daughter is 6 months and I want to start a first aid kit. What are some essential parts of a first aid kit besides band aids alcohol etc ?

benedryl for allergic reactions, baby tylenol or motrin, orajel, neosporin, different size band-aids, one of those cold-pack things....I'm sure you can check babies r us for a pre-packaged first aid kit and just purchase the same items from the drug store for 1/2 the price.

All I can find are first aid kits with band-aids... Any suggestions? (For example, won't I need a eye washout cup?)

There are many sets of standard first-aid equipment in baby stores. In general, you will need to have a thermometer, infant Tylenol and/or ibuprofen, an icepack (it's nice to leave one in the freezer and it's easier to use a gel pack than ice cubes), and then some of the typical things that you'd need for yourself (antibiotic ointment, band-aids). There is some controversy now about whether syrup of ipecac is as universally useful as people once thought, but it can't hurt to have around.

A few other random tips: You don't need cold medicine for infants (and probably not for young children, either). Infants shouldn't typically need hydrocortisone, either. You might not consider it first-aid exactly, but for any child over 6 months, having sunscreen is important, also. Babies are sent home from the hospital with a nasal aspirator. It is helpful to have baby nail clippers instead of full-size ones. You don't need an additional medicine dispenser, as almost all medicines come with a syringe or dropper already. Eye washes are so rarely needed that I don't think anyone considers them standard or necessary anymore.
