Hypothermia How To
Symptoms:
Excessive shivering, impaired judgement, lack of coordination, slurred speech, weak pulse, drowsiness, and shallow breathing.
Oh yeah, the person will probably be cold.
The first rule with most serious First Aid cases? Call 911 if you suspect Hypothermia! If you can't call 911, remember to get the person indoors as soon as possible. Afterwards, restore warmth Slowly, starting with the trunk first, and then outer extremities. Remove wet clothing. Hypothermia does not only happen to people in snow-it can happen in rainy, cold, or other various conditions.

Dehydration How To
Symptoms:
Increased thirst, Dry/Sticky Mouth, lethargy, impaired judgement, swollen tongue, low urine output-don't laugh!
What's that golden rule again?
Call 911 if you suspect a person has severe dehydration! Your brain needs water! Afterwards, keep the victim still for as longs as possible. Lying down in the shade is an excellent idea. If possible, apply cool wet clothes to critical areas of the victims body, such as the wrist, neck, collarbone, and inner thighs. Then, give water or juice in small amounts until the victim feels rejuvenated. An excess of liquid may cause the victim to vomit. If severe dehydration continues, rush the subject to a medical center as quickly as possible.
