“…Recent studies in humans have demonstrated that both trained and lay individuals applied PBI that resulted in either ineffective or tissue pressures in the same range [12][13][14]. Finally, the porcine study of Crotalinae envenomation used in support of the AHA/ARC guidelines [2] actually drew the opposite conclusion, stating: "On the basis of our findings, we cannot recommend pressure immobilization widely for viper envenomation…" [11].…”

Cardiac life support is a form of fi rst aid for cardiac emergencies. However, research and evidence in this fi eld is lacking compared with other forms of fi rst aid. Having identifi ed the common emergencies that are encountered in the hospital, based on the available evidence, we have put together what could be an evidence-based approach to the fi rst aid management of some of these common emergencies, viz. breathlessness, chest pain, allergies, stroke, heat injury, poisoning, unconsciousness, seizures, and trauma situations such as bleeding, wounds, contusions, head injury, burns and fractures. Educating the public is the key to developing a fi rst responder bystander. These guidelines could become the basis for training of the public.

If a person is having airway issues in the position found, then it is reasonable to move the person as required to relieve airway compromise.…”
