Sir Cameron Moffat Libros

This first-aid book has been authorized by St John's Ambulance, the St Andrew's Ambulance Association and the British Red Cross and offers an up-to-date guide to treating casualties of all ages in any emergency. The chapters have been reorganized by injury type and severity and are colour-coded for swift and easy access to information. The contents give due emphasis to really serious problems such as head injury, without neglecting common, but still worrying ailments like nosebleed or prickly heat. The two new sections include a 16-page quick-reference chapter which spells out emergency life-saving procedures and there is advice for first-aiders which gives real facts about the risks of cross-infection. The book complies with the latest 1992 guidelines laid down by the European Resuscitation Council.

This is a first aid handbook for parents and those with young children in their care. It is designed to give instant access to clear advice in the event of any childhood accident, sudden illness or medical emergency. Step-by step photographic treatment sequences are provided.

Covering first aid treatment for everything from minor cuts and grazes to resuscitation, this book shows you through a series of photographs what to do in an emergency. Key pieces of information are indicated on the photographs and supplemenary advice which can be found alongside in the step-by-step text. The injuries are organised by type, in sections such as wounds and bleeding and bites and stings. However in an emergency, the thumbnail index on the back cover will direct you straight to the relevant page. There are also sections such as action in an emergency and bandages and dressings, that contain information for general reference.
