PROTECTING YOURSELF AND
THE CASUALTY
To avoid cross infection when giving first aid, if possible you
should:
 |
avoid direct contact with body
fluids |
|
wear gloves |
|
wash your hands, but if gloves aren`t available
life saving first aid must still be given. |
Artificial ventilation carries little or no risk of infection.
If you have been trained to use a resuscitation face shield, carry
one at all times, but if you don`t have one with you never hesitate
to give mouth to mouth ventilation. |
