Medical Emergencies

In an emergency, call 911 first (or your local emergency number). If someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally, start CPR and send for an AED. Do not delay a call to read a guide.

Heart attack, stroke (FAST), seizures, fainting, low blood sugar, anaphylaxis, asthma attacks, shock, poisoning and the meningitis warning signs — recognising the emergency and doing the right things first.

15 guides in this section. Select one for numbered first-aid steps, what not to do, and when to get medical care. Every guide prints as a clean one-topic sheet.
