  1. What is anaphylaxis and what is the treatment?

    Answer: A severe life-threatening allergic reaction; treated with adrenaline auto-injector (EpiPen) and 999

    Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially fatal allergic reaction causing airway swelling, breathing difficulty and circulatory collapse; emergency adrenaline (EpiPen) and immediate 999 call are essential.

  2. A customer is bleeding heavily from a wound. What is the correct first aid response?

    Answer: Apply direct firm pressure to the wound using a clean cloth and call 999

    Direct firm pressure is the first-line treatment for heavy bleeding; embedded objects should not be removed as they may be stemming blood flow; if bleeding is life-threatening, 999 must be called.

  3. What are the signs of a stroke and what does FAST stand for?

    Answer: Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call 999

    FAST (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) is the stroke recognition tool; facial drooping, arm weakness or speech difficulties are signs of stroke requiring an immediate 999 call.

  4. What is the 'Heimlich manoeuvre' used for?

    Answer: Relieving a severe choking episode in a conscious adult

    The Heimlich manoeuvre (abdominal thrusts) is used to dislodge a foreign body blocking the airway in a conscious adult who is choking and cannot cough it out themselves.

  5. A person is having an epileptic seizure. What should a door supervisor do?

    Answer: Protect the person from injury, time the seizure, do not restrain and call 999 if the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes

    During a seizure, clear the area of hazards, cushion the head, do not restrain and time the episode; call 999 if it lasts more than 5 minutes, the person is injured or does not regain consciousness.

  6. What does 'SAMPLE' stand for in first aid casualty assessment?

    Answer: Signs and symptoms, Allergies, Medications, Past history, Last oral intake, Events leading up

    SAMPLE is a history-taking tool: Signs/Symptoms, Allergies, Medications, Past medical history, Last oral intake and Events leading to the situation — helping paramedics when they arrive.
