๐Ÿ˜ด Unconscious But Still Breathing โ€” What Should You Do? ๐Ÿš‘
Finding someone unresponsive can be scary โ€” but knowing what to do next can save their life.

At Platinum Medical, we teach you the simple, lifesaving steps to handle emergencies like this with confidence.

โš ๏ธ What You Might See:
โ€ข The person is not responding to you
โ€ข Their chest is rising and falling (theyโ€™re still breathing)
โ€ข Their muscles are limp or relaxed

๐Ÿ’ก What To Do โ€“ Step by Step:
1. โœ… Check for danger โ€“ make sure the area is safe for you and the casualty.
2. ๐Ÿ‘‹ Check for a response โ€“ gently shake their shoulders and ask, โ€œAre you okay?โ€
3. ๐Ÿ’จ Check breathing โ€“ look, listen, and feel for normal breathing.
4. โค๏ธ If breathing normally but unresponsive:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Place them in the recovery position.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Tilt their head slightly back to keep the airway open.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Monitor their breathing and stay with them until help arrives.
5. ๐Ÿ“ž Call 999 for an ambulance.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Why it matters:
Someone who is unconscious but breathing can still lose their airway โ€” especially if lying on their back. The recovery position keeps their airway clear and helps prevent choking or suffocation.

๐Ÿšจ Would You Know What to Do if Someone Started Choking? ๐Ÿš‘
When every second counts, your quick actions could save a life. At Platinum Medical, we teach you the vital first aid skills to respond confidently in emergencies like choking.

๐Ÿ˜จ Choking Happens Fast โ€” and it can happen to anyone. Whether itโ€™s food, small objects, or even medication, knowing what to look for is key.

โš ๏ธ Signs of Choking:
โ€ข Difficulty breathing, talking, or coughing
โ€ข Noisy or wheezy breathing
โ€ข Clutching the throat (the universal choking sign)
โ€ข Bluish lips or face
โ€ข Little or no air movement โ€” silent struggle
โ€ข Loss of consciousness if not relieved quickly

๐Ÿ’ช First Aid for Choking (Adults & Children):
1. Encourage the person to cough if they can still breathe or talk.
2. If coughing doesnโ€™t work and they canโ€™t breathe:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Give up to 5 sharp back blows between the shoulder blades with the heel of your hand.
3. If the obstruction isnโ€™t cleared:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Give up to 5 abdominal thrusts.
4. Alternate 5 back blows and 5 abdominal thrusts until the object is cleared or the person becomes unresponsive.
5. If unresponsive and not breathing normally โ€“ start CPR and call 999 immediately.

๐Ÿ‘ถ For infants (under 1 year):
Lay the baby face down on your forearm, support their head, and use gentle but firm back blows and chest thrusts.

๐Ÿš‘ Do You Know How to Recognise and Respond to Anaphylaxis? ๐Ÿšจ
At Platinum Medical, we believe knowledge saves lives โ€” and anaphylaxis is one situation where quick action makes all the difference.

๐Ÿ’ฅ What is Anaphylaxis?
Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction that can happen within seconds or minutes of exposure to an allergen such as food, insect stings, or medication.

โš ๏ธ Signs and Symptoms to Look For:
โ€ข Difficulty breathing or noisy breathing
โ€ข Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
โ€ข Hives, redness, or itching
โ€ข Feeling faint, dizzy, or collapsing
โ€ข Abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhoea (especially after food triggers)

๐Ÿ’‰ First Aid Treatment:
1. Call 999 immediately โ€“ anaphylaxis is a medical emergency.
2. Lay the person flat โ€“ do not let them stand or walk.
(If they are having trouble breathing, allow them to sit.)
3. Administer an adrenaline auto-injector (EpiPen) into the outer mid-thigh.
4. If no improvement after 5 minutes, give a second adrenaline dose, in the other thigh.
5. Monitor their breathing and be ready to start CPR if they become unresponsive.

๐Ÿฉบ Learn how to respond confidently in emergencies.
Our accredited first aid courses teach you essential life-saving skills โ€” including how to recognise and manage anaphylaxis safely.

Bonfire Night is one of the highlights of the season โ€” a time for friends, family, and community to come together. But while we all enjoy the warmth and excitement, itโ€™s important to keep safety at the heart of your celebrations.

At Platinum Medical, weโ€™ve seen first-hand how quickly things can go wrong around open flames. Our experienced team provides event medical cover across the UK to help keep everyone safe โ€” but prevention is always better than cure.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Bonfire Safety Tips:
โœ… Build your bonfire away from fences, trees, and buildings
๐Ÿšซ Never use petrol or paraffin to start your fire
๐Ÿงฏ Keep a bucket of water or sand nearby
๐Ÿพ Check for hedgehogs or wildlife before lighting
๐Ÿ‘€ Supervise children and pets at all times
๐Ÿ”ฅ Make sure the fire is completely out before you leave

Whether youโ€™re planning a large public display or a private community event, our trained medical teams are here to support you โ€” ensuring your celebration is safe, fun, and memorable for all the right reasons.

โค๏ธ Create a safe space: Close curtains, turn on the TV or some calming music to mask loud noises.
๐Ÿ  Keep them indoors: Make sure cats and dogs are safely inside before fireworks begin.
๐Ÿฆฎ Walk dogs earlier: Try to get walks done before dark to avoid sudden bangs.
๐Ÿ’ฌ Stay calm yourself: Pets pick up on your emotions โ€” if youโ€™re relaxed, theyโ€™ll feel safer too.
๐Ÿ“… Plan ahead: If your pet really struggles, speak to your vet about possible calming aids.

At Platinum Medical, we know that safety starts at home โ€” and weโ€™re proud to support safe, well-managed events where both people and pets can stay out of harmโ€™s way. ๐Ÿฉบ
