First Aid - Specific medical emergencies
Heart attack first aid
This section explains how to recognise a heart attack and what you can do.
Seizure
Most seizures last no longer than a few minutes and end spontaneously, but in some cases emergency help is essential.
Stroke first aid
A stroke is a medical emergency. It occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is disrupted, usually by a blood clot.
Asthma first aid
Asthma attacks are seldom fatal with prompt, correct treatment. Here's what to do.
Diabetes: first aid
Diabetic ketoacidosis is a life-threatening state that occurs when blood glucose levels are extremely high. Diabetics are also at risk of dangerously low blood glucose levels.
