6 how do I assess circulation problems?

The first aid podcast with your paramedic host Tj. Tj has more than 20 years of frontline paramedic experience and in the podcast he shares valuable lessons answering the question – What is first aid? He doesn’t talk so much about what should be in a first aid kit, rather, what are the most important considerations when providing first aid? In later episodes, Tj introduces the concept of immediate Care paramedics who can provide more advanced help if needed!

In this episode about the first aid assessment template, we look at circulation problems, here are some key take aways:

• Poor circulation problems can be life threatening.
• As soon as you recognise a life threatening circulatory problem call 999 for emergency help.
• Poor circulation symptoms are explained.
• Symptoms of poor circulation can cause other problems.
• Heart problems can be a sign of poor circulation.

Thank you, and take care!
