Who can use an Automated External Defibrillator

In 2006, the Ontario Legislature introduced the Chase McEachern Act. This Act protects people from using an automated external defibrillator (by a first aider) in an emergency or they have made an AED available in good faith (by an employer/landlord, etc.). The use of an AED is very simple and has been shown to save lives. All Canadian Red Cross First Aid and CPR courses include certification in the use of an AED.

First Aid for Nose Bleeds

Nosebleeds are a very common injury but some misconceptions still exist about their treatment. Most nosebleeds can be treated by having the person lean their head slightly forward while pinching the nostrils for about 10 to 15 minutes. Use a cloth or bandaging to catch the blood that does come out. Call EMS/911 if the person loses consciousness, if the bleeding continues after 15 minutes or if the bleeding was caused as a result of a medical condition or head injury.
