Hi, my name is Junardy and I’m a trainer with the Singapore First Aid Training Centre.

In a recent query from a course participant, he had told me that he received an email in which many people here in Singapore had received also. It was stated in the email that whenever someone has a heart attack, he or she should cough out heavily.

This is not advisable as what we should actually do is to give out medications and monitor his or her condition by looking out for signs and symptoms such as sweaty and pale skin. In which call for the ambulance immediately, if the casualty goes unconscious, and if the casualty is not breathing, start CPR.
