From the desk of Rasheed:

Do you have a first aid question? I will answer it for you on the Junior n U “Ask the Expert” page!

Last week, Junior n U called me and invited me to be part of the panel of experts for the category of first aid. Check it out here:

http://www.juniornu.com/community/ask-the-experts

The panel of experts include prominent names such as

• Thenmoliee Joe (Kid’s behaviour, IQ, kids with special needs),
• Claudel Kuek (Owner of PowerMoves Pilates Studio)
• and Wong Li-Lin (yes, the actress from 90′s local drama “999″)

This is a great opportunity for parents and caregivers to post their questions and clear their doubts on first aid. In fact, I’ve already posted up a few common “myth busters” to begin with. You can read them here >>

Article written by Mr Mohamed Saufee, Lead Trainer of Singapore First Aid Training Centre on CPR for the Human Capital. Read it below:

Singapore First Aid Training Centre was being invited by Eagle Productions to provide professional input for a Malay Health programme on Suria called S.M.L @ Sihat. S.M.L@Sihat is a health magazine that broaches the subject of health in a ‘prevention is better than cure’ approach.

This episode includes a segment on cardiac arrest. It covers the identification, signs and symptoms, CPR and also an introduction to the AED or Automated External Defibrillator. The skit is a guy who was running on the threadmill and suddenly experiences immensed chest pain. He loses balance, falls off the threadmill but is just saved in time from falling by a fellow gym member. At this point, a close up shot shows him looking pale and sweaty, both signs of a heart attack.
