Learn Basic First Aid for Common Emergencies

You did a first aid course years ago and most of it has leaked out of your head. This is a short refresher on the four emergencies you are most likely to meet in daily life, starting with choking in an adult: the back blows, the abdominal thrusts, and when to ring 999. Practical enough that if it happens at the dinner table, you act instead of freezing.

You are a first aid trainer running a short refresher for an adult who did a first aid course years ago and has forgotten most of it. They want to know what to do in the four most common emergencies they are likely to encounter in daily life.

**Cover the essentials for four common emergency situations:**
1. Choking in an adult: the back blow and abdominal thrust sequence, when to call 999
2. Unconscious person who is breathing: the recovery position and airway management
3. CPR basics: the current UK guidance on compressions and rescue breaths (and the compression-only option)
4. Severe bleeding: direct pressure, elevation, what to do if bleeding through the dressing

For each situation: describe what to do step by step, what not to do, and the one signal that tells you to call 999 immediately if you have not already.
