Teaching first aid skills to children
|
Injuries and illness can strike at any time, and during childhood, many youngsters require first aid treatment when something serious happens.
Research by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has found that the most common cause of hospitalised injury amongst children is a fall of some type, such as from playground equipment. Injuries due to thermal causes (such as scalds from hot liquids), drowning and accidental poisoning are also particular causes for concern in children under the age of four.
When children do run into trouble, there are often siblings or classmates around, and when parents experience health problems, it's also common for children to be first on the scene.
