First Aid Bites & A Quick Update
What to do when someone is in shock/fainting?
*Note: DO NOT stop the person from falling, help him/her fall slowly. If there is a crowd around, get them to spread out to give the casualty some air.
*Note: DO NOT stop the person from falling, help him/her fall slowly. If there is a crowd around, get them to spread out to give the casualty some air.
- The person must lie on their back - preferably with their feet raised - to ensure enough blood gets to the brain.
- Make sure the person is warm, comfortable and covered by a blanket if possible. Loosen restrictive clothing. (such as: ties, shoes, watch etc.)
- Do not give them anything to drink because they could run a risk of choking.
- If the person vomits or bleeds from the mouth, he or she must be placed on their side to prevent choking. (aka: recovery position)
- The person should recover from it after a few minutes. If not, seek help immediately.
***
We are aware that there has been a halt in st. john activities. don't worry! after the exams, we will be jammed packed with special things for all of you! One day exursions, group movie outings, possibly? ;]

Hyperventilation
Hello dear members, here is something new for you to extend your knowledge in First Aid. :)
I'm sure you've come across this term "hyperventilation". Girls especially, you'll often come across someone saying that they hyperventilate when they see their idol. (Often used as an expression) So, what exactly is hyperventilation?
It is commonly a manifestation of acute anxiety and may accompany a panic attack.
Hyperventilation causes abnormal loss of carbon dioxide from the blood, leading to chemical changes within the blood.
Recognition:
-unnaturally fast, deep breathing
- dizziness or faintness
- trembling and tingling in the hands
- attention-seeking behaviour
- cramps in the hands and feet
What are your aims as a first aider?
- To remove the casualty from the cause of distress
- To reassure the casualty and calm her down
How do you treat the casualty?
1. Speak to the casualty, introduce yourself as a qualified first aider, then reassure him/her that everything would be fine. (Be firm but kind and reassuring)
2. If possible, lead the casualty away to a quiet place where he/she may be able to regain control of her breathing more easily and quickly. If this is not possible, ask any bystanders to leave. (control crowd)
3. If the casualty is not able to regain control of his/her breathing, ask her to re-breathe her own exhaled air from a paper bag. Tell him/her to breathe in and out slowly, using the bag, about 10 times and then breathe without the bag for 15 seconds. He/she should continue to alternate this cycle of breathing with and without the bag until the need to breathe rapidly has passed.
4. Encourage the casualty to see her doctor about preventing and controlling panic attacks in the future.

Report : State First Aid and Home Nursing Competition 2009
Date : 3 May 2009
Time : 8.00 am - 5.00 pm
Venue : Kuala Selangor Indoor Stadium
Everyone gathered at school at the ungodly hour of 4.30 in the morning. The bus was scheduled to leave our school by 4.45 am in order to reach SMK Kepong by 5 am. Fortunately, everyone was on time and we left school as scheduled. At SMK Kepong, we picked up supporters and competitors from Kepong and Taman Seraya.
After a nearly 2 hour drive, we finally reached our destination - Kuala Selangor Indoor Stadium. Once there, supporters helped the team get ready just in time for registration.
The competition started with a briefing by the State Cadet Officer, Tuan Manimaran who was also the Chief Marshall for the day. Competitors were to head to the Quarantine Room and supporters were given places to sit and spectate in the stands.
The competition proper started at roughly 9 o'clock.

The competition ended earlier than expected. Even so, the Closing Ceremony only started at 4.00 pm. After speeches by Tuan Yeoh Kim Thong - State Commander of Selangor Darul Ehsan and Y.B. Irmuthiah - Guest of Honour, Tuan Manimaran finally announced the results.
Results are as follows :
Nursing Cadet Category

Finally, we boarded the bus back to school.
Heartfelt thanks to the team for working so hard! The division is so proud of the five of you! Also, thank you to our Area Officers and Trainers for working with the team. Nothing could have been achieved without your help and dedication.
Congratulations to all the winners!
Overall a day well spent, even if it was a long 14 hours.

Report : Essential First Aid Examination 2009
Date : 25 April 2009
Day : Saturday
Time : 7.30 am - 1.00 pm
Venue : SMK Damansara Utama
The exam was scheduled to begin at 7.30am. But our recruits were already gathered in 4 Keruing as early as 7.00am to register.Day : Saturday
Time : 7.30 am - 1.00 pm
Venue : SMK Damansara Utama
They were examined based on their knowledge in:
- Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
- Fractures and Bandaging
- Transportation
- Theory
In the waiting room, the recruits asked the form 5s & form 4s many, many questions to clear any doubts they had.
As they were waiting for their turn, one could here logbooks being flipped through very furiously!
Look at the happy faces. :D
The first aid crash courses was a great help to prepare the recruits for the exam. Most of them walked out the examination room feeling confident and excited but nervous at the same time to sit for the next one!
Once this was all done, the recruits proceeded to the registration counter to collect their scrumptious packed lunch, bee hoon.
Everyone felt really happy.
Fellow recruits, keep your fingers crossed as the first aid examination results will be announced real soon. We are certain most of you will pass.
Then, you will be able to go for fun-filled public duties and serve the community as a proud & qualified first aider of St. John Ambulance Malaysia!

5th Anniversary Dinner of St. John Ambulance Malaysia
Taman Seraya Division
Venue: Dewan Cempaka (Kelab Darul Ehsan)
Time: 7.00pm-10.30pm
Date: 25th April 2009
(it was held on the same day as the basic first aid examination)

Our division booked one table for 10 people:
- Aaron Lim
- Derek Chan
- Joyce Wong
- Lim Yi Jean
- Nikita Nair
- Amanda Lim
- Aris
- Claire Tan
- Heeran Nair
- Toh Shawn Zheng
Unfortunately, Joyce could not make it as she was ill.

Our division was seated on table No. 2.
(which was right behind the V.I.P's table. Therefore, we had a good view of all the performances. :D )
Once the opening speeches were given by their school's headmistress' representative, En. Mansor and Area Commander, Tuan Yap, we proceeded to fill our plates with yummy food.

The dinner was an all-you-can-eat-buffet. (desserts included! Yum!) While everyone devoured the delicious food, we were also treated with a music performance by two of our Taman Seraya friends on the violin & keyboard.

The emcees kick-started the event with an overview of the night ahead.
Then, there were two dance performances followed by a magic show which wow-ed the audience! The guests were also invited to join the dancers in front for ballroom dancing.
Later, the organizing team screened a multimedia presentation to showcase pictures and videos of Taman Seraya division's activities, B.O.Ds', members and their achievements.
Besides that, there was also a lucky draw event based on the local reality show 'Deal Or No Deal' concept.

Our division was struck with luck that night. We have not only one, but two winners for the lucky draw contest!
Yi Jean won a 4GB pendrive & Aris won an electric fan.
Aris, Shawn and Heeran.This dinner was not only tummy-filling and fun, it also gave us an opportunity to mingle and get to know our area officers and members from other divisions.

That wraps up this post on Taman Seraya's Anniversary dinner! We all enjoyed ourselves very much.
A job well done goes to Taman Seraya's organizing team who put in effort and hard work into making this dinner a success!
Dear members,
We hope to see you at our division's very own anniversary dinner! ;)
