1. Person not breathing - Call emergency number. Ensure that the person is on a flat surface and face-up. Begin CPR until the person starts breathing or ambulance arrive. 2. Person bleeding heavily - Call emergency number. Prevent further blood loss by pressuring the wound with the pad until the bleeding stops and wait for professional help. 3. Heart attack - Call emergency number. Sit the person down. Let them an aspirin tablet to chew slowly and wait for an ambulance to arrive. 4. Shock - Call emergency number. Lie the person down and raise their legs. Warm them and if necessary begin CPR. 5. Poisoning - Call emergency number. Find out what was swallowed and do not try to cause vomiting. Do not give them any food or drink.
