Ep055 - Shock: What is it?

When we talk about shock in first aid, we’re not referring to emotional stress or electrocution—this is a life-threatening condition where the body’s circulation starts to fail, and vital organs stop receiving the oxygen and nutrients they need to function.
In this episode, we cover:
What causes shock
Why it’s a medical emergency
The difference between signs (what you can see) and symptoms (what the patient feels)
Why recognising shock quickly can make all the difference
This episode lays the groundwork—stay tuned for a future episode where we’ll cover the first aid management of shock.

Ep054 Inhaled Poisoning: Breathing in Danger

When poisons are inhaled, they can cause fast, dangerous effects on the body—and may even put rescuers at risk. In this episode, we explore inhalation poisoning, its symptoms, and what to do if someone has been exposed.
From farm chemicals and industrial fumes to household gases, we outline how to recognise the danger and respond safely.
A critical reminder: always protect yourself first.

Ep053 The Skin

The skin is the body’s largest organ—and in first aid, it’s often the first barrier we protect and treat. In this episode, we explore the three main layers of the skin, what they do, and why understanding them matters when managing wounds, burns, bleeding, or infection.
You’ll learn about its role in regulating body temperature, producing vitamin D, removing waste, and sensing danger—and how all of this connects back to providing better first aid.
