About this skill

Problem It Solves

In sudden injuries, the bottleneck is not a list of home remedies but making the right first move quickly. Applying toothpaste to burns, pressing wounds incorrectly, or heating an acute sprain can worsen harm. This skill turns common injury scenarios into actionable first-aid workflows, helping users stabilize the situation before professional help arrives.

How It Works

It follows assessment → first aid → follow-up:

Urgent triage first: for heavy bleeding, loss of consciousness, breathing difficulty, or suspected fractures, it says to call 120 before giving waiting measures.
Concrete steps: burn flushing, nosebleed pressure for 10-15 minutes, sprain RICE care, and when to use Heimlich maneuvers are paired with what not to do.
Myth correction: no immediate heat within 48 hours for sprains, prefer povidone-iodine over alcohol for minor abrasions, and scrape bee stings instead of squeezing.
Care thresholds: it explains when to seek emergency care, wound clinics, tetanus evaluation, or rabies assessment without replacing diagnosis.

Boundaries

It is not for medical diagnosis, CPR/AED hands-on training, emergency dispatch, chronic disease management, or medication advice. Serious injuries require professional response; this skill is only a first-moment reference.
