The respiration system, above all, reacts to carbon dioxide levels in the blood:
What is the most serious damage to the tissue concerning damage by pressure?
Increasing pressure and developing oedema.

There is nothing more you can do to prevent food poisoning, than ensure that frozen poultry and meat are fully defrosted before it is cooked. Cook meat, poultry, fish, and eggs thoroughly to kill harmful bacteria. Never keep food lukewarm for long periods; bacteria can multiply without obvious signs of spoilage:
Bandages must be sterile before use:
A limb with an external bleeding should be lowered to maintain circulation in order to supply the cells with oxygen and prevent cell death:
A triangular bandage is always used in its triangular shape:
Symptoms of serious head injury are unconsciousness, low pulse rate and high blood pressure:
Once a bandage is in place it should be left alone:
An unconscious patient suffering from a major spine injury should not be placed in recovery position, as this may increase the damage and lead to paralysis:
Visible shortening of a limb is not necessarily a sign of a fracture:
Heat cramps seldom occurs after excessive sweating precipitated by strenuous exercise:
