First ‐aid training in school: amount, content and hindrances
This study aimed to establish how much time is spent on first‐aid training, which first‐aid measures are taught, and which factors prevent teachers from providing the quantity and quality of first‐aid training that they wish to give. MethodsA questionnaire was distributed to teachers in physical education in primary and secondary schools and to teachers in vocational subjects in higher secondary schools. ResultsThe teachers taught a median of two lessons in first aid per year. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was taught by 64% of teachers, free airway and recovery position by 69% and stopping severe bleeding by 51...

Accidental hypothermia and local cold injury: physiological and epidemiological studies on risk
ConclusionsHypothermia and cold injury continue to cause injury and hospitalisation in the northern region of Sweden. Assessment and management is not standardised across hospitals. With the identification of groups at high risk for fatal hypothermia, it should be possible to reduce the incidence, particularly for highest risk subjects: rural, living alone, alcohol imbibing, and psychiatric diagnosis‐carrying citizens. Long‐term cold‐weather training may affect hand‐rewarming patterns after a cold provocation, and a warmer baseline hand temperature with faster rewarming after a cold provocation may be associated wi...
