Life is so Short

Sometimes in life it is not possible to avoid the losses. For example People may become ill. They may die of illness or accidents or their homes or other property may undergo damage or theft. In all these cases we can’t avoid all of that and it’s better to be prepared for what happen than doing anything.

I’m a teacher in my profession almost 10 years ago. I have my own family  and I am also a mother. And as a mother I want to be sure that my family is safe what ever happens and so I apply for the insurance wherein these is a financially insuring that if such an incident comes about then the loss does not affect the present well being of the person. For my family I apply them for a health insurance since I don’t have any idea what happen in future and I’m not rich to cover up all the expenses in the hospital if that happen, so I think health insurance help me a lot to cover medical bills and save money. And for me I apply life Insurance, for me this is only I can invest for myself. It is like savings that in term of needs I can use.

Hemorrhage

Hemorrhage or loss of large amount of blood occurs when there is a rupture in one or more blood vessel. Generally, small cuts, only capillaries are injured. Deeper wounds as in lacerations results in injury of veins and arteries. Bleeding which is severing enough to endanger life seldom occurs except when arteries or veins are cut or damaged.

The averaged adult body contains about 8 quarts of blood. A loss of one pint usually does not have harmful effects. But loss of two pints usually cause shock; and shock increases as the amount of blood loss increases. If half of the blood of the body is lost, death will result. The blood from ruptured capillary is usually brick-red in color, in ruptured capillary, the blood oozes out slowly. Blood coming from the veins is dark red in color. If a vein is cut or served the blood escapes in a steady even flow. An artery on the other hand near the surface, if cut gives out blood in spurts and is synchronized by the beating of the heart, a deeply buried artery that is cut will show a seemingly steady stream

Artificial Respiration

The mouth to mouth or mouth to nose technique of Artificial Respiration in the absence of equipment is the most practical method foe emergency ventilation of a person of any age who has stopped breathing, regardless of why breathing has stopped. The mouth to mouth and mouth to nose resuscitation are unequivocally superior to any of the manual techniques.

The mouth to mouth, mouth to nose techniques provides more ventilation that the other methods using direct air pressure exerted by the rescuer to obtain more accurate information on the volume, pressure and timing of efforts needed to inflate the victim’s lungs that is afforded by other methods. Another advantage of this method of Artificial Respiration aside from its effectiveness in ventilating the lungs is that it may be given in the water, in a boat underneath wreckage, and in other place where immediate resuscitation might be necessary. The manual methods of Artificial Respiration are chiefly of historical interest because they are not as effective as the mouth to mouth and nose to mouth method.
