The 2024 updates to first aid guidelines are some of the most significant changes in years, and they’re designed to make emergency response simpler, faster, and more effective. In this episode, we’re breaking down the updates that matter most for everyday situations. Learn how Narcan is now officially recommended for opioid overdoses, why pulse oximeters have earned a spot in your first aid kit, and how to manage burns, dehydration, and asthma emergencies with the latest best practices.
We’ll also dive into new guidance on helping someone use an inhaler (even if they’re panicking) and when it’s safe to administer aspirin during a heart attack. Plus, we’re tackling one of the more unexpected topics: what to do with a tooth if it breaks or falls out. We've got some detailed guidance for you on this!
