   Voice 1

 
  Welcome to Spotlight1. I’m Joshua Leo.
 
  Voice 2
 
  And I’m Liz Waid. Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand - no matter where in the world they live.
 
  Voice 1
 
  Imagine this situation. You are at home with your small child. It is cold outside, so you have a small electric heater. Suddenly you hear a scream! You run to your child. She touched the heater! Now she has serious burns on her face, and on her hands. What should you do?
 
  Voice 2
 
  Treating a hurt person quickly is called first aid. First aid does not require expert medical help – anyone can learn first aid. Today’s Spotlight is the third program in a series on first aid. One of the most common injuries is burns. But the right, quick treatment for burns can make a big difference.
 
  Voice 1
 
  Children’s interest in the world around them can put them in dangerous situations - where burns can easily happen. They may touch hot pans2 of food. They may play with fire. Adults also experience burns too often. Hospital records show the high number of burn victims each year. So what should you do if someone suffers a burn?
 
  Voice 2
 
  First, look at the burn. Is it a small burn? Doctors say a small burn is about twenty-three millimetres across. Then ask the victim, “Is your burn very painful?”
 
  Voice 1
 
  Surprisingly, more serious burns are not very painful. If you are dealing3 with a small painful burn, it is not serious. You can treat it without a doctor. Put the burn under cold running water for ten minutes. This is called ‘flushing5’. It cools the burned area. You may have to flush4 the burn for longer if the victim still feels pain. Do not use ice. Ice is too cold. It can damage the skin.
 
  Voice 2
 
  After flushing, cover the burn. A clean bandage or cloth is good. You can even use a CLEAN plastic bag. Do not use anything that may stick to the burn. The covering is important. It will keep the burn clean. This will help to stop infection.
 
  Voice 1
 
  Infection is very serious. It happens when bacteria enter the wound. The signs of infection are increasing pain, redness, fever, and white or yellow pus. However, blisters7 are a good sign. These areas of skin fill with fluid8. They protect the burn. If the blister6 breaks, it could cause infection. If the burn becomes infected, you will need a doctor immediately.
 
  Voice 2
 
  But what if the burn is more serious? If the burn does not hurt the victim, then it is probably more serious. This sounds strange. But burns that take away a person’s feeling have damaged the skin and nerves9 deep down. If the victim’s burn is more than 23 millimetres across, then it is also serious. In both cases, you must take the victim to a doctor. But your early help will give the victim the best chance to make a good recovery10. Here is what you need to do with large burns:
 
  Voice 1
 
  First remove the victim’s clothes around the burned area. Burns often make the injured body part swell11 or get bigger. Tight, close fitting12 clothes can cause injuries as the body swells13. Also remove any jewellery from fingers, wrists and neck.  Then treat the burned area with cool running water. Cover the burned area lightly with a clean cloth. Then get help fast. If you can get the victim to a doctor more quickly, the victim has a better chance of recovery.
 
  Voice 2
 
  Burns on the inside of the mouth also require quick treatment. It is important to cool the area. Ask yourself, “Is the victim still awake and conscious? Can he talk and look at me?”
 
  Voice 1
 
  If the victim is conscious, then help him to drink small amounts of cold water. Drinking water will help to reduce swelling14 in the victim’s mouth. However, the swelling may make it difficult for the victim to breathe. If this happens, then go to a doctor.
 
  Voice 2
 
  Jill McLaughlin received First Aid training from the British Red Cross. The Red Cross organization does first aid training in many countries. Jill was also a performer in her town’s Christmas holiday play. This group practiced together to prepare for the performance. At one practice, Jill needed her first aid training. The group was taking a short break. They were drinking hot coffee and talking. Jill saw her neighbors, who were old. Suddenly, the husband fell towards his wife. He bumped15 her. And she spilled her hot coffee over her chest. Jill told the Red Cross,
 
  Voice 3
 
  “I turned to see her fall backwards16. She gasped17. I saw that the hot coffee had gone through her shirt. It was burning her skin.
 
  I asked all the men to leave the room. Then, I lifted the poor woman’s shirt. I pulled the bra away from her chest. Then I called to the women cooking in the kitchen. I asked them for a cloth and cold water. I immediately started to place cold water on her chest area.”
 
  Voice 1
 
  Jill sent the woman’s husband for clean dry clothes. Then they finished the practice. But Jill watched the woman carefully, for any problems. Jill’s quick action helped her neighbour. Without the treatment, the older woman would have had a serious burn. Instead, it did not blister, or leave a mark. Jill added,
 
  Voice 3
 
  “If I had not had first aid training, the situation would have been serious. The woman probably would have had permanent marks on her skin. And she would have needed a trip to the hospital.”
 
  Voice 2
 
  There are many different kinds of accidents. Each of them needs different first aid help. The right, quick, action can save a person’s life.
 
  Voice 1
 
  In another programme we will look at first aid for some other injuries and accidents. If you are interested in first aid, you can learn more. Ask your local doctor or hospital where you can train in first aid. You never know - you could save a life.
 
  Voice 2
 
  The writers of this program were Marina Santee and Elizabeth Lickiss. The producer was Michio Ozaki. All quotes were adapted for this program and voiced by Spotlight.
