What should you do if you are bitten by a snake?

You should treat any snake bite as a life-threatening emergency. Do NOT attempt to catch the snake - it is not needed for identification purposes.

A CareFlight aircraft is a welcome sight to people living in remote locations who would not otherwise be able to access urgent medical care for emergencies, like snake bite. CareFlight’s ability to respond quickly and fly to some of the most inhospitable places in the country is incredibly important to ensure that patients can get life-saving care.

Suck out the venom then carry on

Tourniquet the bite and panic

Catch the snake for identification purposes

Seek urgent medical help by calling 000, keep still and apply a pressure immobilisation bandage and splint if possible

What should you do if your car breaks down in a remote location?

Stay with your car until help arrives. If you break down in the middle of nowhere, stay with your car until someone else arrives. It’s really simple: if emergency services need to come looking for you, a car is bigger and easier to find than a person. Also, your car will provide some shelter – either shade or warmth.

Walk back in the direction you travelled from until you reach a service station

Stay with the car until help arrives

Bury yourself under the nearest tree, to prevent sunburn

Use your petrol to spell out HELP and light it on fire

You and a friend are in a remote area and your friend collapses from heat exhaustion. What do you do?

When someone has heat exhaustion it is best to lie them in a cool, shady place and remove any extra layers of clothing. If possible, sponge the person with water and fan them which will cool them down more rapidly. If they are awake, give them non-alcoholic fluids to drink, and place their feet slightly higher than their head.

If you ever end up in that situation, you’ll have the knowledge to better someone’s chances of survival. CareFlight is constantly exploring ways in which we can do a better job of saving lives, speeding recovery and serving the community. We need our local communities, businesses and people like you to support us so we can continue to be a crucial lifeline for those who need us.
