This Clever First Aid Blanket Is Going To Save Lives

Most people would agree that it is important to know the basics of first-aid. The unfortunate reality is, however, very few people know how to do it. We’ve all seen some of it being done in movies, such as CPR, but if you are faced with the need to do it in real life, would you know what to do? If you have this first-aid blanket available, it can help to save lives. It may not provide you with all the training you need, but it can walk you through the basics.

This blanket was designed by Zhejiang University, China. It won the prestigious red dot award for conceptual design in 2014 and is designed for assisting with individuals who are drowning. It provides information on how to check for circulation, how to unblock airways and how to correctly administer CPR. Even if you don’t understand the basics of first-aid, the instructions provide you with what you need to get through it. They are clearly printed alongside diagrams that provide the step by step instructions necessary until paramedics are able to arrive on the scene.
