Artificial tanning sunbeds: risk and guidance

Sunbeds emit UVA and UVB radiation. In general, sunbeds predominantly emit UVA radiation, which is thought to be the least damaging of the UV radiation spectrum. However in recent years, sunbeds have been manufactured that produce higher levels of UVB to mimic the solar spectrum and speed the tanning process.

Overexposure to UV radiation from the sun and artificial sources is of considerable public health concern. UV radiation plays an important role in the development of skin cancer, cataracts, and other eye conditions, and suppresses the immune system. Cumulative UV radiation also results in premature skin ageing.

While WHO does not recommend the use of UV tanning devices for cosmetic purposes, it is recognized that sunbeds continue to be available to the public.

This practical guide, prepared by Craig Sinclair, WHO, is intended for government health authorities, to assist them in the development of public health policy in relation to sunbeds.

Okanagan First Aid Stop bleeding – ( British Red Cross Video )

Filed under: Kelowna First Aid Videos — Tags: aed, ambulance, babysitters, bleed, bleeding, blog, blood, career, courses, cpr, first aid, hemorrhaging, instructor, job, kelowna, nose, okanagan, paramedic, peachland, recert, recertification, red, red cross, redcross, salmon arm, sling, st.johns, stop, teach, train, training, vancouver, vernon, victoria, video, volume, whmis — admin @ 6:17 pm

Bleeding, technically known as hemorrhaging or haemorrhaging (the latter is the preferred international spelling as per the World Health Organisation and many other international medical agencies) (see American and British spelling differences) is the loss of blood from the circulatory system.[1] Bleeding can occur internally, where blood leaks from blood vessels inside the body or externally, either through a natural opening such as the vagina, mouth, nose, or anus, or through a break in the skin. The complete loss of blood is referred to as exsanguination,[2] and desanguination is a massive blood loss. Loss of 10-15% of total blood volume can be endured without clinical sequelae in a healthy person, and blood donation typically takes 8-10% of the donor’s blood volume.
