Standing for "P" - Prevention "R" - Rest "I" - Ice "C" - Compression "E" - Elevation Of course prevention is the most important aspect of this; unfortunately in most first aid situations, the injured person as already blown the "P" and you're down to "RICE". Compression is then your best bet to stem the flow and to prevent the onset of shock (and to reduce the risk of infection). Al Mon Sep 21, 2009 11:38 am  PRICE -vs- FRED Al, Good point - I know FRED as that is what I was taught. What do you think is the most applicable term taught to the kids nowadays. We should stick with what the kids are familiar with. I can easily drum up a similar page with the PRICE acronym and have both FRED and PRICE so the presenter has options depending on the audience.
