Hey all. I’m starting with Season 1 currently, and I’ve reached the first vocab list where you come up with words based on a passion.

My actual passion is martial arts, but since I know most of the words related to that (they are already in Japanese) I decided to go with things that have to do with my work, which is a First Aid instructor. As you can imagine the words are a bit technical in nature, but I had a try at looking them up, using the methods with Denshi Jisho and google images, but I imagine some of the words I found aren’t the proper ones. And a couple I couldn’t find at all. Here’s my list so far:

01 Bandage/Dressing – 包帯 – ほうたい
02 Splint – 副木 – そえぎ
03 Sling *
04 Blood – 血液 – けつえき
05 Burn – 火傷 – やけど
06 Bite – 噛傷 – かみきず
07 Breathing – 息 – いき
08 Fracture – 骨折 – こっせつ
09 Bandage/Crepe roller bandage *
10 Rest – 休める – やすめる
11 Ice pack – 冷湿布/冷罨法 – れいしっぷ/ れいあんぽう
12 Compression – 圧迫性 – あっぱくせい
13 Elevate – 持上げる – もちあげる
14 Danger – 危険 – きけん
15 Response – 反応 – はんのう
16 Airway – 上気道 – じょうきどう
17 Circulation/Pulse – 脈 – みゃく
18 Defibrillator – 除細動器 – じょさいどうき
19 CPR – 心肺蘇生法 – しんぱいそせいほう
20 Heart – 心筋 – しんきん

For number 3 it’s supposed to be an arm sling, for when you have a fractured arm.
For number 9 I found a dressing bandage (I think), but not the compression/roller bandage you would use to secure a dressing. There might not even be a separate word for it, as they are fairly interchangeable in English as well.
For number 11 I’m not sure which one is the best.

As for the others, I would appreciate it if someone knowledgeable could just check my list and make sure I’ve looked up the proper words.
