Chapter 1 Introduction

Understanding Injuries Most injuries and sudden illnesses do not result in death, but rather result in: Hospitalization Treatment in an emergency department or from a general practitioner Treatment from a first aid provider

Importance of First Aid It is better to know first aid and not need it that need it and not know it. Goals of first aid: Preserving life Alleviating suffering Preventing further illness or injury Promoting recovery

First Aid Competencies Recognizing, assessing, and prioritizing the need for first aid Providing care by using appropriate knowledge, skills, and behaviors Recognizing limitations and seeking additional care when needed Courtesy of Lara Shane/FEMA.

Role of the First Aid Provider Recognize the emergency. Factors that help a first aid provider recognize an emergency include the following: The severity of the injury or illness How close you are to the emergency scene and the length of time you are at an emergency scene A person’s distressed appearance or panic-stricken behavior Previously knowing and recognizing the injured or ill person Scene conditions (ie, sights, smells, sounds)

Role of the First Aid Provider Decide to help. Excuses some people use for not helping: It is harmful—eg, “I could be injured, infected with a disease, or sued. I could hurt the person.” Obstacles are in the way—eg, “I don’t know how to help. The scene is unsafe. I don’t like smelling or seeing blood, vomit, or burned skin.”

Role of the First Aid Provider Before helping, take the appropriate actions. Size up the scene. Ask if you may help. Seek medical care, if needed. Prevent disease transmission.

Role of the First Aid Provider Find what is wrong with the person. Before giving first aid, you must determine what is wrong with the person—“find it, fix it.” Most cases involve checking only a person’s chief complaint.

Role of the First Aid Provider Give first aid. Based upon what you found, give first aid until one of the following events occur: Emergency medical services (EMS) takes over You take the person to a medical facility It is determined the person needs only first aid and home care
