Life-Threatening First Aid Emergency Procedures If an infant or toddler in your care… is unconscious and nonresponsive is having trouble breathing or is not breathing has no signs of circulation has severe bleeding can not move his or her arms or legs …take immediate action!

What To Do In a Life-Threatening Emergency Stay Calm and use the “Three C’s” Check Call Care

Check Check the scene Ensure the scene is safe (if not, move to safety) Look for clues that might tell you what happened (poisons, broken toys, etc.)

Check (cont.) Check the victim Tap foot (infant) or shoulder (child) and shout victim’s name Check for other life-threatening emergencies: Breathing Bleeding Broken Bones Bruises Burns Other To protect both you and the victim, avoid contact with body substances or fluids, known as Body Substance Isolation (BSI), whenever possible. BSI procedures assume that all body fluids are a possible risk; use gloves and/or breathing barriers, if available, and always wash your hands after care.

Call Call 911 or your local emergency number If you are alone and the victim is under eight years old and not breathing, begin CPR for the first minute, then call 911 or your local emergency number Use a landline versus a cell phone whenever possible

Call (cont.) If someone is with you, have them call 911 or your local emergency number while you provide first aid care If the problem is not life-threatening but might get worse soon, call the parent(s)/guardian(s)

Care Care depends on the medical problem Always care for life-threatening emergencies first: Breathing (ensure breathing first) Bleeding (control all emergency bleeding second) Broken bones (always suspect a neck or back injury) Bruises (internal bleeding) Burns (1st degree burns are mild, followed by 2nd and 3rd degree burns) NOTE: The next lesson will help you identify first aid situations and action plans you can take as a caregiver.

How To Call For Help Call 911 or your local emergency number Tell the dispatcher you have an emergency Give the dispatcher the following information: Address Cross streets Phone number Number of people injured Type of care administered

How To Call For Help (cont.) 4. DO NOT HANG UP!! Wait for dispatcher questions and further instruction 5. If someone is with you, tell them to go outside and meet the ambulance/medical services 6. Call the child’s parent/guardian as soon as possible and let them know what happened
