Learning outcomes I can identify a minor or major head injury I can give first aid to a casualty who has a head injury I can call for help for a casualty who has a head injury

Brain facts 1. The human brain is like a powerful computer that operates the body. 2. It stores memories and controls how we move, think and react. 3. It keeps working, even when we are sleeping. 4. The brain is protected by the skull. 5. It uses 1/5 of our bodies energy.

Skull facts 1. The skull (cranium) protects the brain (the brain is inside of it). 2. The human skull is made up of 22 different bones. 3. The muscles that enable us to make different facial expressions attach to the skull. 4. Being male or female, and your race, will affect the size and shape of your skull. 5. The jawbone is the only part of the skull that moves.

The brain The brain is extremely delicate, so it sits inside the skull for protection. The brain is the control centre for our body, controlling our awareness, our decisions, our movements, our breathing and the heart. An injury to the head can lead to dangerous damage to the brain. Discuss the image of skull protecting the brain. Think of all the things that the brain controls, explain that in case of severe head injury, these could be affected.

What does the brain do? do? Activity A18 What does the brain do? do? Students now have the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge regarding  functions of the brain. Use our downloadable worksheet which can be found on slide 16 of this power point and the St John Ambulance website.  Optional activity

Accident prevention advice - wear a helmet!

REMEMBER a mild head injury could become worse Mild V Severe Signs of a MILD head injury could be: Wound to head Dizziness and/or feeling sick Confusion Mild headache Level of response may be affected for a brief period Loss of memory at the time or immediately before the injury REMEMBER a mild head injury could become worse Signs of a SEVERE head injury could be:  History of severe blow to the head Declining level of response.  Casualty may become unresponsive.  Blood or bloodstained watery fluid leaking from ear or nose Unequal pupil size If bleeding or swelling in brain then what seems a mild head injury initially could become a severe head injury.
