Basic First Aid

Securing the scene 1. Electrical hazards 2. Chemical hazards 3. Noxious & Toxic gases 4. Ground hazards 5. Fire 6. Unstable equipment Before performing any First Aid, Check for:

Chain of Survival Early Access”911” Early CPR or First Aid You Early Defibrillation EMS on scene Early Advanced Care Hospital In order for a person to survive: Pay attention to: HISTORY; what happened; from the casualty or bystanders SYMPTOMS; what only the casualty can tell you SIGNS; what you can see for yourself

Universal Precautions for Airborne & Bloodborn Pathogens HIV & Hepatitis Tuberculosis Gloves & Respiratory Barrier devise are a must to prevent transmission of diseases

DURING TREATMENT  avoid coughing, breathing, or speaking over the wound  avoid contact with body fluids  use a face shield or mask with one-way-valve when doing active resuscitation  use only clean bandages and dressings  avoid treating more than one casualty without washing hands and changing gloves AFTER TREATMENT  clean up both casualty and yourself  clean up the immediate vicinity  dispose of dressings, bandages, gloves and soiled clothing correctly  wash hands with soap and water

Fundamentals of First Aid Activate EMS System 1. ABC (airway-breathing-circulation) 2. Control bleeding 3. Treat for Shock (medical emergencies) 4. Open wounds & Burns 5. Fractures & Dislocations 6. Transportation

ABC’s Causes of Respiratory/Cardiac Arrest Electrical Drowning Toxic - Noxious gases Suffocation Heart Attack Trauma Drugs Allergic reactions

Reaction Time If CPR/Artificial respiration is administered Chance of brain damage 0 to 4 minutes - minimal 4 to 6 minutes – possible 6 to 10 minutes- probable 10 minutes + - likely Oxygenated blood flow must get to brain

A-B-C’s Use chin lift/head tilt Look.-listen-feel for breathing Attempt to Ventilate Ventilate Every 5 seconds Establish responsiveness Check pulseRecovery position

Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation Should be certified to perform this procedure If done improperly, could harm victim

Airway Obstructions open closed obstructed Tongue

Heimlich Maneuver for Conscious Airway Obstruction

Types of Bleeding Veins Capillary Spurting Steady flow Oozing Artery Internal Injuries

Types of Wounds

Control of Bleeding Direct Pressure Elevation Cold Applications Pressure bandage

Pressure Points Where the artery passes over a bone close to the skin Temporal Facial Carotid Sub-clavian Brachial Radial Ulnar Femoral Popliteal Pedal

Tourniquet Absolute last resort in controlling bleeding,Remember Life or the limb Once a tourniquet is applied, it is not to be removed, only by a doctor

Shock Shock affects are major functions of the body loss of blood flow to the tissues and organs Shock must be treated for in all accident cases

Treatment for Shock Lie victim down if possibleLie victim down if possible Face is pale-raise the tailFace is pale-raise the tail Face is red-raise the headFace is red-raise the head Loosen tight clothingLoosen tight clothing Keep victim warm and dryKeep victim warm and dry Do not give anything by mouthDo not give anything by mouth No stimulantsNo stimulants

HEAT EXHAUSTION HEAT EXHAUSTION is caused by exertion accompanied by heat and high humidity. It particularly affects the very young and the elderly. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS  pale, clammy skin  profuse and prolonged sweating  cramps in the limbs and/or abdomen  nausea and/or vomiting  headache  lethargy CARE AND TREATMENT  complete rest in the shade, no further exertion  cool casualty by sponging with tepid water  when nausea passes, give cool water to drink (cautiously)  ensure casualty has assistance when recovered

HEAT STROKE Heat stroke is potentially fatal. In this condition, the body's temperature regulation center in the brain has been rendered inoperable, and the temperature continually rises, causing eventual brain damage. Immediate active intervention is necessary to avoid coma and death. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS flushed, hot, dry skin the casualty has ceased sweating rapid, strong pulse (sometimes irregular) irrational or aggressive behavior staggering gait visual disturbances vomiting collapse and seizures coma - death CARE AND TREATMENT urgent ambulance transport complete rest in shade remove casualty's clothing cool casualty with any means possible be prepared to resuscitate as required nothing by mouth - rehydration is by intravenous fluid

HYPOTHERMIA HYPOTHERMIA is a potentially fatal condition that especially affects the elderly. The body's core temperature has been lowered to the extent that the brain function is impaired and the heart's activity is about to be compromised. Urgent first aid intervention is required. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS pale, cold skin - no capillary return when fingernails are pressed slow pulse, sometimes skipping a beat slow, shallow respirations blurred, or double, vision casualty is silent, appears asleep, difficult to rouse; may be unconscious casualty experiences a sense of 'wellbeing' absence of shivering If very cold, may have non-reacting pupils and appear 'death-like' CARE AND TREATMENT urgent ambulance transport warm casualty slowly, wrap in 'space blanket' or similar if wet, leave less bulky clothing on and warm slowly once casualty commences shivering, reassess heating nothing by mouth until fully recovered be prepared for sudden collapse and resuscitation

Diabetic emergencies Insulin Shock (Hypoglycemia) Result of insufficient sugar- Fast onset Cold clammy skin, pale, rapid respiration's and pulse, incoherent Treat by giving sugar bases products Diabetic coma (Ketoacidosis) Too much sugar or insufficient insulin- Slow onset Warm, dry skin, slow respirations, smell of rotten fruit on breath True medical emergency, activate EMS system immediately Find out if victim has past diabetic history

Snake & Spider bites RattlesnakeCopperheadBlack WidowBrown Recluse Limit activity Constricting bandage above Cold application Advanced medical attention

Burns Thermal burns Cool application Don’t break blisters Dry sterile dressing, treat for shock

Severe Burns and Scalds Severe Burns and Scalds Treatment:  Cool the burn area with water for 10 to 20 minutes. Or use Burn Jel.  Lay the casualty down and make him as comfortable as possible, protecting burn area from ground contact.  Gently remove any rings, watches, belts or constricting clothing from the injured area before it begins to swell.  Cover the injured area loosely with sterile unmediated dressing or similar non fluffy material and bandage.  Don't remove anything that is sticking to the burn.  Don't apply lotions, ointments, butter or fat to the injury.  Don't break blisters or otherwise interfere with the injured area.  Don't over-cool the patient and cause shivering.  If breathing and heartbeat stop, begin resuscitation immediately,resuscitation  If casualty is unconscious but breathing normally, place in the recovery position.recovery position.  Treat for shock.shock  Send for medical attention.

Minor Burns and Scalds Treatment:  Place the injured part under slowly running water, or soak in cold water for 10 minutes or as long as pain persists.  Gently remove any rings, watches, belts, and shoes from the injured area before it starts to swell.  Dress with clean, sterile, non fluffy material.  Don't use adhesive dressings.  Don't apply lotions, ointments or fat to burn/ scald.  Don't break blisters or otherwise interfere.  If in doubt, seek medical aid.

Chemical Burns Treatment:  Flood the area with slowly running water for at least ten minutes.  Gently remove contaminated clothing while flooding injured area, taking care not to contaminate yourself.  Continue treatment for SEVERE BURNS  Remove to hospital.

Fractures & Dislocations Must treat for bleeding first Do not push bones back into place Don’t straighten break Treat the way you found it

IF A DISLOCATION IS SUSPECTED Apply a splint to the joint to keep it from moving. 2. Try to keep joint elevated to slow bloodflow to the area 3. A doctor should be contacted to have the bone set back into its socket. The most common dislocations occur in the shoulder, elbow, finger, or thumb. Dislocations LOOK FOR THESE SIGNS: 1. swelling 2. deformed look 3. pain and tenderness 4. possible discoloration of the affected area

Splints Must be a straight line break Can be formed to shape of deformity Be careful of temperature change

PROPER CARE: 1. While waiting on help to arrive, keep the victim lying down in the recovery position 2. Control any bleeding, and be sure that he is breathing properly. 3. Do not give the victim any liquids to drink. 4. If the victim becomes unconscious for any amount of time, keep track of this information so that you can report it when medical help arrives.position HeadInjuries Head Injuries A sharp blow to the head could result in a concussion, a jostling of the brain inside its protective, bony covering. A more serious head injury may result in contusions, or bruises to the brain. OTHER SYMPTOMS TO LOOK FOR IF YOU SUSPECT A VICTIM MAY HAVE A BRAIN INJURY: 1. clear or reddish fluid draining from the ears, nose, or mouth 2. difficulty in speaking 3. headache 4. unequal size of pupils 5. pale skin 6. paralysis of an arm or leg (opposite side of the injury) or face (same side of the injury)

Neck & Spinal Injuries CARE AND TREATMENT  ABC  extreme care in initial examination — minimal movement  urgent ambulance transport  apply cervical collar  treat for shock  treat any other injuries  maintain body heat  if movement required, 'log roll' and use assistants  always maintain casualty's head in line with the shoulders

Lifting techniques Two person carry Lift & roll Lift & roll 4 person straddle 4 person straddle
