Chapter 12: Injuries to the Extremities

Immobilizing Injuries The purposes of immobilizing an injury are to— Lessen pain. Prevent further damage to soft tissues. Reduce the risk of serious bleeding. Reduce the possibility of loss of circulation to the injured part. Prevent closed fractures from becoming open fractures. To immobilize an extremity injury you can use a splint. There are three types of splints: Soft Rigid Anatomic AMERICAN RED CROSS FIRST AID–RESPONDING TO EMERGENCIES FOURTH EDITION Copyright © 2005 by The American National Red Cross All rights reserved.

General Care to Splint Splint only if you have to move the injured person. Support the injured part in the position in which you find it. Cover any open wounds with a dressing and bandage. Check the area below the injury site for feeling, warmth and color. Apply the splint to immobilize the joints or bones above and below the injured area. Secure the splint in place. Recheck below the injury site for feeling, warmth and color. Elevate the splinted part.

General Care to Splint (continued) After the injury is immobilized, apply ice or a cold pack. Help the victim rest in the most comfortable position. Monitor the victim’s— Level of consciousness. Breathing. Skin color. Temperature. Take steps to minimize shock.

Injuries to the Extremities Signals of a serious extremity injury include— Pain or tenderness. Swelling. Discoloration. Deformity of the limb. Inability to move or use the limb. Severe external bleeding. Loss of sensation, feeling or tingling. A limb that is cold to the touch.

Upper Extremity Injuries The upper extremities are the parts of the body from the shoulder to the fingers. The bones of the upper extremity include the— Collarbone (Clavicle). Shoulder blade (Scapula). Upper arm (Humerus). Forearm (Radius and ulna). Wrist (Carpals). Hand (Metacarpals). Fingers (Phalanges). AMERICAN RED CROSS FIRST AID–RESPONDING TO EMERGENCIES FOURTH EDITION Copyright © 2005 by The American National Red Cross All rights reserved.

Care for Upper Extremity Injuries Minimize any movement of the injured part. Control external bleeding with direct pressure. Check for feeling, warmth and color before and after applying a splint. Splint above and below the injury. Apply ice or a cold pack to the injured area. Take steps to minimize shock.

Lower Extremity Injuries The lower extremities are the part of the body from the hip (pelvis) to the toes. The bones of the lower extremity include the— Pelvic bones. Thigh bone (Femur). Kneecap (Patella). Lower leg (Tibia and Fibula). Ankle (Tarsals). Feet (Metatarsals). Toes (Phalanges). AMERICAN RED CROSS FIRST AID–RESPONDING TO EMERGENCIES FOURTH EDITION Copyright © 2005 by The American National Red Cross All rights reserved.

Care for Lower Extremity Injuries Support or immobilize the thigh in the position found. Control external bleeding with direct pressure. Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number immediately. While waiting for EMS personnel to arrive— Immobilize the injured area. Help the victim rest in the most comfortable position. AMERICAN RED CROSS FIRST AID–RESPONDING TO EMERGENCIES FOURTH EDITION Copyright © 2005 by The American National Red Cross All rights reserved.

Care for Lower Extremity Injuries (continued) If the victim’s extremity is supported by the ground, do not move it. Use rolled towels or blankets to support the leg in the position you found it. Take steps to minimize shock. Keep the person lying down and try to keep him or her calm. Keep the person from becoming chilled or overheated. Monitor breathing and level of consciousness. Note person’s skin color and temperature. AMERICAN RED CROSS FIRST AID–RESPONDING TO EMERGENCIES FOURTH EDITION Copyright © 2005 by The American National Red Cross All rights reserved.

Review You can care for musculoskeletal and soft tissue injuries to the extremities by giving care that focuses on minimizing— Pain. Shock. Further damage to the injured area. Immobilize the injured area, apply ice or a cold pack and take steps to minimize shock. Control any external bleeding. Reassure the victim. Care for any life-threatening conditions and call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number if necessary. Questions?
