Presentation transcript:

Skill Unit: Wilderness First Aid

Skills 12/17: Breaks & Sprains II: Legs

Learning Intention: To practise how to recognise and treat a broken or sprained leg or ankle

Success Criteria: By the end of this session everyone should be able to: State two priorities when treating a break or sprain; Use a splint or improvised dressing to treat a break or sprain to a leg or ankle

Activities: 1.Presentation/Discussion (10) 2.Demonstration (5) 3.Practical (20) 4.Review Success Criteria (5)

Tayside Mountain Rescue says...  The most common type of injuries (resulting in a call-out) are lower leg fractures caused by a simple slip

Possible Symptoms Pain Swelling Bruising Difficulty moving the injured limb Deformation of the injured limb (dislocations & some breaks)

Treatment R- Rest the injured limb I- Apply ice (cold compress or ice-pack) C- Compress the injury E- Elevate the injured limb

But what if… The casualty needs to be moved? The casualty cannot walk?

Complications Limb deformation may cause loss of circulation: check for numbness or blueness in toes. If more than an hour from medical attention, consider straightening limb by pulling firmly downwards, then setting with a splint (contact your supervisor first!)
