1. Visual 3.1 Unit Objectives 1. Identify the “killers.” 2. Apply techniques for opening airways, controlling bleeding, and treating for shock. 3. Conduct triage under simulated disaster conditions.

2. Visual 3.2 Treatment of Life-Threatening Conditions The “Killers”:  Airway obstruction  Excessive bleeding  Shock

3. Visual 3.3 Treatment of Life-Threatening Conditions Components of a respiratory system:  Lung  Bronchus  Larynx  Pharynx  Nasal Air Passage  Trachea

4. Visual 3.4 Maintain Airway! Tongue UNCONSCIOUS Obstructed Airway

5. Visual 3.5 Look, Listen & Feel  Step 1 – shake & shout  Step 2 – no response, begin procedure  Step 3 – start head tilt, chin lift  Step 4 – Look for chest to rise  Step 5 – Listen for air exchange  Step 6 – Feel for abdominal movement Head Tilt Chin Lift Method

6. Visual 3.6 Control Bleeding  Arterial  Venous  Capillary

7. Visual 3.7 3 Methods  Direct Local Pressure  Elevation  Pressure Points

8. Visual 3.8 Direct Local Pressure

9. Visual 3.9 Dressing & Bandaging  Sterile dressing directly over the wound.

10. Visual 3.10 Dressing & Bandaging cont.  Clean bandage over the sterile dressing covering as much of the dressing as possible.

11. Visual 3.11 Pressure Dressing WaddingBandage over wadding

12. Visual 3.12 Pressure Points Brachial Femoral

13. Visual 3.13 In a disaster environment  Where can one find sterile materials for dressings?  Where can you find clean bandages?

14. Visual 3.14 Treatment Of Shock Conditions Sign Breathing Skin Consciousness Symptom Rapid, shallow Cold, pale Anxious/Apathetic; unconscious/comatose Test Greater than 30 per minute Capillary refill Response to simple commands

15. Visual 3.15 Treating for Shock  Step 1 – Lay victim on back if possible. Raise feet 6” to 10 “  Step 2 – Control Bleeding  Step 3 – Maintain Body Temperature  Step 4 – Avoid rough or excessive handling

16. Visual 3.16 Treating for Shock Raise Feet Cover Victim

17. Visual 3.17 Triage  Immediate (I)  Delayed (D)  Dead (DEAD)

18. Visual 3.18 Triage Pitfalls  No team plan, organization, or goal  Indecisive leadership  To much focus on one injury  Treatment (rather than triage) performed
