3. Immediate Responses Priorities – Are you safe? Are they safe?
Start to assess the casualty (SALTAPS)
- Do they need Resuscitation?
- Are they in Shock?
- Are they Bleeding?
- Any Fractures?
- Are they an Unconscious casualty?
Summon assistance – First Aider, 999
Start to prevent infection (First Aid Box)

4. First Aid Box – Common contents

7. SALTAPS- for injury assessment
See Stop and observe the injury
Ask Ask questions about the injury
Look Look for specific signs e.g. swelling
Touch - Touch to identify painful areas
Active - Active movement- can they move injured part without assistance?
Passive - Passive movement- can you move the part through full range of movement?
Strength- Strength testing- can the injured person put pressure/ weight on the injury
** NOTE- Use needs to be appropriate to the injury and you should** stop treatment at the appropriate stage!!!!

8. PRICED (the treatment formerly known as RICE for acute injuries)
Protection – Protect the person and injured part
Rest – rest promotes healing & prevents
further damage
Ice – ice reduces swelling
Compression – compression acts to support & reduce
swelling
Elevation – elevation reduces blood flow and
swelling to the area with the help of
gravity
Diagnosis - needs to be done by a professional

9. Heat Treatments This dilates blood vessels
By dilating the blood vessels, more blood goes to the injured area
This absorbs swelling and dead cells
Encourage growth of new vessels
Not to be used on an open wound

10. Support Mechanisms Taping – limits unwanted movement
Tubi-grip – limits unwanted movement
Bandaging – increase joint stability
Limb support – increase stability

11. Cold Applications
Cold compress – these are so that the blood vessels constrict, causing a reduction in the flow of blood to the injured area.
This is to reduce swelling and also the pain felt by stopping the nerve endings from conducting impulses
It is best used directly after an injury but also for hours afterwards.

12. Cold Application Cold Burning Aching Numb
This is the feelings that the skin will go through during cold treatments. Once stage 4 is reached the application should be stopped.
Ice should never be applied directly to the skin!!

PRICED

16. EXAMPLE : Fractured Tibia.
Ring 999 for emergency help
Prevent – excessive swelling. Keep footwear on for now.
Protect – remove the person from the pitch or situation. If this is not possible halt the game immediately.
