1. BASIC LIFE FUNCTIONS 1. Basic life functions a) Consciousness b) Respiration c) Circulation 3

2. LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS 2.1TYPES OF INJURIES a) Obstruction of the airways b) Chest injury c) Abdominal injury d) Limb injury e) Head injury f) Spine injury 2.2PRINCIPLE C-ABC C – Catastrophic Hemorrhage Control A – Airway B – Breathing C – Circulation The principle of C-ABC is detect and treat life-threatening conditions due to logical steps 4

2. LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS 2.3 HAEMORRHAGE is a disease condition in which blood escapes from blood vessels due to a breach of vascular wall the volume of blood in the body is 5-6 litres the body can cope with a 10% blood loss sudden loss of one third of blood leads to the expansion of shock Types of bleeding: a. internal b. external 5
6
2. LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS a. Internal bleeding: pain and sensitivity in the area of injury reduce of blood pressure rapid breathing sudden paleness, tiredness, sleepiness, poorly palpable pulse edema symptoms of shock hematoma, peripherals are cold and sweaty First-aid of internal bleeding: principle CABC antishock measures – 5T professional medical examination 6

2. LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS b. External bleeding venous – slowly flowing dark red blood arterial – splashes of bright red blood capillary mixed Stop venous bleeding: Seat or lay a patient Attach a pressure bandage made of three layers (sterile, pressure, and fuser) If bandage leak, attach another layer and do not remove the original. Could be max 3 layers. If we do not have pressure bandage, we can press our fingers into the wound through a piece of cloth Lift the injured limb above the heart (elevation) It is advisable to use protective gloves 7

2. LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS Stop arterial bleeding: Use pressure bandage Or press fingers into the wound through a piece of cloth Use tourniquet at pressure point Lift the injured limb above the heart PRESSURE POINTS: groin, temple, neck, leg, arm,…. 8

2. LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS Use tourniquet: traumatic amputation of a massive haemorrhage limb arterial bleeding effusion of 3 layers of pressure bandage Principle of usage: write on the forehead “T” and time do not use on the joint put on the clothes ONLY tourniquet width at least 5 cm immobilize and cool the limb do not remove the tourniquet, but it is possible to slacken it and use pressure bandage attach to the upper third of the limbs 9

2. LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS 2.4OBSTRUCTION OF THE AIRWAYS Procedures for identifying respiratory arrest seeing the movement of the chest hearing exhaled air, gasping feeling exhaled air on my face putting the hand on the chest and feeling the movements 10

2. LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS How to clear airways: give back blows Heimlich maneuver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CgtIgSyAiUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CgtIgSyAiU patient has to lay on his back cleaning the oral cavity head-tilt and chin-lift or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxfY-f7EV8Mhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxfY-f7EV8M jaw-thrust maneuver = Esmarch maneuver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpvjdj1Gwbohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpvjdj1Gwbo the sharp artificial breath external heart massage 11

2. LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS Artificial breathing: mouth-to-mouth respiration mouth-to-nose respiration Both of them for infants Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) operations to ensure the recovery of vital functions ( respiration, circulation, consciousness) sudden cardiac arrest leading to unconsciousness during 10 seconds and the extinction of breathing activity in 30-60s CPR execute only if the patient is unconscious, not breathing and without pulse 12
13
2. LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS Procedure of CPR 30 compressions and 2 breaths compression depth is 4-5 cm the pressure point is in the middle of the chest after successful resuscitation, we put the wounded in the recovery position check the injured every 3 to 5 min CPR by kids: infant 3 compressions and 1 breath (before these compressions 5 breaths) frequency 100-120/min 13
14
2. LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS PNEUMOTHORAX open closed (can lead to tension pneumothorax) Main symptoms of open pneumothorax: wounded coughs the blood frothy blood flowing from the wound feeling of suffocation and pain Cyanosis 14

2. LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS First-aid: cut open the clothes try to find the hole in the chest wall do not remove the cloth from the wound do not clean the wound or remove any things from the wound put the hand on the wound as soon as possible put clean cover on the wound apply the cover during the exhalation the cover have to exceed the wound by 5cm it is necessary to oversee the wounded due to a risk of tension pneumothorax position of wounded: - conscious -> semi-sitting position - unconsciousness -> recovery position 16
