What is First Aid?
The treatment given for any injury, or sudden illness before the arrival of an ambulance, doctor or any other qualified person.

Aims of First Aid
* To Preserve life
* To Prevent the condition getting worse
* To Promote recovery

First Aid Provider
* Recognize, assess, and prioritize the need for first
aid
* Provide appropriate first aid care
* Recognize limitations, and seek professional medical assistance when necessary

CONTROL OF BLEEDING
¢ Apply Direct Pressure
Using a clean pad, apply pressure directly on point of bleeding. Use just gloved hand if pad is not available,
If the bleeding doesn't stop. Apply second pad, leave in place until the bleeding stops.
* If Bleeding ts Controlled
Consider a pressure bandage, Wrap a conforming bandage around limb and over dressings to provide continuous pressure.
Avoid wrapping so tight that skin beyond bandage become cool to touch or blue in color.

PULMONARY
RESUCITATION

What is Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation?
(CPR) is a lifesaving technique that's useful in many emergencies, such as a heart attack or near drowning, in which someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Parameters of High Performance CPR
BLS ASSESSMENT Scene Safety & Assessment
1. Push hard at a correct depth 2. Push fast at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute. 3. Allow full chest recoil. 4. Minimize interruptions to less than 10secs.
5. Avoid excessive ventilation.
Check scene safety “Scene is safe”
Check for responsiveness
“Hey are you okay?”
“Activate emergency response protocol and get an AED.”
Check for breathing for 5 to 10 sec,

HOW TO PERFORM CPR FOR INFANTS (NEWBORN TO 1 YEAR)
A s elias

What is an Automated External Defibrillator?
(AED)is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It's a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, medical device that can analyze the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.

Usage of AED — Automated External Defibrillator
Turn on the AED Follow the prompts Apply the pads to the patient’s bare chest. Plug in the connector. Analyzing heart rhythm. “Clear” Shock is advised. Charging. (Resume HPCPR) Stay clear of the pt. Deliver shock now. “ Clear! Shocking on 3.1,2,3.” Resume HPCPR

TAKE NOTES!
Recognizing an Emergency — priority is personal safety Deciding to Help — if safe, take action Implied Consent — unresponsivement, need additional help “When in doubt, don’t drink medication.”

For infant:

Control bleeding
1. Pressure injured part with clean absorbent pads and wrap roller gauze 1. First Aid kit 2. Call EMS
Note:
¥ If pressure cannot control use TORNIQUETS ¥ TORNIQUETS — help control bleeding
Once a tourniquet is applied, it is not to be removed , only by a doctor

Absolute last resort in controlling bleeding. Remember
Life over limb

HOW TO TREAT SEVERE BLEEDING

Shock
* Internal bleeding (sweating) * Call EMS * Adequate clear breathing * Maintain body temperature * Keep calm

Treatments:
Treatments: * Halt the burning process * Relieve the swelling * Relieve the pain ¢ Wash with water * Minimize risk of infection * Seek medical advice
¢ Wash with water
* Minimize risk of infection
* Seek medical advice

Treatment:
eFlood the area with slowly running water for at least ten minutes.
eGently remove contaminated clothing while flooding injured area, taking care not to contaminate yourself.
eContinue treatment for SEVERE BURNS
eSeek medical advice

Do not push bones back into place

DISLOCATIONS
The most common dislocations occur in the shoulder, elbow, finger, or thumb.

LOOK FOR THESE SIGNS:
1. swelling
2. deformed look
3. pain and tenderness
4. possible discoloration of the affected area
IF A DISLOCATION IS SUSPECTED...
1. Apply a splint to the joint to keep it from moving.
2. Try to keep joint elevated to slow bloodflow to the area
