The 3 objectives of first aid |
Prevent further injury, Infection, The loss of life |
|
The fundamental elements of first aid (8) |
Bleeding Burns Fractures Electric shock Obstructed airways Heat related injuries Cold weather injuries Shock |
|
4 methods of controlling bleeding |
Direct pressure Elevation Pressure points Tourniquet (last resort) |
|
Pressure point |
A point on the body where a main artery lies near the skin surface and over a bone |
|
11 principal pressure points |
Temple Jaw Neck Collar bone Inner upper arm Inner elbow Wrist Upper thigh Groin Knee Ankle |
|
3 classifications of burns |
1st-redness, warmth, mild pain 2nd-red blistered skin, severe pain 3rd-destroys tissue, pain may be absent due to nerve endings being destroyed |
|
Fractures types |
Closed/simple-broken bone without break in the skin Open/compound-break in skin possible bone protrusion |
|
Electric shock |
When you come into contact with an electric energy source |
|
Indication of Obstructed airways |
Inability to talk, grasping and pointing to throat, exaggerated breathing efforts, skin turning blue |
|
Two types of heat related injuries |
Heat exhaustion Heat stroke |
|
Heat exhaustion |
Disturbance of blood flow to the brain, heart, lungs. Skin is cool, moist, clammy Pupils dilated Sweating profusely |
|
Heat stroke |
Caused by breakdown of the sweating mechanism of the body Hot/dry skin Uneven pupil dilation Weak rapid pulse |
|
Cold weather injuries (3) |
Hypothermia Superficial frostbite Deep frostbite |
|
Hypothermia |
Cooling of the body caused by low or rapidly falling temperature, cold moisture, snow or ice. Victim may appear pale and unconscious. May even look dead. Breathing is slow and shallow, pulse faint. Arms and legs=stiff |
|
