Perform First Aid to Prevent or Control Shock AWT 081-831-1005 CW2 R. Mandell

Condition: You see a casualty who is breathing, and has one or more symptoms of shock. You will need a field jacket and blanket or poncho. Standards: Attempt to pervent a casualty from going into shock by correctly positioning the casualty, loosening binding clothes, calming and reassuring the casualty, and providing shade from direct sunlight during hot weather, or covering to prevent body heat loss during cold weather. Do not cause further injury to the casualty.

INTRODUCTION There are several causes of shock. On the battlefield, hypovolemic (low blood volume) shock will be the primary type of shock present. If not properly treated, shock can result in death. Hypovolemic shock is usually caused by severe bleeding, but it can also be caused by a severe loss of body fluids from severe burns, vomiting, or diarrhea and from excessive sweating caused by a heat injury (heat exhaustion).

Performance Step #1 Check for Signs and Symptoms of Shock: 1. Sweaty but cool skin 2. Paleness of skin 3. Restlessness, nervousness 4. Thirsty 5. Severe bleeding

Signs and Symptoms of Shock (Continued) 6. Confusion (does not seem to be aware of surroundings) 7. Rapid breathing 8. Blotchy or bluish skin (especially around the mouth) 9. Nausea 10. Vomiting

Performance Step #2 Position the Casualty: a. Move the casualty to cover, if cover is available and the situation permits. b. Lay the casualty on his/her back unless a sitting position will allow the casualty to breath easier. c. Elevate the casualty’s feet higher than the heart using a stable object so the feet will not fall. WARNING: If the casualty has an unsplinted fractured or broken leg, an abdominal wound, or a head wound, do not elevate the casualty’s legs.
