First Aid Notes

Definitions First aid – primary care for a suddenly wounded or ill person or animal. Challenge definition – immediate, temporary care for an injured or ill person or animal

Definitions Continued First responder – the primary person to help in an emergency.

Avulsion Tissue is separated and torn from the body (heavy bleeding occurs)

Treatment for Avulsion Call 911 Wrap torn body part in cloth, then in plastic Put it on ice Put body part in a cooler Use direct pressure Use pressure points Use tourniquet (last resort)

Steps for Rescue Breathing Step 1 Check for breathing. To do this tilt the head back and put your ear to the victims mouth, your face should be pointing down the victims body. Step 2. Do two rescue breaths into the barrier each lasting about 1 second. If too much air is forced into the lungs it will go into the stomach and cause the victim to throw up. This is normal and resume operations. When the victim throws up turn him on his side and let vomit come out and clean the mouth out with your finger to prevent choking later.

Steps for Rescue Breathing Continued Step 3. If the chest does not clearly rise during the 2 rescue breaths tilt the head back further and do 2 more breaths. If the chest still doesn't rise the victim is choking and unconscious choking steps will need to be followed. X24/ Continue to page 3 if the chest rises. X24/

Burns First Degree – affects only the outer layer of skin (epidermis). Skin is usually red. May be swelling and pain. Second Degree – burns through 1 st layer of skin and burns 2 nd layers of skin.

Treatment for Shock Shock is a life threatening condition in which the circulatory system fails to deliver enough blood to vital tissues and organs. Call for medical help Have victim lie down on his/her back with feet raised slightly higher than the head. Loosen tight clothing Use a blanket, coat or any available cover to help keep person warm Do not give the person anything to drink Roll the person onto his/her side to prevent choking in the event of vomiting or bleeding from mouth.
