Augustana College Biology Department Assistant Training Emergency Response

The treatment of serious medical emergencies is best left to professionals Determine if it is a serious medical emergency Survey the scene to make sure there is no further danger DO NOT move the victim unless necessary to remove them from danger Call 911 (9-911 in GSC)

What is a serious medical emergency? Respiratory/Cardiac arrest Unconscious / seizures Breathing difficulties Chest pain Abdominal pain Significant bleeding Vomiting or passing blood Injury to extremities, head, neck or back Significant burns

How do I know if someone is unconscious? No or slow response to verbal commands No or inappropriate response to stimuli Eye response “not right”

How do I know if someone is having trouble breathing? Look Listen Feel Skin color

What is “significant” bleeding? Bleeding in “spurts” Quickly soaks through a trauma dressing Estimated blood loss >50 ml Control bleeding by direct pressure on the wound

How do I tell if there are possible broken bones? X-ray is the only sure means of diagnosis Bone exposed Check symmetry Assume fracture for head, back or neck injuries

What is a “significant” burn? Electrical burns Chemical burns Thermal burns to the face and eyes Full circumference thermal burns on arms & legs Thermal burns of entire hand, foot or digit Thermal burns of large surface area >9% Body Surface Area Charred, white or pain free thermal burns

Treating minor thermal burns Cold running water is the best treatment for minor thermal burns Cools the burn Relieves pain Removes contaminants DO NOT use ointments or sprays NO ICE

When should I intervene? To keep open the airway Rescue breathing/CPR Control serious bleeding Move from danger Help manage chemical spills

First aid kits are for emergencies CPR mask Trauma dressings Gauze pads “Kling”/ “Kerlix” Tape Latex gloves Scissors

Band-aids are also found in first aid kits For small cuts and lacerations Antibiotic ointment available Self application if possible Use latex gloves if assisting in application
