MANAGEMENT
OPEN THE AIRWAY
● Place one hand on the forehead and gently
tilt the head back.
● Remove any obvious obstructions from the
victim’s mouth, including dislodged
dentures, but leave well-fitting dentures in
place.
● Place the fingertips of two fingers under the
point of the victim’s chin and lift the chin. If
injury to the neck is suspected, handle the
head very gently and try to avoid tilting the
head too much.
● For a baby, use only one finger to lift the
chin and take particular care not to over tilt
the head.
CHECK FOR BREATHING
Once the airway is open, the next priority is to
check whether or not the person is breathing. Keep
the airway open with one hand on the forehead and
one hand lifting the chin. Put your cheek to the
victim’s face and look down the chest.
● LOOK for the movement of the chest and
stomach.
● LISTEN for breath sounds.
● FEEL for breathing on the side of your face.
● If the victim is breathing, turn into the
recovery position.
● If the victim is not breathing
● Call for emergency help.
● If you have not already done so, make sure
that an ambulance has been called.
● Start resuscitation.
ABC RESUSCITATION
Airway Ensure a clear airway. Breathing Check
breathing and provide rescue breathing to the
non-breathing person. Circulation Check that the
person has a good circulation and help them if their
circulation has stopped or is damaged.

III. HOW TO TREAT NOSEBLEEDS
Nosebleeds are very common among
children and many start spontaneously.
Unless they are a direct result of an impact
to the nose, the cause may not be known.
Simple treatment whereby the blood is
encouraged to clot is usually effective. The
priority is to protect the victim’s airway and
to try and prevent blood from being
swallowed.
1. Lean the child forward and encourage her
to spit blood into a handkerchief or some
other receptacle.
2. Pinch the child’s nose just below the hard
part at its top to and apply firm pressure for
10 minutes (this is the amount of time it
takes for a clot to form). If the bleeding has
not stopped after 10 minutes, apply pressure
for two further periods of 10 minutes. If
bleeding continues then take the child to
hospital.
3. Once the bleeding has stopped, advice the
child not to scratch, pick, or blow her nose,
not to drink hot liquid, and not to exert
herself, because all these activities can
dislodge the clot and cause the bleeding to
start again.
