FIRST AID

Is the immediate care given to a person who has been injured or suddenly taken ill. It include self-help and
home care if medical assistance is not available or is delayed.

Role and Responsibilities of First Aider

1. Bridge that fills the gap between the victim and the physician
2. Ensure personal safety and that of patient /bystanders
3. Gain access to the victim
4. Determine any threats to the patient’s life
5. Summon more advanced medical care as needed.
6. Provide needed care for the patient

Need and value of first aid

1. To minimize if not totally prevent, accident
2. To prevent added injury or danger
3. To train people to do the right thing at the right time
4. Accidents happen and sudden illness are common and often serious
5. People very often harm rather than help
6. Proper and immediate care is necessary to save life or limb

Characteristics of a good first aider

Transmission of the diseases

1. How diseases transmitted

a. Direct contact transmission when a person touches an infected persons body fluids
b. Indirect contact transmission when a person touches objects that have been contaminated by the blood
or another body fluid of an infected person
c. Airborne transmission when a person inhales infected droplets that have become airborne as an person
cough or sneezes
d. Vector transmission when an animal such as a dog or an insect as tick, transmit a pathogen into body
through a bite

2. Body substance isolation BSI

Precautions are taken to isolate or prevent risk of exposure from any other type of bodily substance
Precautions and practices are as follows:

Kinds of bleeding

1. Capillary- this type of bleeding ex expected in all minor cuts, scratches and abrasion
2. Venous- characterized by an even flow of blood
3. Arterial- characterized by an irregular spurting of blood

First Aid Management

Wound with severe bleeding

1. Control bleeding
a. Direct pressure- with the use of a compress is applied directly over the wound
b. Elevation- raise the bleeding part above level of victim’s hear if you don’t suspect a broken bone and if
elevating the injury doesn’t cause the victim more pain
c. pressure point bleeding control- compress the major artery that supplies the blood to the injured area

2. Cover the wound

3. Care of shock
4. Consult or refer to physician

Wound with bleeding not severe

-Clean the wound with soap water
-Apply mild antiseptics
-Cover wound with dressing and bandage

Burns - is an injury involving the skin including muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels.
- Results from heat. Chemicals, electricity or solar or other forms of radiation
Common Causes
1. Carelessness with match and cigarette smoking
2. Scald from hot liquid
3. Defective heating cooking and electrical equipment
4. Immersion in overheated bath water
5. Use of such chemical, as strong acids and strong detergents
Factors Determine the Seriousness of Burns
1. Depth
a. Superficial (First Degree) involve only the top layer of the skin the epidermis
b. Partial (Second –degree) involve the epidermis and some portion of the dermis
c. Full thickness (Third-degree) extend through all skin layer and involve subcutaneous
2. Location of the burn
a. Hands
b. Feet
c. Face
d. Chest
e. Genitals
3. Victim’s age and medical condition

Types of Burn Injuries

1. Thermal Burns- contact with hot objects, flammable vapor that ignites and causes a flash or an
explosion, and steam or hot liquids

Care for thermal burns

1. Relieve pain by immersing the burned area in cold water or by applying a wet clod cloth
2. Cover the burn with a dry, nonsticking sterile dressing or clean cloth

Care for third degree burns

1. Cover the burn with a dry, nonsticking sterile dressing or clean cloth
2. Treat the victim of shock

Care for Scald Burn

1. Cover with a cool, moist, sterile dressing and transport the patient to the nearest hospital
2. Do not apply ointment, grease or butter

2. Chemical Burns-a wide range agents is capable of causing tissue damage and death on contact with
the skin

Care for chemical burns

1. Immediately remove the chemical by flushing with water. Brush dry powder chemicals from the skin,
before flushing, unless large amount of water are immediately available.
2. Remove the victim’s contaminated clothing while flushing with the water
3. Flush for 20 mins or longer. Let water wash with a mild soap before a final rinse.
4. Cover the burned area with a dry dressing or for large areas a clean pillowcase
5. If the chemical is in the eye, flood it for at least 20 mins using low pressure
6. Seek medical attention immediately for all chemical burns

3. Electrical Burns- the injury severity from exposure to electrical current depends on the type of current
the (direct or alternating current) voltage, the area of the body exposed and the duration of contact

Care for electrical burns

1. Make sure the area is safe. Unplug disconnect or turn off the power. If that is impossible, call the
Power Company or ask for help
2. Check the ABC
3. If the victim fell check for spine injury
4. Treat the victim for shock by elevating the legs 8-12 inches and prevent heat loss by covering the
victim with coat or blanket
5. Seek medical attention immediately. Electrical injuries are treated in burn center

Specific Body Injuries

Care of Eye Injuries
1. Blows to the eye
- Apply an ice pack immediately for about 15 mins to reduce pain and swelling.
-Do not exert pressure on the eye
-Seek medical attention immediately in cases of pain reduced vision or discoloration (a back aye)

2. Chemical Burn
- Use your finger to keep the eye open as wide as possible
- Flush the eye with water immediately. Hold the victim’s head under a faucet or pour water into the
eye from any clean container for at least 20 mins continuously and gently
Tell the victim to roll eyeball as much as possible to help wash out the eye
-Loosely bandage both eyes with cold wet dressings
-Seek medical attention

3. Eye knocked out

- Cover the eye loosely with sterile dressing that has been moistened with clean water. Do not try
push the eyeball back into the socket
-Protect the injured eye with a paper cup, cardboard folded into a cone or a doughnut-shaped cravat
bandage
-Cover the undamaged eye with a patch to stop movement of the damaged eye
-Seek medical attention

4. Foreign Object
- Try flushing the object out by rinsing the eye gently with warm water
-Examine the lower lid by pulling it down gently. If you can see the object, remove it with a
moistened gauze or clean cloth
-Many foreign bodies lodge under the upper eyelid

Care for impaled objects

Is an object that is embedded in an open wound. Is should never e remove in the flied unless it is
through the patient’s cheek or it interferes with airway management or CPR.
1. Do not remove or moved an impaled object. Movement of any kind could produce additional
bleeding and tissue damage
2. Expose the area. Remove or cut away any clothing surrounding the injury
3. Control any bleeding with direct pressure
4. Stabilize the object. Secure a bulky dressing or clean cloth around the object
5. Shorten the object only if necessary. In most cases do not shorten the object by cutting or breaking
it
6. When cutting off or shortening the object allows for easier transportation. Be sure to stabilize the
object shortening it.

Care for amputations

1. Control the bleeding with direct pressure and elevate the extremity. Apply dry dressing or bulky
cloths
2. Treat the victim shock
3. Recover the amputated part and whenever possible take it with the victim
4. To care for amputated body part
- If possible rinse it with clean water remove any debris; do not scrub. The amputated portion does
not need to be cleaned
- Wrap the amputated part with a dry a gauze or clean cloth
-Put the wrapped amputated part in a plastic bag or water proof container
-Place the bag or container with the wrapped part on a bed of ice
5. Seek medical attention immediately

Care for sucking chest

 1. Have the victim take a breath and let it out; then seal the wound with anything available to stop air
from entering the chest cavity. Plastic wrap or plastic bag works well. Tape it in place with one
corner untapped.
2. If the victim has a trouble breathing or seems to be getting worse, remove the plastic cover to let
air escape, then reapply
3. Seek medical attention

Care for Abdominal Injuries

1. Cover protruding organ with dressing or clean cloth
2. Pour drinkable water on the dressing to keep the organ from drying out
3. Seek medical attention

Dressing and Bandages

Guidelines in using dressing bandages
1. Use dressing that is large enough to extend at least 1 beyond the edge of the edged of the wound
2. If the body tissue or organ expose, cover the wound with the dressing that will not stick, such as
plastic wrap or moistened gauze. Then secure the dressing with the bandages or adhesive tape
3. If the bandages is over a joint, splint and makes the bulky dressing so that the joint remains
immobilized
4. A bandages should fit snugly but should not cut off circulation or cause the victim discomfort
5. Bandages techniques depends upon:
Size and location of the wound
Your first aid skills
Materials at hand

Bandaging Techniques
1. Triangular bandage
 Open Phase
Head; topside
Face; back of the head
Chest; back of the chest
Hand; foot
 Cravat Phase

 Figure of eight
 Recurrent with spinal turns

Shock- is a depressed condition of many body vital functions due of enough blood to circulate throughout
the body following serious injuries
Basic Cause of Shock
1. Pump failure The heart does not generate enough energy to moved the blood trough the system
2. Hypovolemia Blood or fluid loss from blood vessels decrease blood volume usually result of bleeding and
result in adequate perfusion
3. Blood vessels dilate The blood vessels can dilate enough that the blood within them, even through it is
normal volume is in adequate to fill the system and provide efficient perfusion

Causes
1. Severe bleeding 6. Anaphylaxis
2. Crashing injury 7. Shell bomb and bullet wound
3. Infection 8. Rupture of tubal pregnancies
4. Heart attack
5. Perforations

Factors which contribute shock

1. Pain
2. Rough handling
3. Improper transfer
4. Continuous bleeding
5. Exposure to extreme cold water
6. Fatigue

Danger of Shock
1. Lead to death
2. Predisposes body to infections
3. Leads to loss of the body parts

Kinds of Shock
1. Cardiogenic Shock The victim is in a shock as result of a heart attack
2. Anaphylactic Shock Develop when an individual comes in contact with a foreign proteins substance
know as allergen which has becomes sensitive
3. Hypovolemic Shock Commonly a result of fluid or blood loss, also result fro severe thermal burns
4. Psychogenic Shock or Fainting The result is temporary deduction of blood supply to the brain
because the blood momentarily pools in the dilated vessels in the other parts of the body
5. Neurogenic Shock Accompanies spinal cord injury is best treated by a combination of all know
supported measures
6. Metabolic Shock The result of an illness that has been present for a long time or has been extremely
over the brief period
7. Respiratory Shock The proper emergency management of shock as a result of inadequate respiration
involves the immediate securing and maintaining of an airway
8. Septic Shock some patients who have severe bacterial infection, toxins (poison) can be penetrated by
the bacteria of by infected body tissue

Poison Any substance solid, liquid or gas that tends to impair health or causes death when introduced into
the body or onto he skin surface

Causes
Common in suicide attempts
Occasional accidental poisoning

Ways in which poisoning may occur:

1. Ingestion That is introduced into the digestive tract by way of the mouth
2. Inhaled Poisons A poison breathed into the lungs
3. Injected Poisons A poisons that enters the body through a bite or syringe
4. Absorb Poisons A poison that enters the body through the skin

General Care for Poisoning

1. Survey the scene to makes it safe to approach and gathered clues about what happens
2. Remove the victim from the source of the poisons
 3. Do a primary survey to assist the victim ABCs
4. Care for any life threatening condition
5. If the victim conscious, do secondary survey to gather additional information
6. Contact hospitals with or without poison center and or summon more advanced medical personnel
7. Do not give victim anything by mouth unless advice by medical professional

Emergency Rescue
Is a rapid movement of patient from unsafe place to place of safety

Indication for emergency rescue

1. Danger of fire or explosion
2. Danger of toxic gases or asphyxia due lack of oxygen
3. Serious traffic hazard
4. Risk of drowning
5. Danger of electrocution
6. Danger of collapsing walls

Transfer Moving a patient from one place to another after giving first aid

1. The first aider may need to initiate of the patient to shelter, home or medical aid. Skill in the use of
simple technique of transfer must be practiced and selection and use of correct method is necessary.
1. Nature and severity of the injury
2. Size of the victim
3. Physical capabilities of the first aider
4. Number of personnel and equipment available
5. Nature of evacuation route
6. Distance to be covered
7. Sex of the victim (last consideration)
2. Pointers to be observe during transfer
1. Victim’s survey must be maintained open
2. Hemorrhage is controlled
3.Vicitm is safely maintain in the correct position
4. Regular check of the victim’s condition is made
5. Supporting bandages and dressing remain effectively applied
6. The method of transfer is safe, comfortable and as speedy as circumstances permit
7. The patients body is moved as one unit
8. The taller first aiders stay at the head of the victim
9. First aider/bearers must observed ergonomics in lifting and moving of the patient
3. Methods of transfer
 One man assist/carries/drags
Assist to walk
Carry in arms (cradle)
Pack strap carry
Piggy back
Fireman’s carry
Fireman’s drag
Blanket drag
Armpit/shoulder drag

 Improvised stretcher using two poles with:
Blanket
Empty sacks
Shirts or coats
Triangular bandages

Triage the process use in sorting into categories of priority for care and transport base on the severity of
injuries and medical emergencies
1. The START (Simple triage and Rapid Treatment)is one method of triage that has proven to be
effective. Patients evaluation is based on three primary observation
 Respiration
 Perfusion
 Mental Status
 Under this system patients are tagged for easy recognition
2. Tagging of patient
 Priority one (red tag) immediate care life threatening
Airway and breathing difficulties
Cardiac arrest if sufficient personnel are available
In controlled or suspected severe bleeding
Severe head injury
Severe medical problems; poisoning, diabetic and cardiac emergencies
Open chest or abdominal wounds
shock
 Priority two (yellow tag) urgent care; can delay transport and treatment to one hour
Burns
Major or multiple fractures
Back injuries w/ or w/o spinal cord damage
 Priority three (green tag) delayed care; can delay transport and treatment to one hour
Previously mortal wounds where death appears reasonable certain
Obvious dead
 Priority four (black tag) no care required patients is dead

BONES JOINTS and MUSCLE INJURIES

Common Causes
1. Vehicular Accidents
2. Motor bike Accidents
3. Mishandling of tools and equipment
4. Falls
5. Sports

Signs and Symptoms

1. Pain
2. Bruising, discoloring
3. Swelling
4. Misshapen appearance and obvious deformity
5. Exposed bone
6. Pale, bluish skin, loss of pulse in injured limb
 7. Numbness furthers down the arm or leg

Bone, Joints and Muscle Injuries include the following

1. Muscle cramp – is the sudden painful tightening of a muscle
2. Muscle strain or pulled muscle – is the sudden muscle painful tearing of muscle fiber during
exertion.
3. Sprain - when a joints loosens this caused by torn fibers in a ligament
4. Joint may still function and usually does not appear misshapen unless all the fibers of a ligament are
torn
5. Dislocation and broken bones – joints dislocation can happen when bones come out of alignment

Splint – used to keep an injured body part from moving

General guidelines
 Always care for wounds before applying a splint
 Splint an injury in the position in which you found it. You will need strong support to make splint
 The splint must extend both above the injured area to keep it immobilized
 Secure the splint to uninjured parts of the body
 Make sure any knots are not pressing the injury, tie them securely but not so tight that circulation is
impaired
 Check pulse, motor and sensory (PMS) before and after splinting

Extrication – the removal of the victim from the difficult situation or position or removal of a patient from a
wrecked car or other place of entrapment

When to perform extrication

 Automobile or motorcycle accidents
 Train derailment
 Collapsed building
 Unconscious injured victim
 Emergency situation
- Cave in
- Fire
- Water accident
- Farm machine injury
- Gun shot wound
- Fall from height

Elements of Rescue
In work phase follows
L-Locate
A-Access
S-Stabilize
T-Transport

Principles of Extrication
 Evaluation (size up) the situation
 Locate all victims
 Provide for the safety of rescue personnel and the patients
 Secure the scene
 Gain access of the patient
 Provide emergency medical care (stabilize the patient)
 Disentangle the patient
 Prepare the patient for transfer
 Transfer the patient
 Spinal Injury Management

1. Situation when spinal injuries

2. Signs and symptoms of spinal injuries
3. Examination of spinal injury
4. Immobilization of spinal injury

Reminders on Spinal Immobilization

 Maintain and support an adequate airway and ventilation at all times
 Ensure and maintain in-line support with the entire spine throughout the entire splinting process
 Apply properly a correct cervical extrication collar as described earlier
 Secure the victim’s torso to the spinal extrication device before securing the head
 Avoid hypertension or hyperflexion of the neck when you secure the head
 Adequate padding should be placed bet the head and the device
 Secure all straps snugly to minimize motion
 Be certain that the patient’s mouth can be opened to clear the airway
 Secure the victim well to the spinal immobilization device with the head, torso and pelvis

Environmental Emergency

Cold Emergency
Hypothermia- exposure to extreme cold for a short or moderate cold for along time

1. Mild Hypothermia the patients will present with cold skin and shivering and will still be alert and oriented
2. Severe Hypothermia- patient may become unresponsive. This is true medical emergency that can lead to
death

Frostbite- Local cooling of distant parts of the body (nose, fingers and toes). Severe cooling causes
constriction of blood vessel compromising the blood supply that may cause tissue damage.

First Aid
 Remove the patient from cold environment
 Protect the area from further damage
 Re-warm the area by immersing in water just above normal body temperature
 Massage application of ice water , movement and extreme heat are contraindicated
 Cover the warmed extremity by sterile dressing and bring the patient to the nearest medical facility.

Heat Emergency
1. Heat Cramps a muscular pain and spam due to largely loss of salt from the body in sweating or to
inadequate in take of salt
2. Heat Exhaustion response to heat characterized by fatigue
3. Heat Stroke or Sunstroke a response to heat characterized by extremely high body temperature and
disturbance of sweating mechanism

Prevention of heart emergencies

1. Avoid exposure to direct rays of sun. Keep head covered
2. Wear proper clothing light colored clothing reflects rather than absorbs sunlight sweating cools only
as sweat evaporates, so wear loose clothing
3. Intake of mush water 12-15 glasses a day together with extra salt
4. Exposure to air currents from fans or open windows aids evaporation and cooling

Medical Emergencies
1. Stroke is a condition that occurs when a blood o to the brain is interrupted long enough to cause
damage
 2. Diabetes is a condition that affects the way the body uses food. It causes blood sugar level in the
blood to be high

Types of Diabetes:
 Insulin Shock- when to much insulin is in the body.
 Diabetic Coma- happen when there is too much sugar and too little insulin in the blood and the body
cells do not get enough nourishment

3. Seizures – sudden voluntary muscle contraction usually due to uncontrolled electrical activity on the
brain.
 Febrile Seizures a high temperature does not necessary mean the victim is seriously ill.

Human Body
Anatomical Position- a patient body stands erect with arms down at the sides, palm facing you
1. Supine position – the px is lying face up on his or her back
2. Prone position – the px is lying face down on his or her stomach
3. Lateral position – the px is lying on her left or right side
4. Superior – means towards or closer to the head
5. Inferior- means toward or close to the feet
6. Anterior- means toward the front
7. Posterior- means toward the back
8. Medial- means toward the midline or center
9. Lateral- refers to the left or right of the midline
10. Proximal- means close or near the point of reference (near the surface)
11. Distal- means distant or far away from the point of reference
12. Superficial- means near the surface (outside the skin)
13. Deep- means remote or far from the surface-muscle
14. Internal- means inside the body nerves
15. External- means outside of the body skin
