 What I Need to Know

It is very essential to apply proper transportation for a severely injured person

cannot be overestimated. It is often important to move a patient to some distance
before you can get a doctor. Improper methods of transporting an injured person
frequently increase the severity of the injury and may even result to death. Don’t be in
hurry in transporting an injured person. Be sure that a thorough examination has been
done and all injuries are well-protected by proper dressing, splints, and more.

In this module, you will be challenged to analyze situations and use your
muscular strength and endurance to carry and transfer an injured person to a safer
place. At the end of this lesson, you are expected to demonstrate the proper
techniques in carrying and transporting the victims of unintentional injuries. This
lesson also will culminate your exciting and significant journey as you learn the causes
and proper first aid procedures for common unintentional injuries. Your insight, abilities
and comprehension on this last stage will totally set you up to rehearse wellbeing
measures and help yourself, your family, companions and your local area during
crises.

must undergo proper training. When doing this, a first aider must consider the following
factors:
• Weight and height of the victim
• Status of the victim (conscious or unconscious)
• Environment (safe, floor is smooth, narrow, or wide)
• Special need considerations (injuries of the victim)
