DRESSING, BANDAGING, AND TRANSPORTING SKILLS
Wound- is an unintentional injury that requires first aid to speed up the healing process.
WOUND DRESSING
A dressing is a sterile pad applied directly on a wound to protect it from infection. A
wound is an injury characterized by a cut or a break on the skin.
Basic First Aid- Minor wounds may be given first aid. Below are the steps in applying
immediate care to a minor wound.
1. Wash the wound with clean water and soap.
2. Put the wound under running water to help stop bleeding.
3. Dry the wound with a clean towel.
4. Apply povidone-iodine to disinfect the wound. Do not apply alcohol because it may
cause further irritation.
5. Put dressing on the wound.
Place the dressing directly over the wound.
Use enough amount of dressing. Make sure the dressing extends up to one inch
beyond the edges of the wound.
Be certain that the dressing is non-sticky, and secure it with a bandage.
Principles of Dressing
In dressing wounds, a person must always keep in mind the following principles:
Wash thoroughly and disinfect hands before touching the dressing.
Be careful when dressing the wound. Consider that it may be painful to the
injured.
Make the dressing large enough to cover the wound. If any part of the wound is
exposed, it is more prone to infection.
Fit the dressing tightly to provide compression, but still enough to allow blood
circulation.
Dispose the used dressing properly.
BANDAGING
A bandage is any piece of cloth used to hold a dressing in place. It may also be used to
support a body part with a musculoskeletal injury.
BANDAGING TECHNIQUES
Instruction: The teacher will demonstrate the different bandaging techniques to the class.
TRANSPORTING TECHNIQUES
Some injuries immobilize the victim. This means that the person is restricted to limited
movement. Transporting refers to the moving of the victim from one place to another. It is
usually done after applying first aid. Transporting may be done by one person, pair, or
group.
EXAMPLES OF TRANSPORTING TECHNIQUES:
Instruction: The teacher will demonstrate the different transporting techniques to the class.
A. Ankle drag- may be used if the person has no injuries on the legs or
feet.
1. Make sure the victim is lying flat on the ground.
2. Raise the injured person's arms above their head in a crisscross
position.
3. Place the victim's legs together.
4. Position yourself at the feet of the victim for ankle drag.
5. Lift both ankles of the victim and gently drag him or her.
D. Pack strap carry- may be used if the victim can move and stand with assistance.
1. Start in a kneel down position.
2. Cross the hands of the patient above his chest.
3. Arrange the legs cross to each other and lift the knee.
4. Gently lift the victim in his/her upper area and support it with your
knee.

hands.
8. Cross the arms of the victim and lift the patient carefully.
Two-man carry- involves two rescuers working together to support and transport the
injured person.

long distances.
1. Face each other and kneel down on either side of the victim.
2. Raise the victim to a seated position.
3. Put the victim’s arms around the necks of the rescuers.
4. Link your arms behind the victim’s back.
5. Place the free arms under the victim’s knees and link the arms

B. Four-handed carry- can be used to carry for moderate distances a victim who is
conscious and alert.
1. Face each other.
2. Make a square-shaped seat using your arms by using both hands
to hold each other's wrists and then do a squatting position.
3. Let the victim sit on the square seat.
4. Make sure the victim is securely in place before standing up using
your legs, making sure that your back is straight.
After the activity, the teacher will ask the students through the following questions:
What will be the bad effect of not following the proper way of dressing and
bandaging?
Why is it important to know the different dressing, bandaging, and transporting
skills?
Will you help someone in need if you already know the dressing, bandaging, and
