BANDAGING
Introduction

• The proper bandage properly applied can aid materially in the recovery of a
patient.

• A carelessly or improperly applied bandage can cause discomfort to the

patient; it many instances it may expose the wound to danger of infection.
BANDAGE
A bandage should never be applied directly over a wound; it should be
used only to hold in place the dressing which covers a wound.
A bandage should be applied firmly and fastened securely.
A bandage should not be applied so tightly that is stops circulation or so
loosely that it allows the dressing to slip.

DRESSING
A dressing (preferably sterile) used to cover a wound that will help control
bleeding and prevent additional contamination.
REMINDER
Before Approaching and Touching your Patient ensure the following:

SCENE SAFETY
Ensure Personal and Scene Safety

BSI (Body Substance Isolation)

This refers to use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
CHECKING THE CSM (CIRCULATION, SENSORY and MOTOR)

It is important to check the Circulation, Sensory and Motor before and after
Splinting and Bandaging to make sur that all are intact.

Circulation refers to the of distal pulses and capillary refill

Sensory refers to patient’s sense of feel, if he/she can feel you palpates there
fingers or toes.

Motor refers to if the patient can move his/her fingers and toes.

 SPLINTING

The purpose of Splinting is to IMMOBILIZE the fragments of broken bones.

This will prevent edges of the bones from tearing blood vessels and nerves. It
greatly reduce pain induced by the fracture.
Principles
-All fracture of the long bones should be splinted “where they lie” before movement
of transportation.
-In applying a splint, the joint above and below the fracture should be immobilized.
-The splint should be so applied that it does not interfere with circulation of the
splinted part.
-The splint should be padded to prevent injury to the limb or discomfort to the
patient.
-Traction is required for most long bones to overcome muscle contraction and
associated shortening.
-Splint may be improvised from boards, or sticks, rolled magazines or newspapers
and illustration boards.
