 Introduction to
sustainability
Outdoor activities bring meaning to people's physical, social, emotional, and
spiritual states. However, they also pose risks and hazards that can cause harm.
Fun can lead to disasters, and safety measures are essential to prevent accidents.
Environmental hazards can cause sudden illness or injury, and it's crucial to
know how to respond to such situations. It's essential to locate the nearest
medical facility and know how to respond immediately, as it could be a
lifesaving act.

Did you know?

 Venomous snakes can still inflict fatal bites even after death,
according to Steven Beaupré, a biology professor at the University of
Arkansas. Biting reflexes can be activated in the brain even hours after
an animal's death, driven by electrically charged particles in nerve
cells. This was demonstrated in a reported incident in China, where a
chef accidentally bitten a decapitated head while preparing a rare
cobra soup.

 This chapter will deal with medical injuries, and illnesses commonly
encountered in the outdoors and how one can help others in these
situations. Discussions will also include aquatic and environmental
hazards that potentially might be the cause of the illness and injuries. First
aid administration is a life-saving skill that requires training. It has to be
noted that the discussions in this chapter should not take the place of first
aid training, but rather serve as basic information and guide, so one may
know how to react and respond given certain medical and emergency
situations.
What should
one do when
faced with a
medical
emergency
situation?
Panic is the worst enemy of any emergency situation. It
even makes a bad situation worse, as this spreads to others
as well. It does not allow one to think. In fact, it even
hinders or interferes with the rational thinking and causes
confusion. So, the first thing to do in an emergency
situation is to stay calm.

Then, try to remember and apply the DRSABC action plan

or flow that is described as Follows:

 Send
send for help or shout for help.

Airway
Is the person's airway clear? If
the person is not responding
unconscious, check airway by
opening the mouth and having a
look inside. Tilting the head back
with the chin facing up will clear
an airway.
 Breathing
make sure that the victim is
breathing by looking at breathing
signs, listening to exhales, and
feeling air coming out of the CPR (cardiopulmonary
mouth or nose. resuscitation)

if an adult is unconscious, no pulse,

and not breathing, perform the CPR
until the emergency personnel or
medics arrive.
How is
cardiopulmonary
resuscitation
administered?
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique that is
administered when breathing and heartbeat of a person stopped, such
as during a heart attack and drowning.

CPR involves the CAB process that stands for compression

(restoration of blood circulation), airway (clearing of airway),
and breathing (breathe for the person).
In administering first aid, it is important to know when
to use CPR. If there is no breathing and no pulse is felt,
administer the CPR cycle-30 compressions, then two
breaths until help arrives. In administering CPR or
compression, the following must be done:
1. Put the person on his or her back on a firm
surface.

2. Locate hand position for compression by drawing an

imaginary line from armpit to center chest for hand
placement.
3. Place heel of one hand on the lower part of the
breastbone.
4. Put other hand over the first, interlacing your fingers
for support
5. With straight arms and shoulder positioned over the
victim's chest, push down on the victim's chest. For
adult victims, push it down for at least 2 Inches or 5 cm
deep.

6. Give 30 compressions in 18 seconds or less (rate of 100

compressions in one minute) and
let chest rise completely between compressions.
7. After 30 compressions, give two rescue breaths.

8. Repeat cycle until help arrives or when there are signs of

movement.
In checking for pulse of the victim, put two fingers on the center
of the neck then slide fingers down to the side of the victim's
neck up to the nudge between muscles. When pulse is felt but no
signs of breathing, administer one rescue breathing every five
seconds and recheck pulse every two minutes. In rescue
breathing, do the following:
1. Gently tilt the victim's forehead back with one hand

2. Tilt the victim's chin using the other hand; this will open
the victim's airway
3. Pinch nose close then cover the victim's mouth with your
mouth. Blow life-giving air to the victim. Watch for the chest
rise; If It does not rise then reposition and perform the rescue
breathing all over again.
For those engaging in outdoor activities, it's vital to be
prepared with proper gear, stay safe by respecting nature
and knowing personal limits, inform others of plans,
remain weather-aware, learn essential skills, and remember
to enjoy the experience while respecting wildlife and
leaving no trace.
