First Aid
First Aid is the immediate treatment using available facilities or materials and given to an injured
or ill person while waiting for medical assistance to arrive. It includes either emergency measures for life-
threatening conditions which require further medical attention or care for less serious injuries which may
be adequately treated on the spot. As an urgent care given to an injured or unexpectedly ill person, first
aid also involves home care and self- care if medical assistance is delayed or not available.

First Aider
The first Aider deals with the whole situation involving the patient and the injury or illness. The
Philippines National Red Cross (PNRC) conducted training for the people who like to become first
aiders.

harm by making the victim panic.

The role and responsibilities of a first aider are as follows:

Basic Life Support


Life support is a series of emergency life- saving procedures that are carried out to prolong the
life of a victim. It classified under three types:
1. Basic life support is an emergency procedure that consist of recognizing respiratory or cardiac arrest
are both and the proper application of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to maintain life until a victim
recovers or advanced cardiac life support can be administered.
2. Advance cardiac life support is the use of special equipment to maintain the breathing and blood
circulation of the victim.
3. Prolonged life support is the post- resuscitation and long term resuscitation.

Bandage and Bandaging Techniques


Bandage and dressings are both used in wound or fracture management. A bandage is a piece of
cloth or other materials used to bind or wrap a diseased, injured or fractured part of the body. Usually
shaped as a pad, bandages are either placed directly against the wound or used to bind a fracture of the
body.
The following are the bandages and bandaging techniques adapted from survival outdoor.
Bandaging Upper and Lower Extremities
Shoulder Bandage
To apply bandages, attach to the field first aid
dressing-
1. Take one bandage across the chest and the
other across the back and under the arm
opposite the injured shoulder.
2. Tie the ends with a non-slip knot (figure 2)
3. Fold the extended bandage into a single
cravat bandage (figure 3 D). after folding,
secure the thicker part (overlap) with two or
more safety pins (figure 3 E).
4. Place the middle of the cravat bandage under the armpit so that the front end is longer than the
back end and safety pins are on the outside (figure 3 F).
5. Cross the ends on top of the shoulder (figure 3 G).
6. Take one end cross the back and under the arm on the opposite side and the other end across
the chest. Tie the ends (figure 3 H).

Be sure to place sufficient wadding in the armpit.


DO NOT tie the cravat bandage too tightly. Avoid compressing the major blood vessels in the armpit.
Elbow Bandage
To apply a cravat bandage to the elbow-
1. Bend the arm at the elbow and place the middle of the cravat at the point of the elbow bringing
the ends upward (figure 4 A).
2. Bring the end cross extending both downward (figure 4 B).
3. Take the both ends around the arm and the tie the them with non- slip knot at the front of the
elbow (figure 4 C)

If an elbow fracture is suspected, DO NOT bend the elbow; bandage it in an extended position.

Hand Bandage
To apply a triangular bandage to the hand-
1. Place the hand in the middle of the triangular bandage with the wrist at the base of bandage
(figure 5 A). Ensure that the fingers do not come in contact with the absorbent material to prevent
chafing and irritation of the skin.
2. Place the apex over the figures and tuck any excess materials into the pleats on each side of the
hand (figure 5 B).
3. Cross the end on the top of the hand, take them around the wrist, and tie them (figure 5C,5D and
5E) with a non- slip knot.

the base of the thumbs. Then bring it downward across the palm (figure 6B).
3. Take the end of the thumb and cross the back of the hand, over the palm, and through the hollow
between the thumb and palm (figure 6C).

9A). ensure that toes do not come in contact with the absorbent materials to prevent chafing and
