INTRODUCTION
 If an accident happens in the workplace, you cannot be a
helpless witness, since simply standing by can potentially
worsens the situation. This is why it’s important to have at least
a basic on first aid.

 As its most basic, first aid is the initial assistance given to a


victim of injury or illness. Comprised of relatively simple
techniques that can be performed with rudimentary equipment,
basic life support is usually carried out by a layperson until
professional medical assistance arrives.
LEARNING OUTCOME
The students will be able to:
•Recognize the various types of wounds
•Recognize the various types of burns
•Administer appropriate first aid to persons with wounds, burnt, musculoskeletal
injuries
•Recognize the presence of the signs and symptoms of the following:
 fracture
 dislocation
 sprain
 strain
•Recognize a victim of a likely spine injury
•Administer appropriate first aid to persons with these injuries
ROADMAP
Discuss the following:
First Aid for trauma Injuries: Wounds, Burns and
Musculoskeletal Injuries;

Immobilization Purpose and Techniques (Splinting


and Bandaging).
IMPORTANCE
 Providing quick medical treatment until
professional assistance arrives.

 Knowledge in Basic Life Support also


benefits the individuals themselves.

 If affords people with the ability to


provide help during various emergency
situations.
First Aid for Trauma Injuries
Wounds
 Injuries to soft tissue that damaget he
skin and the structures under.

 First aid depends on type of wound


Types of Wounds
 Open

 Closed: No break on the surface of


the skin
Open Wounds
• redness (pamumula)
• bruise, contusion
• swelling (pamamaga)
• hematoma (pamamasa)

• severe bruising = possible internal bleeding


Closed Wounds
• redness (pamumula)
• bruise, contusion
• swelling (pamamaga)
• hematoma (pamamasa)

• severe bruising = possible internal bleeding


First Aid for Closed Wounds
• Cold compress for 15 minutes 3x
a day for first 24 hours

• Hot compress for 15 minutes 3x


a day after 24 hours

• Keep affected part elevated


when possible
Open wounds

Abrasion Puncture Avulsion Laceration

Impaled wounds Amputation Evisceration


Human bite wounds
• germs in mouth can cause
infection
• also: fight bites
• Wash with soap & water
• Apply dressing
• Bring victim to hospital
immediately.
First Aid for Trauma Injuries
Burns

• due to large amounts of heat


energy absorbed by the skin
• very painful
• can cause scarring
• severe burns  death
• recognizing type of burn 
correct first aid
Types of burns
 Thermal burns - sun exposure; contact with fire,
very hot/very cold objects, liquids or gases;
blasts, fireballs

 Electrical burns - direct contact with live electrical


currents or lightning

 Chemical burns - direct contact with corrosive


substances
Depth of burns
First-degree burns

• red; no blisters
• painful
• can be swollen
Second-degree burns

• moist
• red
• swollen
• has blisters
• very painful
Third-degree burns

• dry, leathery
• white, dark
brown or charred
• hard to the touch
• numb
First aid for burns
• Quickly remove victim from burn source
• Remove clothing over burnt area except if stuck to the skin
• Immerse affected area in room-temperature water
• Apply burn ointment
• Encourage victim to drink plenty of liquids
• Do NOT prick blisters of second-degree burns
• For third-degree burns: assess C-A-Bs and manage
accordingly; cover burned area with clean, moist cloth
• Check nose and mouth for soot and ash
• Bring victim to medical facility
First aid for chemical burns
For wet chemicals
• Remove victim from source
• Flush the affected area with water for 15-20 mins
• Do NOT apply anything on the affected area
For dry chemicals
• Brush off the chemical
• Do NOT use your bare hands
• Flush with water for 15-20 minutes more after the pain goes away
• Remove all contaminated clothing
• Bring victim to medical facility
First aid for electrical burns

 Quickly separate the victim from the source of the


electric current. Turn off the current. Do NOT attempt
to turn it off if it is not accessible.
 Assess the victim’s C-A-Bs and manage accordingly
 Provide first aid to any open wound
 Bring victim to a medical facility immediately
Musculoskeletal system

• bones
• muscles
 body
• tendons
• joints movement
• ligaments
Musculoskeletal Injuries

• fracture - broken
bone
• dislocation -bone
ends are no longer in
contact
• sprain -stretched
or torn ligament
• strain - stretched
or torn muscle or
tendon
Recognizing musculoskeletal injuries

• tenderness
• deformity
• swelling
• pain
• discoloration
• crepitus
• false motion
• guarding
Spine injuries
The spine

• pillar of 33 bones along


neck and back
• protects the spinal cord
The spinal cord

• bundle of nerves that runs down


the neck and back

• carries signals between the brain


and other parts of the body

• spine injury  injury to spinal


cord  loss of functions; death
Suspect a spine injury in cases of…
• motor vehicle or motorcycle crash
• pedestrian-motor vehicle collision
• fall
• blunt trauma to the head, neck or torso
• penetrating trauma to head, neck or torso
• hanging
• diving accident
• recreational accident
What to do
Musculoskeletal injuries: DON’Ts
• Do NOT try to re-align a limb if you suspect a fracture

• Do NOT try to put back an exposed bone

• Do NOT massage the affected area


First aid for musculoskeletal injuries

• R - Rest
• I - Immobilize

• C - Cold

• E - Elevate
What to do for a spine injury victim?
• Call for emergency medical assistance immediately
• If the victim is conscious, explain to him that he may have a
serious injury and that he should NOT move
• Immobilize and support the head, neck, and torso, especially
the spine
• Check the victim’s C-A-Bs; give the necessary treatment
• If the victim has to be moved while awaiting help, log roll him to
a flat board that can support his entire body
• Bring the victim to the hospital immediately
Splint

• rigid device used to


immobilize an injured
body part
• prevents further injury
• reduces pain
General principles of splinting
• Do NOT move the victim before splinting unless there is immediate
danger
• Do NOT try to straighten or re-align any deformity; splint in the
position found
• Open fractures: stop bleeding, protect wound before splinting
• Fracture of the middle of a long bone: immobilize the joints above
and below the fracture
• Joint injuries: immobilize the bones above and below the injured
joint
• Pad all splints to prevent excessive pressure and discomfort
• Maintain manual stabilization while applying the splint to minimize
movement of the injured limb and to support the injury site
