3 Objectives of First Aid | 1) Prevent further injury 2) infection 3) loss of life |
8 Fundamental Elements of First Aid *BOBSCHEF | 1) Burns 2) Obstructed Airway 3) Bleeding 4) Shock 5) Cold Weather Injury 6) Heat Related Injury 7) Electric Shock 8) Fractures |
4 Methods of Controlling Bleeding | 1) Direct Pressure 2) Pressure Point 3) Elevation 4) Use of Tourniquet |
Def. of Pressure Point | A point where a main artery lies near the skin surface and over a bone. |
11 Principal Pressure Points | 1) Superficial temporal artery 2) Facial artery 3) Common carotid artery 4) Subclavian artery 5) Brachial artery (upper inner arm) 6) Brachial artery (inner elbow) 7) Radial/Ulnar artery 8) Iliac artery 9) Femoral artery 10) Popliteal artery 11) Anterior/Posterior Tibial artery |
3 classifications of burns | 1) First degree burn 2) Second degree burn 3) Third degree burn |
Def. of First Degree Burn | Produces red, warmth and mild pain |
Def. of Second Degree Burn | Red, blistered skin and severe pain |
Def. of Third Degree Burn | Destroys tissue, skin, and bone in severe cases. Severe pain may be absent due to nerve ending damage. |
2 Types of Fractures | 1) Open/Compound Fracture 2) Closed/Simple Fracture |
Def. of Open/Compound Fracture | Break in the skin with a possible bone protrusion |
Def. of Closed/Simple Fracture | Broken bone without a break in the skin |
Def. of Electric Shock | When a person comes into contact with an electric energy source, shock occurs |
4 Indications of obstructed airway | 1) Inability to talk 2) Exaggerated breathing 3) Pointing/grasping at throat 4) Turning bluish color |
2 Types of Heat Related Injuries | 1) Heat Exhaustion 2) Heat Stroke |
Def. of Heat Exhaustion | Serious disturbance of blood flow to the brain, heart, and lungs |
Symptoms of Heat Exhaustion | Skin: cool, moist, and clammy Pupil: dilated Body Temp: normal and or high Victim is...: sweating profusely |
Def. of Heat Stroke | Very serious condition caused by the breakdown of the body's sweating mechanism |
Symptoms of Heat Stroke | Skin: hot and/or dry Pupils: uneven pupil dilation Pulse: weak, rapid Victim is...: unable to eliminate excessive body heat buildup |
3 Cold Weather Injuries | 1) Hypothermia 2) Superficial Frostbite 3) Deep Frostbite |
Def. of Hypothermia | General cooling of the whole body due to exposure of low or rapidly falling temperatures, cold moisture, snow, or ice |
Symptoms of Hypothermia | Breathing: slow or shallow Pulse: faint or even undetectable Body Tissues: feel semi-rigid Arms/Legs: may feel stiff Victim may...: pale and unconscious |
Def. of Superficial Frostbite | Ice crystals forming in the upper skin in temperatures of 32 degrees or lower |
Def. of Deep Frostbite | Ice crystals forming in the deeper tissues after exposure to temperature of 32 degrees or lower |
6 Types of Shock | 1) Cardiogenic Shock 2) Anaphylactic Shock 3) Septic Shock 4) Hypovolemic Shock 5) Electric Shock 6) Shock |
Def. of Cardiogenic Shock | Heart is damaged and unable to supply sufficient blood to the body |
What is an end result of a heart attack or congestive heart failure? | Cardiogenic Shock |
Def. of Anaphylactic Shock | Type of severe hypersensitivity or allergic reaction. |
Causes of Anaphylactic Shock | Allergy to insect stings, medicines, or foods (nuts, berries, or seafood) |
Def. of Septic Shock | Bacteria multiplying in the blood and releasing toxins |
Common Causes of Septic Shock | Pneumonia, intra-abdominal infections (i.e. ruptured appendix) and meningitis |
Def. of Hypovolemic Shock | Severe blood and fluid loss from traumatic bodily injuries, which makes heart unable to pump enough blood to body |
What causes Neurogenic Shock? | Spinal cord injury. Usually a result of traumatic accident or injury |
Def. of Shock | Body suffers from insufficient blood flow throughout the body. Result of severe injury or illness. |
