FIRST AIDER - is a person who takes action while taking care to keep everyone involved safe and to cause no further harm while doing so.

GOOD SAMARITAN LAWS

 Statutes (laws) that protect rescuers from being sued for giving emergency care. This law states that you may not provide care beyond
your level of training and you must be acting in the best interest of the victim.
HOW TO PREPARE YOURSELF AS A FIRST AIDER?
■Be calm in your approach
■Be aware of risks (to yourself and others)
■Build and maintain trust (from the casualty and the bystanders)
■Give early treatment, treating the most serious (life-threatening) conditions first.
■Call appropriate help
■Remember your own needs

MANAGING INJURIES, ACCIDENTS AND EMERGENCIES AT HOME AND WORK

1. WOUNDS
Types of Wounds:
a. ABRASION (SCRAPE) - this is a superficial wound in which the topmost layers of skin are
scraped off, leaving a raw, tender area. Chief concern is bacterial infection. Clean and protect.

b. LACERATION (CUT) - caused by sharp objects slicing through skin. Severe lacerations may
require stitches and a tetanus booster. Blood vessels are cut straight across, so bleeding may be
profuse. Structures such as tendons or nerves may be damaged.

c. PUNCTURES - A small but deep hole caused by a sharp narrow object. High risk of infection.
Usually does not cause heavy bleeding. An injury such as standing on a nail or being pricked
by a needle will result in a puncture wound.

d. AVULSIONS - Occurs when skin or tissue is partly or completely torn away. If possible wrap
the severed body part in a sterile, cold, moist towel to preserve the tissue.

FIRST AID IN CONTROLLING BLEEDING

 Raise wound above the level of the heart.
 Cover with sterile gauze or cloth.
 Use direct pressure to stop the bleeding
 Once bleeding stops secure gauze with a bandage. Seek medical attention if needed.
 2. FRACTURES and DISLOCATIONS
a. FRACTURE - A break in a bone
i. OPEN FRACTURE - is exposed at the surface where it breaks the skin. The casualty may suffer bleeding and shock.
Infection is a risk.

ii. CLOSED FRACTURE - the skin is not broken, although the bone ends may damage nearby tissues and blood
vessels. Internal bleeding is a risk.

b. DISLOCATIONS - a separation of a bone from its normal position in a joint.

FIRST AID FOR FRACTURES & DISLOCATIONS

 Call 911. Keep victim still & calm
 If skin is broken rinse to prevent infection.
  Cover with sterile dressing.
 Immobilize area.
 Apply ice.
 If injury doesn’t affect head, neck, legs, or spine…Treat for Shock.

3. FIRE
THE ELEMENTS OF FIRE
A fire needs three components to start and maintain it: ignition (a spark or flame); a source of fuel (gasoline, wood, or fabric);
and oxygen (air). Removing one of these elements can break this “triangle of fire.”
When escaping from a fire:
 Do not reenter a burning building to collect personal possessions
 Do not use elevators
 Do not go back to a building unless cleared to do so by fire officer Fire precautions:
 Do not move anything that is on fire
 Do not smother flames with flammable materials
 Do not fight a fire if it could endanger your own safety
 If your clothes catch fire and help is not available, you can extinguish the flames yourself by stopping, dropping to the ground, and
rolling
 Do not put water on an electrical fire: pull the plug out or switch the power off
 Smother a grease fire with a fire blanket or pot lid; never use water

4. ELECTRICAL INCIDENTS
When a person is electrocuted, the passage of electrical current through the body may stun him, causing his breathing and
heartbeat to stop. The electrical current can also cause burns both where it enters and where it exits the body to go to “earth.” An electrical
burn may appear very small or not be visible on the skin, but the damage can extend deep into the tissues.
WHAT TO DO?
 Do not touch the casualty if he is in contact with the
electrical current.
 Do not use anything metallic to break the electrical
contact.
 Do not approach high-voltage wires until the power is
turned off.
 Do not move a person with an electrical injury unless he
is in immediate danger and is no longer in contact with
the electricity.
 If it is safe to touch the casualty and he is unconscious
and not breathing, start CPR with chest compressions.
