Lesson
1 First Aid Saves Lives
Nowadays there are many natural disasters and major tragedies happening around the
world. If an emergency occurs in the school environment, in your respective home or open
space, or even in your community being a vulnerable observer to any emergency scenario can
worsen the circumstances. This is the reason why people should have at least a piece of
essential information on first aid.
In its most essential structure, First Aid is the most basic form of help or assistance
given to a victim of injury or sickness and initial care given to a person who is sick, ill or injured.
Basic first aid knowledge is comprised of comparatively simple methods and techniques that can
be done with limited equipment and is ordinarily completed until proficient medical helps arrive.
Acquiring some basic first aid procedures and proper technique and skills on how to carry and
transport a victim in the event of accidents and injuries, can be a big help to other people. Proper
transportation of a victim can lessen the injured part of the body and have prevention skills to
overcome these hazards. It can help you to lessen the impact of injury, and could potentially help
you save a family member or loved one’s life. In an emergency situation, it is very helpful that you
know basic first aid application regardless of your level of skill or experience because what is
important is you have the capacity to help when no one can.

How to Transport and Injured Person to a Safer Place?

Transporting an injured person to a safer place requires great care. A first aider must undergo proper
training. When doing this, a first aider must consider the following factors:
a. Weight and height of the victim
b. Status of the victim (conscious or unconscious)
c. Environment (safe, floor is smooth, narrow or wide)
Special need considerations (injuries of the victims

Different Kinds of Transport Procedure

1. Fireman’s Carry – the easiest way to
transport a light and smaller victim.
1. Getting the victim into position requires a very strong
rescuer or an assistant.
2. The victim is carried over one shoulder.
3. The rescuer’s arm, on the side that the victim is being
carried, is wrapped across the victim’s legs and grasps
the victim’s opposite arm.
 2. Piggy Back – used when the victim is
conscious.
3. Lovers Carry- this only works with a child or a
very light person.
4. Shoulder Drag – is used when the floor is
smooth, short distance transport.
4. Fireman’s Drag or Tied Hands Crawl – used
when first aider and the victim must crawl
underneath a low structure.
5. Grasp the right wrist with your right hand and straighten up.
1. Place both the victim’s arms over your shoulders.
2. Cross the victim’s arms, grasping the victim’s
opposite wrist.
3. Pull the arms close to your chest.
4. Squat slightly and drive your hips into the victim while
bending slightly at the waist.
5. Balance the load on your hips and support the victim
with your legs.
1. Place your arms under the victim’s knees and
around their back.
1. Grasp the victim by the clothing under the
shoulders.
2. Keep your arms on both sides of the head.
3. Support the head.
4. Try to keep the pull as straight and in-line as
possible.
1. Kneel on one knee at his or her head. Pass your hands
under the armpits; then slide your hands down the sides and
clasp them across the back.
2. Raise the casualty to the position. Take a better hold
across the back.
3. Raise the casualty to a standing position and place your
right leg between the legs. Grasp the right wrist in your left
hand and swing the arm around the back of your neck and
down your left shoulder.
4. Stop quickly and pull the casualty across your shoulders
and, at the same time, put your right arm between the legs.
5. Blanket Drag – is used when the victim
is seriously injured and should not be lifted.
Two Man Carry
1. Chair or Seat Carry – when there are two first
aiders and a chair is available.
1. Place the victim on the blanket by using the “logroll” or
the three-person lift.
2. The victim is placed with the head approx. 2 ft. from
one corner of the blanket.
3. Wrap the blanket corners around the victim. 4.Keep
your back as straight as possible.
5. Use your legs, not your back.
6. Try to keep the pull as straight and in-line as possible.
1. Pick the victim up and place them or have them in a
chair.
2. The rescuer at the head grasps the chair from the sides
of the back, palms in.
3. The rescuer at the head then tilts the chair back onto its
rear legs.
4. For short distances or stairwells, the second rescuer
should face in and grasp the chair legs.
5. For longer distances, the second rescuer should
separate the victim’s legs, back into the chair and, on the
command of the rescuer at the head, both rescuers stand
using their legs.
Three or More - Man Transport
1. Hammock Carry – when there
are three first aiders.
2. Six Man Lift and Carry – when
there are six first aiders.
3. Bearer Alongside Carry –
carriers will stay on the uninjured
side of the
victim.
1. Reach under the victim and grasp one wrist
on the opposite rescuer.
2. The rescuers on the ends will only be able
to grasp one wrist on the opposite rescuer.
3. The rescuers with only one wrist grasped
will use their free hands to support the
victim’s head and feet/legs.
4. The rescuers will then squat and lift the
victim on the command of the person
nearest the head, remembering to use
proper lifting techniques.
1. Make a stretcher ready using one blanket
only.
2. Roll a blanket lengthwise and the edge
back to about half the width of the blanket.
3. The leader then directs two (or three)
rescuers to kneel down on each side of the
casualty. The rescuers on one side ease the
casualty over on one side and the rolled
section of the blanket is pushed well
underneath the casualty.
4. The blanketing is then completed with one
blanket, leaving the lifting blanket in
position.
5. Each person kneels on the knee nearest the
victim’s feet.
6. On the command of the person at the head,
the rescuers lift the victim up and rest the
victim on their knees.
1. If the patient is being placed on a
low stretcher or litter basket:
On the command of the person at the head, the
patient is placed down on the litter/stretcher.
2. If the victim is to be placed on a
high gurney/bed or to be carried:
At this point, the rescuers will rotate the victim
so that the victim is facing the rescuers, resting
against the rescuers’ chests.
 On the command of the person at the
head, all the rescuers will stand.
 To walk, all rescuers will start out on the
same foot, walking in a line abreast.

Activity 6: Situational Analysis

Directions: Analyze the emergency situations below. Sequence the first aid procedures by indicating numbers
1,2,3… Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.
1. You were asked by your P.E teacher to officiate a game in one session of your class. During the game,
one of your classmates named Calix, suffers sprain in his right ankle. Following the RICE principle, what is
the best remedy to attend a victim who experiences ankle sprain?

_ To stop swelling, you must compress the ankle with a bandage until the swelling stops. Don't hinder
circulation by wrapping too tightly. Begin wrapping at the end farthest from your heart.
_ Get an ice pack or ice slush bath immediately for 15 to 20 minutes and repeat every two to three hours.
_ Refrain from movements that can cause pain, swelling or discomfort.
_ To alleviate swelling, elevate his ankle above the level of the heart. Gravity helps reduce swelling by
draining excess fluid.

is the fastest way to respond to a muscle cramp?
_ Pull the top of her foot on the affected side toward her head gently while her leg
remains in a straightened position.
_ Apply a warm towel or heating pad on her tense or tight muscle.
_ Try using an ice or cold pack. Always keep a 14 cloth between her skin and the ice pack.
_ Slowly stretch the affected muscle area and gently rub it to help it relax.
 3. Ann suddenly felt dizzy and was sweating out all over her body to the extent that she almost fainted
on her way back to their classroom after watching the school program. What could be the reason for

_ Monitor her carefully.
_ Help her to lay down and elevate the legs and feet slightly.
_ Remove tight or heavy clothing.
_ Spray or sponge her with cool water and fanning to cool her.
