Lesson
First Aid is for Everyone
1 Specially in Sports!
 Sports related injuries may be generally categorized as acute or chronic, the range of medical
conditions potentially resulting from sports or exercise related injuries world wide. 90% of all sports
related injuries are either contusions and strains. Contacts sports may increase the risk of contusions
whereas sprinting and jumping are the most common activities associated with muscle strains.

first aid?

Activity 3: Answer Me!

Directions:Answer the following questions
Write your answer on the separate sheet of paper.
 What is First Aid?

First Aid is an immediate and temporary care

given to a person who has been injured or suddenly
taken ill.It includes self help, and home care if medical
assistance is not available or delayed.

Objectives of first Aid:

1. What are the common to alleviate

injuries encountered by suffering
2. the officiating officials to prevent /
and athletes? added
further
injury or
What is first aid? danger

Common Injury Encountered by Officiating

Officials and Athletes

What are the objectives and 1.SPRAIN- A sprain is a stretching or tearing of

goals of first aid? ligaments — the tough bands of fibrous tissue that
connect two bones together in your joints. The most
common location for a sprain is in your ankle.

V.What is It?

Signs and symptoms of Sprain

 pain in the joint or muscle
 swelling and bruising
 warmth and redness of the injured area
 trouble moving the injured part

What to do

 Make sure your child stops activity right away.

 Think R.I.C.E. for the first 48 hours after the injury: 

o Rest: Rest the injured part until it's less painful.

o Ice: Wrap an icepack or cold compress in a towel and place over the injured part
immediately. Continue for no more than 20 minutes at a time, four to eight times a day.
o Compression: Support the injured part with an elastic compression bandage for at least 2
days.
o Elevation: Raise the injured part above heart level to decrease swelling.

2.Heat Exhaustion - Heat exhaustion is a condition whose symptoms may include heavy sweating and a
rapid pulse, a result of your body overheating. It's one of three heat-related syndromes, with heat cramps
being the mildest and heatstroke being the most severe.

Signs and Symptoms of Heat Exhasution:

 Cool, moist skin with goose bumps when in the heat

 Heavy sweating

 Faintness

 Dizziness
  Fatigue

 Weak, rapid pulse

 Low blood pressure upon standing

 Muscle cramps

 Nausea

 Headache

What to do

 Have the person rest, legs slightly elevated, in a shaded area or cool or air-conditioned
building, room, or car. 

 Remove or loosen the person's clothes. 

 Give the person an electrolyte drink, such as Gatorade® or Pedialyte®, or water if not
available. Do not give beverages that contain caffeine or alcohol. Note: You can make a salted
drink by adding 1 teaspoon of salt to one quart of water. 

 Pour water over the person or spray with a hose. Note: Do not do this if the person is
disoriented. 

 Wrap the person in wet cloth, and position a fan toward him/her. Evaporation of water on the
skin aids in cooling. 

 Apply cold compresses (eg, to neck, armpits, groin).

Other Serious Injuries that requires Immediate care or First Aid

1.Strain- A strain is defined as an injury to a tendon (tissues that connect your muscles and bones) or
muscle. Strains can range from mild to extreme; and may mean your tendon or muscle has a partial or
complete tear.

2.Knee Injury- injuries to the ligaments that hold the knee together. There are multiple ligaments that
stabilize the knee and keep it in alignment. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior
cruciate ligament (PCL) stabilize the knee in movement from front to back and cross each other in the
middle of the knee joint. The medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL)
stabilize the knee so that the bones do not slide from side to side.

3. Fractures-  fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an
open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls, or sports
injuries. Other causes are  low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones.
Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.

4. Dislocation- A dislocation is an injury to a joint — a place where two or more bones come together
— in which the ends of your bones are forced from their normal positions. This painful injury
temporarily deforms and immobilizes your joint.

Dislocation is most common in shoulders and fingers. Other sites include elbows, knees and hips. If you
suspect a dislocation, seek prompt medical attention to return your bones to their proper positions.
 First Aid for Strain

 Think R.I.C.E. for the first 48 hours after the injury: 

o Rest: Rest the injured part until it's less painful.
o Ice: Wrap an icepack or cold compress in a towel and place over the injured part
immediately. Continue for no more than 20 minutes at a time, four to eight times a day.
o Compression: Support the injured part with an elastic compression bandage for at least 2
days.
o Elevation: Raise the injured part above heart level to decrease swelling.

Knee Injury

1. Control Swelling

Use the RICE method:

 Rest the knee.

 Ice the area.

 Compress with a wrap or elastic sleeve.

 Elevate the knee as much as possible.

2. Treat Symptoms

 For pain, give over-the-counter pain medication such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen.

3. When to Call a Doctor

 Make an appointment with a doctor if you still have pain after two weeks of home treatment, if
the knee becomes warm, or if you have fever along with a painful, swollen knee.
4. Follow Up

 If you seek medical help, the doctor will examine the knee and may do X-rays or other methods
of imaging. Medical treatments may include anti-inflammatory drugs, draining fluid, physical
therapy, crutches or braces, or surgery.

Fractures

 Stop any bleeding. Apply pressure to the wound with a sterile bandage, a clean cloth or a clean
piece of clothing.
 Immobilize the injured area. Don't try to realign the bone or push a bone that's sticking out
back in. If you've been trained in how to splint and professional help isn't readily available, apply a
splint to the area above and below the fracture sites. Padding the splints can help reduce discomfort.
 Apply ice packs to limit swelling and help relieve pain. Don't apply ice directly to the skin.
Wrap the ice in a towel, piece of cloth or some other material.
 Treat for shock. If the person feels faint or is breathing in short, rapid breaths, lay the person
down with the head slightly lower than the trunk and, if possible, elevate the legs.

Dislocation:

1. Don't delay medical care. Get medical help immediately.

2. Don't move the joint. Until you receive help, splint the affected joint into its fixed position.
Don't try to move a dislocated joint or force it back into place. This can damage the joint and its
surrounding muscles, ligaments, nerves or blood vessels.
3. Put ice on the injured joint. This can help reduce
swelling by controlling internal bleeding and the
buildup of fluids in and around the injured joint.

VI.What’s More?

during sweating.
