 First Aid For :
1. Soft tissue injury:
Definition:
A soft tissue injury is any injury to a ligament, muscle, or tendon. These “soft” areas of the
body typically become injured after undergoing some trauma, such as a car accident, or
another type of personal injury accident. Victims hurt in a car accident usually suffer from
symptoms of a soft-tissue injury.

1. . Rest

 If you experience an injury, stop. If you are playing sport, it’s often hard to sit on the sidelines
but you risk making the injury worse if you continue. Sitting still will also allow you to start
the steps below immediately rather than waiting. Take the weight off the injured part of the
body by using crutches if you have a foot injury or a sling for an arm or hand injury.
 
 Ice
 To reduce the swelling and pain, apply ice for 20 minutes 3-5 times per day. Have at least 1.5
hours rest between applications. Keep the ice treatment going for up to 72 hours to provide
relief from pain and swelling. Use ice cubes in a wet towel or a bag of frozen vegetables.
 
 Compression
 Wrap a bandage around the injury plus above and below the injury site to provide a good
compression. The bandage should be firm but not too tight that it can interrupt the blood flow.
The bandage will help contain the swelling.
 
 Elevation
 If the injury is on the lower leg or foot, such as a sprained ankle, elevate the leg above the hip.
When sitting, use another chair to rest your leg and when lying in bed, place a pillow under
your leg. If the injury is on the arm, use a sling.

 Referral
 You may need to seek medical advice for an assessment of the severity of your injury. A scan
may be required to decide on the treatment.  
2. Fainting:
Definition-
Fainting, or syncope, is a sudden and temporary loss of consciousness. This usually

occurs due to a lack of oxygen reaching the brain .

 Ask them to lie down.

 Check for other injuries. They may have hurt themselves falling down, so look for head
injuries and any other wounds. Treat as appropriate.
 Kneel down next to them and raise their legs, supporting their ankles on your shoulders to
help blood flow back to the brain.
 Make sure that they have plenty of fresh air. Ask other people to move away and if you’re
inside then ask someone to open a window.
 Reassure the casualty and help them to sit up slowly. 

o If they begin to feel faint again, lie them down again.

o If they stay unresponsive, open their airway, check their breathing and prepare to treat
someone who is unresponsive.
