First Aid Principles
1. First aid: It is what must be done for the injured in the period between his injury and the
arrival of the doctor to him or sending him to the nearest doctor or clinic. Bring the doctor. if
the injury was accidental and simple, it is limited to save the injured with first aid only, without
bringing a doctor.

FRACTURES
1. Definition: It is the separation of bone tissue from one another or a wound in the bone.
2. Causes:
A. Direct impact: in which the bone comes to direct hit on a surface and is broken, such as a
bullet wound or a hard object falling on a part of the body.
B. Indirect impact: in which impact on one bone causes the break to another bone, either near
it or far from it, such as breaking the collarbone when falling on the hand or breaking the
base.
C. Contracture: The fracture occurs due to severe muscle contraction, as in tetanus, or what
happens to athletes, or fracture of the patella.
D. Pathological causes: They are many and varied, such as glandular diseases, bone
tuberculosis, cancer, bone tuberculosis or syphilis, as well as aging causes fracture.

3. Types of Fractures. (as in the figure below)
A. Simple fracture: When the bone is broken and the surrounding tissue is not damaged or the
skin is opened.
B. Double or open fracture: When the bone is broken and the surrounding tissues are damaged
or the skin is opened.
C. Mixed fracture: This is either open or closed, in which it presses into the body cavities and
damages the vital organs such as the brain, lung or bladder.
5. First Aid
A. Preventing the condition from worsening by avoiding moving the broken organ as much as
possible so that complications do not occur.
B. Reducing the pain to prevent the escalation of the nervous shock.
6
C. Fixing the broken limb well to prevent its movement and comfort by using any splint that
you have at hand, such as a stick, a gun, or a piece of wood.
D. Transfer the injured person quickly.
E. If bleeding is found, it must be stopped first and the wound covered.
6. First Aid Method: This depends on the type of fracture, which is either fixed or movable:
A. Fixed fracture: a non-moving member, meaning the two ends of the broken bone do not
move, as in the fracture of the skull or ribs. In this case, the member is placed in a
comfortable position as much as possible, using ligaments.
B. Moving fracture: that is, when the two ends of the broken bone move because it is between
two wide-moving joints, such as the thigh and humerus fracture. In this case, the joint above
the fracture and the joint under the fracture must be fixed to prevent complications.

BLEEDING
1. Bleeding is the exit of blood from a blood vessel, and the goal of treating it is always to stop it now.
Bleeding, nervous shock, and thus death, or that blood is the water of life that transports the oxygen
necessary to continue classifying the types of bleeding
A. By location:
1) External bleeding is the exit of blood from the blood vessels outside the body.
2) Internal bleeding: It is the exit of blood from the blood vessels into the body’s tissues
and internal organs.

4. External bleeding: It is the exit of blood from a blood vessel outside the body and stopping the
bleeding. It is important that if the patient is presented to the doctor, it will take a lot of time. The loss
of blood, whether it is a rapid or ventricle flow from a large wound, may weaken the patient to the point
that he is unable to bear the operation. The surgery necessary to save his life.

HOT WEATHER
1. Heat: When the temperature and humidity rise in the air, the body loses heat by increasing blood
under the skin, evaporation and sweating
A. Effects Heat:
1) Fainting: When the blood increases under the skin and decreases in the brain, this
results in dizziness, sweating and fainting.
2) Exhaustion occurs due to excessive fluid evaporation from the body, the body loses a
large amount of salts through sweat, and this reduces blood circulation, showing signs
of nervous shock such as fatigue, mental disorders, pain in the head, pallor and
sweating.
3) Sunstroke: This means loss of body temperature so that the body temperature rises
“notably” and it occurs either suddenly, gradually, or after fatigue and its signs are
that the injured is unconscious and the skin is dry and red and there is no sweat.
B. Over Heat treatment:
1) Undressing the casualty, removing all his clothes
2) Spray it with cold water
3) Place a fan near it
C. Prevent the effects of heat:
1) Get used to the weather gradually
2) A reasonable time to work, with appropriate dress
3) Improving public health
4) Take appropriate fluids and salts

A. Cold cases:
1) Freezing: It is the dry cold
2) Feet al-Janq: It is standing for a long time in cold water.
3) Submerged foot: It occurs in the navy and is the result of staying in cold water. This
prevents the effects of cold.
B. Symptoms of a cold.
1) Feeling very cold.
2) numbness.
3) Leukonychia
4) The body does not feel pain at all, and it is called (the white stage).
C. Treatment: The injured or the affected organ is exposed to a temperature equal to the body
temperature only for fear of increasing the exposure of the body to cold. The signs increase
as the color of the organ becomes red and then bubbles appear on it and thus death occurs
and it is called the red stage.

Burns
1. Burns: It is damage to body tissues as a result of exposure to heat (incendiary materials) or extreme cold
2. Causes:
A. High Temperature:
1) Dry heat: - such as fire and flame.
2) Moist heat: such as steam, hot water, hot tea.
B. Electricity.
C. chemicals.
D. Extreme cold.
13
A. Severe pain: especially when exposed to air.
B. Plasma loss: This takes place after bubbles or liquid spillage from the burned surface.
C. nervous shock:
1) Primary nervous shock: It occurs immediately after the burn and is the result of pain.
2) Secondary nervous shock: It occurs hours after the burn as a result of the absorption
of toxins.
1) First-degree burns: First-degree burns that are less armed than 33% •
a) Resisting pain and anxiety by giving the patient analgesics such as Albarnitorin
under the thigh, intramuscularly or intravenously.
b) Preventing nervous shock by warming the patient and giving him some fluids.
c) Giving the patient (T.T) if he has not been vaccinated.
d) Speed in sending the injured to the hospital where first aid is given:
e) . Gently remove clothing touching burns.
f) The burn is cleaned with a saline solution with saline, and the worn pieces of
skin are removed.
g) The bubbles are still removed by the paramedic, but they are removed by the
doctor
h) Putting a sterile spare part and treating it as the doctor sees
a) Washing the burned area with running water for a long time and as quickly as
possible.
b) Giving sedatives to the patient, such as aspirin.
2) Alkali burns:
a) Wash the burned area with running water for a long time and quickly.
b) Putting dilute acids, such as vinegar and diluted acetate.
c) Giving simple sedatives.
14
d) If it is through the digestive system, try to give the patient diluted vinegar,
egg white or olive oil.
3) Burns with phosphorous: It is forbidden to put water on the burned area, but it must be
wrapped and covered completely with a piece of gauze wet with water to prevent the
access of oxygen to it.
4) Electrocution:
a) Cut off the electrical current at full speed: by means of an insulator, while
maintaining the same paramedic that the injured is not injured by electricity,
and specifying the source of entry and exit of electricity and keeping him
away from the source of the current
b) Make rapid artificial respiration: the nervous shock must be treated, and then
the burns must be treated:
5) Severe burns: In the case of extensive burns, not much work can be done except to
prevent contamination of the burn with germs, taking into account the following points:
Artificial Respiration
15
1. There are several ways to perform artificial respiration, but the best way is to blow directly into the
mouth or nose of the victim, and the paramedic must choose what suits the patient’s disease and
situation.
3. The complete interruption of breathing can be tolerated for a few minutes, and the injured person can
recover his life if he is treated during it. But if twenty minutes have passed since the complete
interruption, there is no hope for the injured person to return to life.
A. This method is the last and most recent method, the method of artificial respiration, the correct aid
during breathing in the inhale, 20% of the oxygen enters the lungs, and the rate of oxygen
exchange in the blood is only 4%, and 16% of the oxygen comes out of the lungs.
B. The number of breaths taken by the casualty is 12 times per minute, at a rate of two seconds for
inflation and three seconds for emptying, or every five seconds once.
C. the position of the patient:
1) The patient sleeps on his back.
2) A blanket or pillow or the like is placed under the shoulders so that the head can go back.
3) If air enters the stomach, the stomach must be pressed to remove it, and it continues in
this way for up to two hours.
5. Death Verification: It is inferred whether or not breathing is present in one of the following ways:
6. Signs of death: When a person dies, the general muscles relax, and after a few hours, the muscles
gradually become stiff, and within 12-18 hours, the general body is stiff and relaxes again after 36
hours.
CHOKING
16
1. Choking: It is the lack of oxygen in the blood and oxygen comes to the blood through breathing and it is
by inhalation the exhale is as follows:
A. Inhale:
1) The respiratory center in the brain.
2) The commands given for contractions are about 14 times per minute.
3) Movement of the chest muscles and diaphragm
4) Expansion of the rib cage.
5) expansion of the lungs.
6) The entry of air from the bronchi.
7) Exchange in the lungs, where the blood takes in oxygen and excretes carbon
dioxide.
B. Exhale
1) Relax the chest muscles.
2) The chest size is reduced.
3) Air is expelled from the lungs.
2. Causes of Choking: Any defect or interference with this breathing mechanism caused by:
A. Paralysis of the respiratory center of the brain from electric shock or morphine poisoning.
B. shallow and rapid breathing in a coma.
C. lack of expansion of the rib cage due to crushing,
D. Loss of oxygen from the upper layers of the atmosphere.
E. The obstruction of the respiratory tract due to the creation, the splitting, the difference.
F. Damage to lung cells due to an irritant gas - chlorine gas.
G. Replacing the oxygen in the blood with carbon dioxide due to coal and smoke poisoning.
3. Choking Treatment.
A. Remove the cause or remove the injured from the air and rescue him.
B. It saves the airway.
C. Do artificial respiration, except in cases of damage to the lung tissue from irritating toxins, and in such a
case, sending the injured to the hospital, not giving oxygen, which is very necessary.
D. If there is obstruction of the airway, the head must be hennaed forward or the patient’s head turned
downward and pressure between the bones of the plate or a simple blow.
DROWNING
17
1. Drowning: The body cavity is filled with fluid, especially the air sacs in the lungs. A drowned person's body
is usually cold and his face is flushed and bluish, as are his limbs. You may not notice a sign of breathing or a
pulse, and we think that he is dead if his muscles are not really stiff.
2. Paramedic duties
A. He pulled the drowning man out of the water, put him in the open air on his stomach, pulled his hand
forward and turned his face to one side.
B. Remove breathing obstacles such as kelp and artificial teeth from his mouth, then raise his stomach to
the top so that the water in his lungs can escape.
C. Perform the artificial respiration process without stopping. Take off his wet clothes or take them off.
Speed up the process of artificial respiration and then consider asking for help.
D. When the drowning person's normal breathing returns, cover him with a blanket and then move him
not near a shelter, and he must be well taken care of.
18
Loss of consciousness
1. Loss of consciousness: It is a symptom that accompanies many diseases and injuries, and it is not a disease
with an existing injury alone. It must always be remembered that . All cases of coma or loss of consciousness
can lose breathing. Therefore, attention must be paid to breathing in the ambulance, which must check the
airways from any obstacle, and proceed straight to artificial respiration and loss of consciousness are of two
types:
A. Partial loss of consciousness: the sufferer is between sleep and wakefulness, but is closer to sleep, If
we open the eyelids from the pupil of the eye, we find that they maintain their sensitivity, that is, they
narrow with light and widen with darkness. If we touch the cornea of the eye, the eyelids are forced.
B. Complete loss of consciousness: the sufferer is beneficial to every sense or feeling while he is in a
deep sleep, and the pupils of the eye are dilated and are not affected by the difference in light and
darkness.
2. Causes: It depends on brain activity and also depends on damage and interference in the work of the brain,
including:
A. Fainting: This results from a lack of blood flow to the brain.
B. Asthma: caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain.
C. Drugs: such as alcohol - morphine - science pills.
D. Concussion: As a result of head injuries, which may damage the brain.
E. Pressure on the brain: A collection or hematoma or a piece of bone inside the skull causes increased
pressure on the brain.
F. Damage to blood vessels, and this occurs due to blockage or damage to one of the blood vessels in the
elderly and people with high arterial tension, causing coma.
19
NERVOUS SHOCK
1. Shock: It occurs in a situation where the blood and oxygen supply to the multiple cells in the human body is
reduced, and if it is not treated quickly, it leads to death.
2. Causes:
A. Loss of a large volume of blood or fluid from the body
B. Choking
C. Severe pain helps increase shock
D. Severe infections
3. Shock Signs:
A. Thirst
B. Pallor
C. Heavy sweating
D. Increasing Pulse rate and weakness in beats (strength)
E. Gradual loss of consciousness
4. Treatment: The best type of treatment is to prevent the occurrence of shock and treat it.
A. Preventing shock: It is done in the following ways:
1) STOP the bleeding
2) Preventing Choking
3) Stabilization of fractures before transporting the injured person.
4) Preventing the occurrence of severe infections in wounds.
B. Trauma treatment: When dealing with trauma, do the following:
1) Reassure the injured person
2) Loosen tight clothing and belts
3) Do not move the casualty, if required do so gently, consider C-spine immobilization if pertinent
to mechanism of injury (MOI)
4) Place casualty in a comfortable posture (recovery position)/ place, and or quickly remove from
danger area if time/situation permits
5) Give clear fluids to drink if the stomach viscera is not damaged and if casualty is conscious.
20
WOUNDS
1. Wound: A tear in the body as a result of an injury. Most of the wounds are external, affecting the skin and the
tissues under it, but the internal wound is caused by a blow or severe trauma from the outside, such as a severe
blow to the abdominal wall that can cause a wound to the liver or spleen.
2. Types of Wounds: The types of wounds depend on the type of cause or how they occurred, and they are:
A. Incisive wounds: Caused by a sharp cutting instrument that cuts the skin and the tissue beneath it without
causing significant damage to it, because it tears the tissue, and the edges of the wound are regular. Here
the bleeding is profuse and its edges are open. There are two types of incisive wounds:
1) Long cut wounds: They are superficial caused by a razor or blade injury and bleed
profusely.
2) Deep stab wounds caused by a knife or spear stabbing, leaving a small wound with
regular edges, but it penetrates inward, causing damage to internal organs such as the
heart, reindeer, liver, etc. The bleeding from these wounds is severe, either to the inside
or outside the body cavities, and usually inflammation occurs after being hit with such
wounds
B. Torn wounds: Caused by a blow or tearing from a blunt instrument that causes bruises and tears in the
tissues and the edges of the wound are torn, serrated and irregular. Such wounds do not bleed much
because the blood vessels are ruptured and compressed, and the bleeding usually stops on its own, and
this type of wound is subject to severe contamination
C. Bruise: the skin does not open, but a lot of blood vessels and blood erupt and leak into the surrounding
tissues, causing bluishness.
D. Penetrating wounds occur as a result of being hit by a bullet, shrapnel from a bomb, or a spear, and they
are of two types:
1) Type 1 : They are the result of a gunshot, and it has an entrance and an exit and they
differ in shape because the entrance is small and the exit is larger and the edges of the
wound are irregular, and the diameter of the entrance varies with respect to the size of the
bullet and its speed, because the small and fast bullets have the entrance and exit smaller,
including in the case of a bullet wound Bigger and slower The gunshot wound is always
subject to contamination, and penetrating wounds in which a bone of the body is broken,
the exit is very wide and causes a large tear.
2) Type 2: They are the result of a bullet that penetrates the skin and settles in the body,
and the wound has an entrance only, and the shot is taken out by a surgical operation by a
surgeon.
E. Abrasive wounds: an abrasion on the skin surface and the damage is minor.
3. Wound Treatment:
A. STOP the bleeding and prevent contamination of the wound by placing a sterile dressing, if possible, or as
clean as possible on it, and then tying it with a tight compression bandage.

B. Preventing increased bleeding by not moving the affected organ.
C. Treatment of nervous shock.
D. Keep the wound clean in the following manner:
1) Cover the wound with a field band as soon as possible to prevent it from being contaminated with
germs and thus speeding up its healing because wound infection often leads to the loss of life.
2) Do not attempt to wipe or remove foreign bodies from the wound with your hands. Wash with soap
and water if you are able to do so only, then put the dressing on it and tie it as it is.
3) Prevent air from entering the chest cavity, as it presses on the lung, causing it to atrophy, and the
patient cannot breathe, and death occurs to avoid this, quickly cover it with a field bandage and
press it with an adhesive bandage, a blanket, or a pillow.
4) Place the victim on the affected side to relax the lung and reduce breathing in it, and to remove
fluids that collect inside the chest cavity from the wound.
4. Bandages to be used: If the wound is deep and bleeding heavily, it needs to put a filling inside the wound. In
emergency cases, clean paper can be used to cover the wounds. The first thing that must be done is to put pressure
on the wound to stop the bleeding, and then use one of the following bands:
A. The field bandage or field bandage (the way to use it as in the figure below).
B. bomb strap
C. Any other suitable things, such as using cloth-curtains, shirt napkins, or any other clean piece of cloth
5. Symptoms and signs of wound infection: The reproduction of germs and their reproduction in wounds occurs
quickly because they find in the blood clots good food that helps them to grow and reproduce, and the contaminated
wound is considered inflamed and the following signs and symptoms appear:
A. Edema of the surrounding tissues and edges of the wound.
B. Redness of the surrounding skin
C. High temperature above the normal level around the wound.
D. Pain as a result of edema
E. Appearance of pus: it is made up of necrosed white blood cells and bacteria.
When injured, there is always a possibility of normal human flora manifesting into an infection with
tetanus or gaseous death, and these two cases are very dangerous.
The infected wound site could take time to heal.
After healing, it can leave a scar; may appear like a dewy mark in the skin (keloid), and described as
‘ugly’ due to misshapen appearance depending on infection state and bacterial growth.
Proper hygiene and care can also promote to better healing results on affected area.
