6
SCOPE OF FIRST AIDFrom the definition four things are apparent :
PREVENT further deterioration
PRESERVE in the same condition
PROMOTE recovery
To arrange for regular Medical AID
7
METHOD OF FIRST AID
Diagnosis
Treatment
Disposal
8
DIAGNOSIS BASED ON
Circumstantial Evidence
Signs
Symptoms (Patient tells)
(you observe)
9
PRIORITIES OF FIRST AID Check BreathingCheck Blood lossTreat ShockTreat FractureLook For Simple InjuriesDisposal
10
BREATHING PROCESS
11
CHECK BREATHING
Can Hear It
Can Feel It
Can Observe It
(Normal Person Breathes 15-18 Times In One Minute)
12
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION
Mouth To Mouth
Mouth To Nose@ 10 Breaths Per Minute
& Check Pulse
Give 2 ventilations if there is no breathing
13
CHEST COMPRESSION(Give 30 Compression if there is no Circulation)
14
RECOVERY POSITION (In case of unconscious casualty)
15
BLEEDING (HAMEORRAGE)
Blood Contains
About 5 Litres in a normal body
- Red cells
- White cells- Plasma
16
BLOOD CIRCULATES THROUGH
Arteries Carry Blood from Heart to body
Capillaries Small Blood Vessels
Veins Carry Blood Back to Heart

HOW TO CHECK BLEEDING ? (HAEMORRHAGE)Direct Pressure
Indirect Pressure
a) Press Near the woundb) Apply dressing
a) Press The Pressure Point Temporal Region – 2 Back of Ear – 2 Jaw – 2
Collar Bone – 2 Armpit – 2 Upper Arm – 2
Wrist – 2 Elbow-2 Sides of Abdomen – 2
Groin – 2 Back of Knee – 2 Ankle - 2Pressure bandagea) Use a roller bandage (preferably crepe bandage)b) Give support to the limb
24
INTERNAL BLEEDING Bleeding from Nose/Ears.Bleeding from Lungs with coughFrom Stomach with Vomiting
Through Urine (Bladder,Unitary track, Kidney) Through Rectum with Stool (injury in intestines)
TREATMENT Handle Carefully and transport for Medical AID
25
Impairment of Normal Functioning of Body, is Shock.
SHOCK
Two Types
a) Established Shock
b)Nervous Shock
AsphyxiaBleedingSickness
Bad/Good NewsHeat/Cold/HungerInjury to Brain/Spine
26
SHOCK : SIGNS & SYMPTOMS Discolourisation of FaceLoss of PowerSlow/weak PulseCold SweatingIrregular Breathing/Shallow breathingNausea & GiddinessClammy & Sandy SkinFall in Temperature
27
SHOCK TREATMENT Remove Cause From EffectLay down the Patient & Loose ClothingLet Fresh Air ComeReassure the PatientTry to Maintain TemperatureResort toArtificial RespirationArrange Medical Aid
28
SHOCK TREATMENT
DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING ORALLY
GIVE NORMAL HOT OR COLD WHEN PATIENT IS CONSCIOUS OR REGAINS CONSCIOUSNESS
ALWAYS SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE
