This document discusses dressing and bandages for wounds. It describes different types of dressings like sterile cloths, cold compresses, and bandages. It explains that bandaging has two phases: securing the ends and regularly checking for swelling. Finally, it provides instructions for managing wounds, hematomas, and open wounds with bleeding through rest, ice, compression, elevation, direct pressure, elevation of the injured part, sterile dressings, and consulting a physician.

18. TWO PHASES OF BANDAGING

19. -Always keep the ends

20. 5. Since most injuries swell, check
regularly to ensure that the bandage
is still comfortable and that it
remains firmly secured.
6. Secure the bandage with a tape,
clips or a bow or square not. Ensure
that the bandages, especially the
knots, do not touch the skin.

25. How to Manage Wounds:
A. For management of hematoma, we use the mnemonic RICE:
1. Resting the injured part
2. Ice application
3. Compression
4. Elevation
B. First Aid for Open Wounds with Severe Bleeding
1. Wear gloves and remove or cut clothing as necessary to expose wound.
2. Control bleeding by applying direct pressure.
3. Elevate the injured part above the heart except for eye injury and wounds
with embedded object.
4. Cover wound with sterile dressing and bandage.
5. Care for shock.
6. Consult a physician immediately.
