3. Wound Management
Immediate treatment should be taken
Always wear protective gloves
Observe for signs of infection

4. Signs of Infection
Signs of Infection
–Pain
–Swelling
–Redness
–Heat
–Loss of function
–Fever
–Puss formation

5. Punctures
A small hole in tissue
Object pierces the skin
External bleeding limited
Internal damage may cause bleeding
caused by nails, needles and other pointed
objects.

6. Abrasions
Outer layers of skin damaged
Infection can occur
Bleeding is limited due to rupture of small veins
and capillaries
caused by rubbing or scraping the skin against a
rough surface

7. Incision
Wound with smooth sides/edges
Severe bleeding can exist
 a cut caused by knife, broken glass or any
sharp object

8. Avulsions
Forcible separation or tearing of tissue
from the body
Bleeding occurs immediately
a forcible tearing or partial tearing
away of tissues

9. Laceration
Jagged, irregular tear of soft
tissue
 a blunt breaking or tearing of
soft tissues

10. Blisters
Develop with friction to an area
Typical to foot or hand
Fluid accumulates under the skin
Blood vessels broken; “blood blister” forms

11. Blister Treatment
2 types of treatment
–Pop blister
–Cover without popping

12. Calluses
Formed over a period of time
Typically on foot or hand where bone is
right underneath skin
Excessive formation could be a problem

13. 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.

14. First Aid for Open Wounds with Severe Bleeding
