1. OPEN WOUND
&
BLEEDING
Prepared by
Staff development unit

2. WOUND
An injury to living tissue caused by a cut,
blow, or other impact, typically one in
which the skin is cut or broken.

3. OPEN WOUND
An open wound is an injury involving an
external (or) external & internal break in body
tissue, usually involving the skin.

4. TYPES OF OPEN
WOUND
• INCISION
• LACERATION
• ABRASION
• AVULSIONS
• PUNCTURE
• PENETRATION
• AMPUTATION

5. INCISION
Refers to a clean cut in the skin caused by a
sharp object such as a knife, shard of glass, or
razor blade.
.

6. Characteristics of incision
wound
• The edges are clean cut,
well defined
• The length is greater
than its width and depth
• Contusion and abrasion
are absent
• Incisions bleed a lot and
quickly.
• Deep incision can
damage tendons,
ligaments, and muscles.

7. LACERATION
It is wound that occurs when skin, tissue, and or
muscle is torn or cut open by some sharp or blunt
object trauma.
Eg: wound from sharp piece of metal protruding
from a play equipment.

8. Characteristics of
Laceration wound
• Margins usually abraded
• Edges irregular
• Depth uneven
• The bleeding may be
rapid and extensive.

9. ABRASION
Occurs when the skin is scraped off due to
rubbing against a rough surface.
Road rash is an example of an abrasion.

10. Characteristics of
abrasion
• Superficial damage to skin (no
deeper than epidermis)
• Less severe than a laceration
• Usually do not scar or bleed, but
deep abrasions may lead to the
formation of scar tissue.
• Bleeding occurs when deeper
layer of skin is scarped off

OBJECT LEFT IN THE

Clean with anti septic
solution (eg.Betadine)

sterile bandage

IMMUNIZATION RECORD
FOR CURRENT TETANUS
CONTACT RESPONSIBLE SCHOOL
AUTHORITIES & PARENT OR LEGAL
GUARDIAN
Call 112
If the wound involve the face, head,
chest, abdomen and longer than 1/2
inch, deep, or bleeding heavily, may
require stitches

13. PUNCTURE WOUND,
PENETRATING WOUND &
AVULSION
Prepared by
Staff development unit

14. 1. PUNCTURE WOUND
 A puncture wound is caused by a pointed object , such
as a nail, pencil, piece of glass or knife pierces the skin.
Some punctures are just on the surface. Others can be
very deep, depending on the source and cause.

15. PUNCTURE WOUND CONTD…
 If the object remaining in the body part ,it
do not bleed a lot, they can easily become
infected.
 The object that remains embedded is
called an impaled object

16. FIRST AID MANAGEMENT
( IMPALED OBJECT)
 Do not touch or move any objects that impaled the body.
 Immobilize the victim
 Call the ambulance
 Remind about the
vaccination status

17. FIRST AID MANAGEMENT
 If the punctured object not remaining , it will leads severe
bleeding according to the pierced object & affected body part.
 Apply pressure directly and elevate the part to control
the bleeding.
 Apply pressure in pressure points
 Call emergency (112)

18. FIRST AID MANAGEMENT CONTD…
 Don’t wash with water & not to use any ointment.
 If very emergency use tourniquet to stop bleeding.
(exception)

19. PENETRATING INJURY
 Penetrating injury is an injury that occurs when an
object pierces the skin and enters a tissue of the body,
creating an open wound.

20. FIRST AID MANAGEMENT
 Do not move objects.
 Immobilize the victim
 Stabilize the object & Control bleeding
around them.
 Control bleeding by supporting either
side of the object but not directly to the
object.

21. FIRST AID MANAGEMENT CONTD…
 Protect the object by –padding on
either side and gauze drape.
 Call the ambulance

22. Wear gloves when exposed to
blood or other body fluids
Object remaining in the
body part (impaled object)
Object not remaining in the
body part
Impaled object not
visible in outside
Impaled object
visible outside
DO NOT REMOVE OBJECT.
Wrap bulky dressing around object to
support it.
Try to calm student.
Is the object
large/deep
wound/wound
bleeding freely
Inform vice
principal,
parent,
supervisors &
school Doctor
YES NO
Check &Remind about the
vaccination (DT) status
Call 112
DO NOT TRY TO PROBE OR SQUEEZE.
•Wash the wound gently with water.
•Check to make sure the object left
nothing in the wound.
•Cover with a clean bandage

Puncture/Penetrate wound
A Puncture/Penetrate wound is
caused when a pointed object, such
as splinters, a nail, pencil, piece of
glass, or knife pierces the skin
Small/shallow (eg. Pencil
led)
Gently remove with thump
forceps, Do dressing

23. AVULSION
 Avulsion is a forcible separation of soft tissue, in
which at least all three layer of the skin partially or
completely torn away.
 A partially avulsed piece of skin may remain but hangs
like a flap.

24. FIRST AID FOR AVULSION
 Stop bleeding: close the flab, apply pressure over the part
with gauze and do bandaging.
 Elevate the affected part
 Apply pressure over the pressure
points
 Call ambulance
 If any dust or contaminated particle present inside , flush the area
gently with normal saline and cover the wound.

25. AMPUTATION
 Amputation is a form of avulsion , which is the removal
of part of a body (or) all body part that is enclosed by
skin.

26. IMMEDIATE FIRST AID
 Apply pressure on the site to stop bleeding by using
gauze bandage
 Elevate the affected part
 Call the emergency
 Protect the amputated part

27. IMMEDIATE FIRST AID CONTD…
 How to protect the amputated part
 Don’t try to clean it, but handle it with clean hands,
gloves.
 Keep inside a plastic bag
 Cover the plastic bag with a gauze
 Keep the bag inside the ice.
 Write name , civil id and send with emergency team

32. Minor Cuts and
Scrapes
1. Wear gloves and remove
clothing: Wash with running
water/normal saline
2. Apply direct pressure with
fingers/palm. For 10 minutes
3. If available, apply antibiotic
ointment to the wound, Do
pressure dressing
4. Raise the injured part above
the heart level.

33. Minor Cuts and Scrapes
Call the emergency if:
 You can’t stop the bleeding.
 If wound is gaping, student may need stitches
 You see signs of fracture.
 You suspect an injury to the head, neck or
spine.

34. Major Cuts and Scrapes
 Control bleeding (DPEPT)
 Prevent the minimize the effect of shock (head
low, elevate the foot)
 Don’t allow the student to eat or drink because
an anesthetic may be needed
 Antibiotic ointment is NOT advised.
 Don’t clean with water and soap.
 Call 112
