Wounds and bleeding
1.
2.
3. Wounds may be classified by several methods;
their etiology, location, type of injury or presenting
symptoms, wound depth and tissue loss or clinical
appearance of the wound.
5. In open wounds, the skin is cracked
open, leaving the underlying tissue
exposed to the outside environment,
which makes it more vulnerable to
bleeding and infections.
open (penetrating trauma).
8. Abrasions: These are shallow irregular
wounds of the upper layers of skin, due to skin
brushing with either a rough surface or a
smooth surface at high speed (running);
usually present with minor to no bleeding,
with some pain that subsides shortly after
initial injury.
Lacerations: These wounds are tear-like
wounds with irregularly torn edges that are
usually deeper than abrasions and cause more
pain and bleeding. Lacerations are generally
caused by trauma or contact with an object;
such as hard blows, collusions or accidents.
Incisions: These are most likely the result of
a surgical procedure or skin cut with a sharp
object; like scalpels, knives and scissors.
Incisions are mostly linear in shape with sharp,
smooth edges.
9. Punctures: These are small rounded wounds
that result from objects with thin pointed tips;
such as needles, nails or other tapered objects,
and teeth, in cases of human or animal bites.
The wound size, depth, bleeding and pain are
directly related to the size and force of the
causative object
Gunshot wounds: These are considered to
be penetrating wounds that are exclusively
caused by bullets from firearms . The entrance
wounds may have burn marks or soot on the
edges and surrounding tissue, depending on
the distance from which the bullet was fired.
11. closed (blunt trauma)
Closed wounds are usually caused by
direct blunt trauma sustained when
falling down or in motor vehicle
accidents. Even with the skin intact, the
damage can reach down to the
underlying muscle, internal organs and
bones.
12. DANGERS OF WOUNDS:
• BLEEDING
• INFECTION
AIMS OF FIRST
AID:
STOP BLEEDING.
MINIMISE GERMS ENTERING THE
WOUND
GERMS COME
FROM:
• OBJECT CAUSING THE WOUND.
• HANDS OF THE FIRST AIDER.
• CLOTHES OF THE PATIENT.
• DIRTY DRESSING.
• AIR.
• CONTAMINATED WATER.
MANAGEMENT:
STOP BLEEDING.
HANDLE GENTLY.
WASH YOUR HANDS
THOROUGHLY.
REMOVE ANY FOREIGN BODY, IF
POSSIBLE.
DO NOT REMOVE EMBEDDED
OBJECTS.
DON’T DISTURB BLOOD CLOTS.
PLACE CLEAN DRESSING &
BANDAGE FIRMLY.
SHIFT TO HOSPITAL.
16. TYPES OF BLEEDING:
EXTERNAL BLEEDING
Outside the body when blood moves through a break in the skin
INTERNAL BLEEDING
Inside the body when blood leaks
from blood vessels or organs
EXTERNAL BLEEDING
17. ARTERIAL BLEEDING:
BLOOD COMES FROM AN ARTERY.
BLOOD IS BRIGHT RED IN COLOUR.
BLOOD COMES IN JETS & IT
CORRESPONDS TO HEART BEAT.
BLOOD LOSS IS RAPID & PROFUSE &
CAN CAUSE DEATH QUICKLY
CLASSIFICATION
of bleeding:
18. VENOUS BLEEDING:
BLOOD COMES FROM A VEIN.
BLOOD IS DARK RED IN COLOUR.
BLOOD FLOWS AS A CONTINUOUS
STREAM & MAY BE PROFUSE.
CLASSIFICATION
of bleeding:
21. DIRECT PRESSURE.
ELEVATION.
INDIRECT PRESSURE ON PRESSURE POINTS.
BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF.
22. DIRECT PRESSURE:
CAN BE APPLIED BY:
FIRST AIDER’S HAND.
DRESSING & FIRST AIDER’S HAND.
PRESSURE DRESSING.
PRESSURE TO BE APPLIED FOR 10 TO 30 MINUTES.
AFTER CONTROL, APPLY FIRM BANDAGE.
Don’t remove dressing
23. NOT TO BE USED IN CASES OF
FRACTURES & SPINAL INJURIES.
GRAVITY HELPS TO LOWER BLOOD
PRESSURE & BLEEDING IS SLOWED.
ELEVATION
Used the same time as direct pressure
Above the level of the heart
24. •DO NOT peek at a wound to see if the bleeding is stopping. The less a wound is
disturbed, the more likely it is that you'll be able to control the bleeding
•DO NOT probe a wound or pull out any embedded object from a wound. This
will usually cause more bleeding and harm
•DO NOT remove a dressing if it becomes soaked with blood. Instead, add a new
one on top
•DO NOT try to clean a large wound. This can cause heavier bleeding
•DO NOT try to clean a wound after you get the bleeding under control. Get
medical help
DO NOT
25. PRESSURE POINTS:
PRESSURE POINT IS A SITE WHERE MAIN ARTERY LIES NEAR THE SURFACE OF
THE BODY, DIRECTLY OVER A BONE.
PULSATION CAN BE FELT IN THESE AREAS.
THERE ARE 22 PRESSURE POINTS(11 ON EACH SIDE).
OF THESE 11 ARE USED TO CONTROL PROFUSE BLEEDING.
BRACHIAL ARTERY - FOR BLEEDING FROM UPPER LIMB.
FEMORAL ARTERY - FOR BLEEDING FROM LOWER LIMB.
CAROTID ARTERY - FOR BLEEDING FROM NECK.
TEMPORAL ARTERY - FOR BLEEDING FROM SCALP.
FACIAL ARTERY - FOR BLEEDING FROM FACE.
SUB CLAVIAN ARTERY - FOR BLEEDING FROM CHEST
WALL & ARMPIT
29. 1. Have patient sit down and lean forward
2. Apply or instruct patient to apply direct pressure
3. Keep patient quiet and calm
4. Do not let patient lean back
5. Position patient on side of unconscious
Special situations epistaxis
30. NOTE:
PRESSURE POINT TECHNIQUE IS USED ONLY
AFTER DIRECT PRESSURE & ELEVATION FAILS TO
CONTROL BLEEDING.
RELAX THE MUSCLES OF THAT AREA, WHICH
WILL HELP IN APPLYING PRESSURE BETTER.
CONTINUE PRESSURE TILL BLEEDING IS
CONTROLLED OR TILL MEDICAL HELP ARRIVES.
RELEASE PRESSURE ONCE IN 15 MINUTES AND
REAPPLY.
SPLINTING
INFLATABLE SPLINTS
BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF
TOURNIQUET : APPLIED AS A LAST RESORT, AS
IN CASES OF AMPUTATION, ETC.
32. THIS IS SUSPECTED WHEN YOU DETECT:

PAIN & TENDERNESS OVER THE AFFECTED AREA.
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF SHOCK.

35. MANAGEMENT:
LAY THE CASUALTY DOWN, WITH HEAD LOW & TO ONE SIDE, SO AS TO
ENSURE GOOD BLOOD SUPPLY TO THE BRAIN.
RAISE THE LEGS IF THERE IS NO FRACTURE.
CONTROL ALL SERIOUS EXTERNAL BLEEDING.
LOOSEN CONSTRICTIVE CLOTHING.
REASSURE.
CHECK VITAL SIGNS & RESPONSIVENESS AT 10 MINUTES INTERVALS &
RECORD.
IF UNCONSCIOUS, ENSURE OPEN AIRWAY & RESUSCITATE IF NEEDED.
