Priorities:
1. Check breathing and heart rate.
2. Stop bleeding.
3. Bandage wounds.
4. Splint fractures.
5. Treat shock.
Do not move the victim unless it is a life
threatening situation!
DRABC:
• Check for danger
• Check for response (consciousness)
• Check the airway-no blockages
• Check for breathing
• Give CPR
Are they responding?
3. Make sure they are alive and breathing.
Is the airway clear?
Remove any clogging from the throat or mouth.
Are they breathing?
Make sure they are conscious and breathing.
Kiss “O” Life Wear gloves!!!!
1. Lay the victim on their back.
2. Gently tilt head back.
3. Pinch nostrils closed and open their mouth.
4. Blow firmly into victim’s mouth.
5. If there are no signs of life, begin CPR.
CPR
1. Position victim on their back and place the heel of
you hand on their breastbone and the other hand on
top of it.
2. Press down one third of chest’s depth.
3. Press thirty times then give two breaths.
4. Continue five times in two minutes.
Bleeding and Injury
4. Apply pressure for five to fifteen minutes with out
checking the wound, as you do so keep one eye on their
state of mind. Use a cloth or gauze pad. Raise the
injured area above the heart. Squeeze the edges of a
gaping wound before applying the pad. Apply a
restrictive bandage only if the victim is likely to bleed
to death.
Continues
Bleeding and injury continued
To make a restrictive bandage tie a tight cloth around
the wound tightening it until a pulse can’t be felt below
the wound. Do not leave the bandage for more than
twenty five minutes. If you don’t have a tie, apply
pressure in a pulse spot like the side of the jaw, wrist,
armpit, top of shoulder, temples, top of thighs by
groin, knee pit, in the front of the ankles, and the
elbows. Find the pulse spot closest to the wound and
press it hard in to the bone.
Soap, rubbing alcohol, and fresh urine make good
antiseptics.
5. Internal bleeding is shown by clammy skin, rapid
pulse, restlessness, and rapid bruising under the skin;
elevate area.
Breaks
• Do not move injured limb.
• Make a splint for the injured limb.
• Wait for help to come.
Burns
• Run cold water over the burn.
• Try not to break any blisters that form.
Give the victim lots of water to drink and remove
any jewelry or clothing unless it is stuck to the
burn. Do not apply ointment. Put non-adhesive
dressings around the entire burn to avoid
everything from sticking together.
Shock
Symptoms:
• Loss of color from lips
• Dizziness
• Vomiting
6. • Rapid pulse
• Cold and clammy skin
Reassure the victim and talk to them. Use their
name frequently. Keep then warm and check
their breathing and pulse. Elevate legs (if not
fractured). Be ready to give CPR if they start to
fall unconscious.
Bites and Stings
Most bites and stings are unpleasant and painful
but don’t need first aid. Creams, oils, and sprays
will help bee and wasp stings.
If someone is allergic,
it is very important
that you contact help
as soon as possible!!!
