    This document provides information on first aid techniques including dressing wounds, applying bandages, and performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). It describes how to properly apply dressings to wounds to prevent infection. It outlines different types of bandages including triangular bandages, elastic bandages, and gauze bandages. It details how to perform CPR, which involves chest compressions combined with rescue breathing to help circulate blood and provide oxygen when someone's heartbeat or breathing has stopped. CPR should be performed at a rate of 100 compressions per minute until emergency services arrive.

    Dressing, Bandaging and

    Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation


    GROUP 6 (BSCE 2A)
    Introduction
    Proper dressing, bandaging, and
    transporting victims are skills that can
    come handy when helping wounded
    victims in an accident.
    DRESSING
    Is a sterile pad applied directly on a
    wound to protect it from infection. A
    dressing, also called a compress, is
    an immediate protective cover over
    a wound to assist in the control of
    hemorrhage, to absorb blood.
    DRESSING

    Wound
    Is an unintentional injury that requires first aid to speed up the healing
    process. It is characterized by a cut or a break on the skin.

    Bandage
    Is any piece of cloth used to hold a dressing in place.
    Types of bandage
    Triangular Bandage Elastic Bandage
    - is used as a narrow-fold bandage where the Is a long strip of stretchable cloth that you
    broad-fold bandage is folded in half to suppress can wrap around a sprain or strain
    the bleeding and provide support to a lower limb
    injury. Gauze Bandage
    - 2 Phases of bandaging
    • Open Phase – is used for wounds on top and Is used to hold a dressing in place on a wound,
    back of the head, chest, back, hand, and foot maintain pressure over a bulky pad to control
    • Cravat Phase – is used for wounds that need bleeding, support an injured limb or joint, and
    extra support like wound in the eye, forehead, apply pressure to a limb.
    ear, jaw, arm, leg, elbow, and knee.

    Trivia
    Friedrich von Esmarch (born Jan.
    9, 1823, Tönning, Schleswig-
    Holstein [Germany]—died Feb.
    23, 1908, Kiel, Ger.) was a
    German surgeon who is best
    known for his contributions to
    military surgery, including his
    introduction of the use of the first-
    aid bandage on the battlefield.
    Techniques in
    Applying Triangular
    Bandage
    The triangular bandage's versatility allowed it to
    be folded in multiple configurations known as
    CRAVAT, serving various purposes such as
    serving as slings, wound covers, or pads to help
    control bleeding, making them essential
    components of first aid kits for immobilizing
    limbs, supporting injuries, and manage bleeding
    effectively.
    Techniques in Applying Triangular Bandage
    • Head Top
    • Chest Bandage
    • Hand bandage
    • Underarm Sling
    • Cravat Bandage for forehead
    • Cravat bandage for the cheeks or ears
    • Cravat for Elbow
    • Cravat for the Knee
    • Shoulder Armpit Cravat
    Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
     This is a combination of chest compression and rescue breathing. This must be
    combine effective resuscitation for the victim of cardiac arrest.

    CHEST COMPRESSION: is the act of applying pressure to someone’s chest


    in order to help blood flow through the heart in an
    emergency situation
    RESCUE BREATHING: a technique of breathing air into a person to
    supplement oxygen needed to survive

     CPR is a livesaving technique useful in many emergencies, including a heart attack or


    near drowning, in which someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped.
    High quality CPR:

    • Push HARD, push FAST. Allow to complete chest recoil


    after each compression
    • Rate at least 100/min (staying alive)
    • Compression Depth at least 2 inches (5 cm)
    • Minimize interruption
    • Avoid excessive ventilation
    • Switch provider every to minutes
    When to stop CPR

    SPONTANEOUS signs of circulation are restored


    TURNED over to medical service or properly trained and authorized
    personnel
    OPERATOR OR RESCUER is already exhausted and cannot continue
    CPR
    PHYSICIAN assumes responsibility (declares DEATH/take over)
    SCENE became unsafe
    SIGNED waver to stop CPR
    Advice from the American Heart Association
    • Untrained. If you’re not trained in CPR, then provide hands-only CPR. That means
    uninterrupted chest compression of 100 to 120 a minute until paramedics arrive. You
    don’t need to try rescue breathing.
    • Trained and ready to go. If you’re well-trained and confident in your ability, check to
    see if there is a pulse or breathing. If there’s no breathing or a pulse within 10 seconds,
    begin chest compressions. Start CPR with chest compressions before giving two rescue
    breaths.
    • Trained but rusty. If you’ve previously received CPR training but you’re not confident
    in your abilities, then just do chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 a minute.
    Before starting CPR, check:
    1. Is the environment safe for the person?
    2. Is the person conscious or unconscious?
    3. If the person appears conscious, tap or shake his/her
    shoulder and ask loudly “Are you OK?”
    4. If the person doesn’t respond and two other people are
    available, have one person call 911m or the local emergency
    number and get the AED, if one is available, and have the
    other person begin CPR.
    5. If you are alone and have immediate access to a telephone,
    call 911 or the local emergency number before beginning
    CPR. Get the AED, if one is available.
    6. As soon as an AED is available, deliver one shock if
    instructed by the device, then begin CPR.
    The American Heart Association uses the letters C-A-B to help people remember
    the order to perform the steps of CPR
