Study Notes

First Aid, CPR, AED Foundations

Infection risk can be minimized through proper protocols and hygiene practices.
Use latex-free disposable gloves before providing care to reduce risk of disease transmission.

Emergency Situations

Recognizing an emergency includes observing signs like unresponsiveness and visible injuries, such as bleeding.
The risk of infection remains low but can be further reduced by using a face shield and pocket mask along with gloves.

Emergency Action Steps

Safety first: Always check the scene for safety before approaching in an emergency.
Position responsive but unalert individuals in a recovery position to prevent choking and aspiration.

When tending to a minor, always obtain consent from a guardian before intervening.
For an unresponsive individual, use the shout-tap-shout method to check for responsiveness and assess breathing and severe bleeding.

Critical First Aid Procedures

In cases of severe injury where the person declines help, it's crucial to call 9-1-1 or direct someone else to do so.
Use the SAM technique (Allergies, Signs and Symptoms, Medications) to gather critical information from responsive individuals prior to treating them.

Focused Assessments

Conduct a focused examination of injured areas based on reported symptoms, such as pain and swelling.
Asking targeted questions helps determine necessary care and captures important information that may be lost over time.

Communicating in Emergencies

Directly instruct a specific individual to call 9-1-1, ensuring clear communication under stress.
