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.
Consent and Responsiveness
- 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.
