Warm-up • Complete a warm up drill sheet • Match the injury with the best description provided • Try to fill out as much as you can by yourself • Let’s see what you already know!
Types of Wounds • Glance at the worksheet handed out • “avulsion”= a forcible tearing away or separation of a bodily structure or part as the result of injury • Ex: think of a shark bite, such as in the movie “Soul Surfer” • How many of these have you experienced yourself, or seen?
Vocabulary • Immobilize: to secure, not allow movement • Vigilance: to be aware of surroundings and watchful for danger • Proactive: to control an expected happening
Treatment for wounds • General 1st Aid for wounds: • Stop the bleeding • Prevent infection
Choking • Caused by an obstructed airway • Meaning something is preventing normal breathing • Ex: getting a hot dog chunk stuck in the throat • Universal sign • Abdominal thrusting • Frequently referred to as the Heimlich Maneuver (scientifically called reverse peristalsis)
Procedures to assist • 1) Look for signs of distress/trouble breathing • 2) Ask if they are choking -if they say anything, they are not choking -ask if you can help -ask “are you pregnant?” If they refuse help, you cannot help!! • 3) Stand behind them, legs apart in lunge position • If they pass out, they will fall back onto you
4)Wrap arms around torso (1 fist, the other hand rests on top) -Hands should be below the sternum and above the navel (belly button) • 5) Push interlocked hands up and inward to force item out of throat Why do we NOT want the hands along the sternum? Why do we place the force on the “belly area”?
Role play practice • Within your groups, pretend to treat someone who is in distress • Choking • Wounds • DO NOT , DO NOT PERFORM REAL HEIMLICH MANEUVER ON YOUR CLASSMATES
Closure • Let’s review some of the terms discussed today • Injuries and basic treatments • Why is it important to know how to treat certain wounds?
