2. Learning objectives (P5, M5, D1) • Pass – All pupils will deal with casualties suffering from three different injuries through role play with teacher support. • Merit - Most pupils will deal with casualties suffering from three different injuries through role play, and can explain how they would administer treatment without teacher support. • Distinction – Some pupils will deal with casualties suffering from three different injuries through role play, and can explain how they would administer treatment without teacher support. Some pupils will begin to explore why participants are at risk of injury whilst taking part in sport.

3. Sidney Brown and Stan Bayliss • Sidney Brown ruptured a kidney after tackling an Aberavon player and although he returned to the field of play, he died the next day. • Stan Bayliss dislocated his neck in a tackle against Old Blues in 1925. He was paralysed from the chest down and died a week later from respiratory failure. • Both deaths were accidental but the report did highlight the catastrophic injuries that could occur from participating in sport.

4. Today we will focus on treating… • Severe bruising • A Fractured bone • An unconscious patient who is breathing

5. Bruising - Symptoms • An “ache-like” pain in the injured area • Able to move limbs fairly freely, though perhaps with a little pain • Able to move from the playing area independently, or with some assistance

6. Bruising - Treatment STOP PLAYING IMMEDIATELY

7. Bruising - Treatment • REST – Ensure the person stops activity immediately. • ICE – Apply ice to the injured area. • COMPRESSION – Add pressure to the injured area. This could be done with a bandage. • ELEVATION – Lift the injured area above the heart.

8. Fractures – The Symptoms • Severe pain around the injured area • Swelling • Instant bruising • The bone may stick out or bend in a strange way • Patient may be pale and/or feel sick or light-headed.

9. Fractures - Treatment • Remove any further dangers from the casualty – MAKE THE AREA SAFE • Stop the patient from moving as much as possible. It may help to use a jumper or coat to ‘pack’ around the body part • Call 999 • Make sure that the patient is warm and keep talking to them

10. Unconscious Patient (Breathing) - Symptoms • The patient does not respond to activity, touch, sound or any other stimulation

11. Unconscious Patient (Breathing) - Treatment • CALL 999 • Check the person’s ABC (airway, breathing and circulation/pulse) • If the person is breathing, and you do not think there is a spinal injury, place in the recovery position
