  2. Planning for an emergency 2 • Access to a phone • Who will care for the children? • First aid box • Children’s record forms • Fire escape plan • Instructions for the parents • List of important phone numbers

  3. P P P The aims of first aid Preserve Life Prevent Worsening Promote Recovery

  4. D R A B C Priorities of treatment – Primary survey 3 Danger Response Airway Breathing Circulation

  5. D Danger? YES Remove Danger R NO Response? NO Help! A Open Airway B Normal Breathing? NO Call 999/112 Now If the casualty is a child and you have to leave them, do 1 minute of CPR first. Resuscitation 30 to 2 • For a child or baby – give 5 initial rescue breaths. • Give cycles of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths. • Only stop to recheck the child if they start to wake upAND start breathing normally. Resuscitation flow chart 4

  6. D R A B Resuscitation 6-13 Danger Response Airway Breathing Normally?

  7. Resuscitation 6-13 WARNING: “In the first few minutes after cardiac arrest, a casualty may be barely breathing, or taking infrequent, noisy gasps. These are known as ‘agonal’ gasps, and should not be confused with normal breathing.” If you are in doubt, start CPR.

  8. Child and baby CPR 10-13 First aiders can use the adult sequence of resuscitation on a child or baby who is unresponsive and not breathing.

  9. Give five initial rescue breaths before starting chest compressions Compress the chest by at least one-third of its depth: For a child over 1 year,use one or two handsto achieve an adequate depth For a babyunder 1 year, use two fingers Child and baby CPR 10-13 The following minor modifications to the adult sequence will, however, make it even more suitable for use in children: If you are on your own, perform resuscitation for about 1 minute before going for help

  44. Concussion Compression Serious head injuries 34 Could have a history of recent head injury with apparent recovery, but then deteriorates. Unconsciousness for a short period, followed by an increase in levels of response and recovery. Levels of response become worse as condition develops. Short term memory loss (particularly of the incident). Confusion, irritability. Mild, general headache. Intense headache. Pale, clammy skin. Flushed, dry skin. Shallow / normal breathing. Deep, noisy, slow breathing. (Pressure on the respiratory control area of the brain) Slow, strong pulse. (Caused by raised blood pressure) Rapid, weak pulse. (Blood diverts away from the extremities) Normal pupils, reacting to light. One or both pupils dilate as pressure increases on the brain. Condition becomes worse. Fits may occur. No recovery. Possible nausea or vomiting on recovery.
