First aid scenarios please?!
Question:
First aid scenarios please?
k i need as many first aid scenarios as possible for a first aid course, something like Nick is an 18 year old male hiking in the woods with his friends, he trips on a root of a tree sticking out of the ground, his shin bone is poking out of the skin, and is bleeding profusely. What should you do? but you can make it more or less detailed whatever you want. Thanks
Answers:
pt: bob is a 26yo m w/ no hx of allergies or heart conditions.
scene size up: mva on the left side of a 5 lane hwy, medium traffic flow. cops have already secured location and fire services is cutting bob out of the front seat of his green ford explorer, which is upside down. you note starburst patterns on the drivers side windshield. pt was not wearing seatbelt.
injuries/details: +loc, two compound fractures to the distal end of the tibias, suspected c-spine break, and he's hemorrhaging from below the left femoral artery- part of the steeringwheel broke off and tore open his thigh.
what do you do after he's extricated from the vehicle and you've secured his airway (a from abc's)?
