First aid
The aims of first aid
P
reserve Life
Not only the casualty's life, but your own as well. Far too often only one person's life
is in danger when the emergency services are called, but by the time they arrive there
are more. If you put your life in danger, you can end up fighting for your OWN life
instead of the casualty's
.
P
revent the situation from Worsening
The skilled first a
i
der must take action to prevent the whole situation from becoming
worse (e.g. removing dangers such as trafic or fumes), as well as acting to prevent the
casualty's condition from deteriorating.
P
romote Recovery
The actions of a first aider should, after preventing things from getting worse, help
the casua
l
ty to recover from their illness or injury.
Priorities of treatment
All animal life needs a constant
supply of oxygen to survive. If
that oxygen is token away for
any reason, brain cells will start
to die within
3
to
4
minutes.
The first priority with any patient is to make sure the Airway is open and then to check they
are Breathing normally
(A
and
B
)
.
If the patient is breathing normally, this means that their
heart must also be bea
t
ing, so blood is being circulated around the body. As the A and B
check is carried
out first,
we call it
the
primary survey
'
.
Once you are happy that the casualty is Breathing normally and oxygen is being circulated
around the body, the next priority is to deal with any major Bleeding, because you need to
maintain enough blood to circulate the oxygen around. After these steps, the next priority
is to deal with any broken Bones
(
BB8
)
. The check for bleeding and then broken bones is
called the
'secondary suvey'.
The priorities of treatment ore
therefore aimed firstly at getting
oxygen into the blood stream,
ensuring that the blood is
circulating around the bod, and
then preventing the loss of that
blood. If this aim is achieved, then
the majority of casualties will still be
olive when the ambulance a
r
rives.

MuWp/e casualties
The
BBB
rule can be used for
multiple casualties, to decide who
needs treatment first. A rough
'
rule
of thumb
'
is that the casualty who
is the quietest needs treatment
first, where os the one making
the most noise (trying to get your
attention) is the least serious!
Emergency action plan .
It is
i
mportant to have an action plan for emergencies. This flow chart guides you through the actions to be taken when dea
l
ing with
a patient. All the topics, such as the recovery position and resuscitation are covered later in the book.
