GOAL:After the workshop, theselected Grade 6 students of

Pinalagdan ElementarySchool will be able to gainacceptable competencies inproviding first aid.

OBJECTIVES:After 3 hours of workshop, theselected Grade 6 students ofPinalagdan ElementarySchool will be able to:1. Discuss what is First Aid 1. FIRST AID:

First Aid is refers to the immediate, direct treatment of an injured person.Anyone with a basic understanding of medical treatment can administer aid at the

first signs of trouble. It includes simple procedures such as stopping of bleeding byapplying pressure, dressing a wound, treating a burn with ointment, or setting abone with a splint. Some typres of first aid, such as performing cardiopulmonaryresuscitation (CPR), require an individual to receive specialized training from anaccredited first aid program.

Many minor injuries can be overcome with simple, immediate medicalattention. For instance, a small cut, burn, or blister can be attended to bythoroughly cleaning the injury, applying a topical antibiotic cream, and covering itwith a breathable bandage. Treating bruises, muscle strains, swelling, and animalbites usually involves icing and compressing the injuries, as well as taking over-the-counter pain medications.

Some injuries require medical services beyond the average persons abilities.A person who is choking or drowning, for example, may depend on a trained

professional to administer the Heimlich maneuver or CPR. Stroke, seizure,concussion, and fracture create special challenges for immediate medical careproviders, as they are usually required to keep victims calm and conscious whiletemporarily relieving symptoms.

Successful first aid procedures can provide relief from pain anduncomfortable symptoms and prevent further damage from infections. When

treatment is administered quickly, many injuries are able to heal completely withouta visit to a doctor or emergency room. Urgent care can even mean the differencebetween life and death in situations where professional help is unavailable or slowto arrive.http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-first-aid.htm

2. IMPORTANCE OF FIRST AID TRAINING:

a. Increases safety: The basis of first aid training is "prevention". It is alwaysbetter to be safe than to be sorry. Knowledge of first aid promotes the sense ofsafety and well being amongst people, prompting them to be more alert andsafe in the surroundings they dwell in. Awareness and desire to be accidentfree keeps you more safe and secure, reducing the number of causalities andaccidents.

b. Helps save lives: If a person who is trained to give first aid administrationhappens to see any casualty in his vicinity, immediate action can be taken andlives be saved. While it is natural for most of us to rush to support any injuredperson, a trained person is more reliable, confident and in control of himselfand his actions while in trauma situations.

c. Helps relieve pain: Some injuries require a very simple solution like applyingice pack or a quick rub. A ride to the emergency room is not necessary, atleast not for some time. In such cases, calling a person trained in first aidcourses is more reliable. They can help reduce the pain by performing simpleprocedures and can help relieve pain at least temporarily.

d. Makes people more secure: Knowing that you can save your own life whenrequired, or that of the people you know or those in trauma during someemergency helps you relax more and be more secure. The sense of securitypromotes a healthy and a more confident environment around you where you

and the people around you would feel more secure. The presence of suchpeople provides reassurance to the others in the situation.

e. Prevents the situation from becoming worse: A trained person would knowhow to keep the situation from becoming bad to worse. They will providetemporary treatment which will keep the condition of the victim fromdeteriorating, till professional help arrives.Knowledge of first aid promotes a healthy, secure and a safer environment,

and instills confidence amongst people, their families, their colleagues andassociates. Basic first aid knowledge is very helpful in dealing with traumasituations. Not just the medical help they provide, but the confidence they exhibit isvery helpful during casualties. Being trained to provide first aid is useful to oneselfand society.

3. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A YOUNG MEDIC:As a Young Medic, you have your duties and responsibilities are listed as follows:a. Promote safety: as what everyone always hears, Prevention is better thancure. As a Young Medic, you should promote safety and prevent accidents from

happening. For instance, if you have noticed that there are hazardous thingsaround the school premises, report it to your teacher.b. Remind everyone: one of your duties is to constantly remind everyone that toenjoy life, one needs not to be rough. What this means is that playtimes can besafe. Remind your schoolmates, especially those who are engaging in roughgames that its always better to be safe than sorry.c. Help the injured: HELP; there is no other explanation to this. This is the mostimportant responsibility of a Young Medic. Help everyone; never choose who yougive your aid to.d. Stay calm: in times of stress, be the cool responder who does not give in topanic. Stay calm and just think of what you need to do and not think of the bloodthat you are looking at. Remember that they went to you because they know thatyou are trained to deal with minor injuries.

e. Minimize pain: injuries are painful. Pain does a lot of things to a person; itmakes them cry, scream, and shout. No one wants to be in pain. After treating theirinjury, do something about their pain. Distracting them can help in diverting theirattention. You can also let them rest for a while.f. Reduce anxiety: to the young, sight of blood can cause anxiety. Comfort themby assuring that everythings going to be fine.g. Always be available: accidents are not scheduled; therefore, they can occurany time. Make yourself available especially during recess/break time. If you cantdo so, you can have your fellow Young Medics.h. Always be prepared: youll never know when accidents will occur. Whats sureis if youre prepared, you will help a lot of people.

4. PROPER HAND WASHING:Since you will be handling open wounds and such, there is a great need for

you to practice proper hand washing in order to be safe and to not introduce andspread infection.Protect yourself

Clean your hands regularly. Wash your hands with soap and water, and dry them thoroughly. Use alcohol-based handrub if you dont have immediate access to soap

and water.

Washing your hands properly takes about as long as singing "HappyBirthday" twice, using the images below.

5. COMMON ACCIDENTS AMONG ELEMENTARY STUDENTS:In schools, there are certain accidents that occur often. Not all of the possible

injuries will be discussed. The most common accidents among the Elementarystudents, specifically in Pinalagdan ElementarySchool are as follows: Cuts and scrapes: cuts and scrapes happen

when your skin is accidentally broken or wornaway. This can be the result of a fall, bangingagainst a hard object, or being cut bysomething sharp. Children almost alwayshave some sort of minor skin damage just

from playing. Nose bleed:The nose is a part of the body rich in blood vessels (vascular)

and is situated in a vulnerable position as it protrudes on the face. As a result,trauma to the face can cause nasal injury and bleeding. The bleeding may beprofuse, or simply a minor complication. Nosebleeds can occur spontaneouslywhen the nasal membranes dry out and crack. This is common in dry climates,or during the winter months when the air is dry and warm from householdheaters.

Sprain: Ankle sprains are common sports injuries but also happen duringeveryday activities. An unnatural twisting motion of the ankle joint can happen

6. Demonstrate measures in

managing the most commonaccidents among theElementary students

when the foot is planted awkwardly, when the ground is uneven, or when anunusual amount of force is applied to the joint.

Fever: Fever refers to an elevation in body temperature. Technically, any bodytemperature above the normal oral measurement of 37 C is considered to beelevated. Fever is not considered medically significant until body temperatureis above 38 C. Anything above normal but below 38 C is considered a low-

grade fever. Fever serves as one of the body's natural defenses againstbacteria and viruses which cannot live at a higher temperature. For thatreason, low fevers should normally go untreated, unless accompanied bytroubling symptoms. Also, the body's defense mechanisms seem to work moreefficiently at a higher temperature. Fever is just one part of an il lness, manytimes no more important than the presence of other symptoms suchas cough, sore throat, fatigue, joint pains or aches, chills, nausea, etc.

Diarrhea: Diarrhea is an increase in the frequency of bowel movements or adecrease in the form of stool (greater looseness of stool). Although changes infrequency of bowel movements and looseness of stools can varyindependently of each other, changes often occur in both.Diarrhea needs to be distinguished from four other conditions. Although theseconditions may accompany diarrhea, they often have different causes and

different treatments than diarrhea. These other conditions are: Incontinence of stool, which is the inability to control (delay) bowelmovements until an appropriate time, for example, until one can get to thetoilet

Rectal urgency, which is a sudden urge to have a bowel movement that is sostrong that if a toilet is not immediately available there will be incontinence

Incomplete evacuation, which is a sensation that another bowel movement isnecessary soon after a bowel movement, yet there is difficulty passing furtherstool the second time

Bowel movements immediately after eating a mealhttp://www.medicinenet.com/

6. MANAGEMENT:After assessing the injury, perform proper washing of hands. Make this a

habit.

Cuts and scrapes: Minor cuts and scrapes usually don't require a trip tothe emergency room. Yet proper care is essential to avoid infection or

other complications.1. Stop the bleeding. Minor cuts and scrapes usually stop bleeding on their

own. If they don't, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or bandage.Hold the pressure continuously for 20 to 30 minutes and if possible elevatethe wound. Don't keep checking to see if the bleeding has stoppedbecause this may damage or dislodge the clot that's forming and causebleeding to resume. If blood spurts or continues flowing after continuous

pressure, seek medical assistance.2. Clean the wound. Rinse out the wound with clear water. Soap can irritate

the wound, so try to keep it out of the actual wound. If dirt or debrisremains in the wound after washing, use tweezers cleaned with alcohol toremove the particles. If debris still remains, see your doctor. Thoroughcleaning reduces the risk of infection and tetanus. To clean the area

around the wound, use soap and a washcloth. Hydrogen peroxide orpovidone iodine can be used when cleaning wound but should not be donefor long-term because it can delay healing.

3. Apply an antibiotic. After you clean the wound, apply a thin layer of anantibiotic cream or ointment to help keep the surface moist. The productsdon't make the wound heal faster, but they can discourage infection andhelp your body's natural healing process.

4. Cover the wound. Bandages can help keep the wound clean and keepharmful bacteria out. After the wound has healed enough to make infectionunlikely, exposure to the air will speed wound healing.

5. Change the dressing. Change the dressing at least daily or whenever itbecomes wet or dirty. Instruct the patient

6. Watch for signs of infection. Instruct the patient to watch out for slow

healing or any redness, increasing pain, drainage, warmth or swelling andgo to the Health Center if these signs and symptoms are experienced. Nose Bleed: Most people who develop nose bleeding can handle the problem

without the need of a physician if they follow the first aid recommendationsbelow:

1. Pinch all the soft parts of the nose together between your thumb and indexfinger.

2. Press firmly toward the face - compressing the pinched parts of the noseagainst the bones of the face.

3. Lean forward slightly with the head tilted forward. Leaning back or tilting thehead back allows the blood to run back into your sinuses and throat andcan cause gagging or inhaling the blood.

4. Hold the nose for at least five minutes. Repeat as necessary until the nosehas stopped bleeding.

5. Sit quietly, keeping the head higher than the level of the heart. Do not layflat or put your head between your legs.

6. Apply ice (wrapped in a towel) to nose and cheeks. Sprain: Care at home can help reduce pain and aid healing. Because most of

the pain is caused by inflammation, the goal is to reduce and preventinflammation.

Remember RICE: rest, ice, compression, and elevation.1. Rest prevents further injury and avoids stress on al ready inflamed tissue.

Put the ankle joint at rest by wearing a brace or splint. More severe sprains may be treated with use of crutches.

2. Ice is the best treatment. Applying ice to the injury will help decrease pain.


7/7


Ice counteracts the increased blood flow to the injured area. It reduces swelling, redness, and warmth. Applied soon after the injury, ice prevents much of the inflammation

from developing. Do not apply ice directly to the skin. Use a towel between the ice and

the injury, or use an ice bag. Apply ice for 20 minutes at a t ime, with

at least 30 minutes between applications. This is to prevent frostbite,which can occur if you use ice too much or use it directly on yourskin.

3. Compression (sometimes called "strapping") provides support and helpsprevent inflammation. Elastic wraps such as Ace bandages immobilize the ankle. Do not apply wraps too tightly.

4. Elevation (keeping the injured area up as high as possible) will help thebody absorb fluid that has leaked into the tissue. Ideally, prop the ankle up so that it is above the level of the heart. Sit in a reclining chair or prop your legs up with pillows.

5. Anti-inflammatory pain medications such as ibuprofen (Motrin and Advil)and naproxen (Aleve or Naprosyn) will reduce the pain and combat

swelling. Fever: Generally, if the fever does not cause discomfort, the fever itself need

not be treated. It is not necessary to awaken a child to treat a fever unlessinstructed to do so by your doctor. Paracetamol can be used to lower a fever.An individual with a fever should be kept comfortable and not overdressed.Overdressing can cause the temperature to rise further. Tepid water (30 C)bath is a remedy that may help bring down a fever. Never immerse someonein ice water. This is a common misconception. Never sponge a child or anadult with alcohol; the alcohol fumes may be inhaled, causing many problems.

Diarrhea: Most diarrhea clears up on its own within a few days. To help thepatient cope with the signs and symptoms until they go away, advise them to:

1. Drink plenty of clear liquids, including water and juices. But, avoidapple and pear juices until he feels better because they can make yourdiarrhea worse. Eating gelatin also may help.

2. Add semisolid and low-fiber foods gradually as your bowelmovements return to normal. Try soda crackers, toast, eggs, rice orchicken.

3. Avoid certain foods such as dairy products, fatty foods, high-f iber foodsor highly seasoned foods for a few days.

4. Let them move the bowels. Certain infections bacterial and parasitic may be made worse by OTC medications (loperamide) because theyprevent the body from getting rid of what's causing the diarrhea. Also, thedrug isnt always safe for children.
