You will also have the chance to be familiar with appropriate bandaging techniques for unintentional injuries. Wound A wound is a break in the continuity of tissue in the body. It may be closed in which there is no breakage or damage to the skin. A wound may also be an open wound in which there is a break in the skin. Contusion is a region of injured tissue or skin in which blood capillaries have been ruptured; a bruise. Kinds of Open Wounds PUNCTURE ABRASION INCISION LACERATION AVULSION 1. Puncture is a piercing wound caused by nails, needles, and other pointed objects. 2. Abrasion is caused by rubbing or scraping the skin against a rough surface. 3. Incision is a cut caused by a knife, broken glass, or any sharp object. 4. Laceration is a blunt breaking or tearing of soft tissues usually resulting from mishandling tools and other accidents. 5. Avulsion is a forcible tearing or partial tearing away of tissues. How to Manage Wounds: A. For the management of wound, we use the mnemonic RICE. Resting the injured part Ice application Compression (It limits swelling and prevents blood clots.) Elevation (It is the simplest way to decrease tissue swelling around the wound.) 5 B. First Aid for Open Wounds with Severe Bleeding 1. Wear gloves and remove or cut clothing as necessary to expose the wound. 2. Control bleeding by applying direct pressure. 3. Elevate the injured part above the heart except for eye injury and wounds with an embedded object. 4. Cover the wound with sterile dressing and bandage. 5. Care for the shock. 6. Consult a physician immediately. GAUZE DRESSING A gauze dressing is a piece of sterile that covers a wound to prevent infection and/or to stop bleeding. Techniques in Applying a Gauze Dressing 1. Wash hands and wear gloves, if possible. 2. Unwrap the dressing as close to the wound as possible. Be sure not to touch the wound. 3. Skin is not sterile. If the dressing slips over the victim’s skin while you are trying to position it, discard and use a fresh one. 4. Place the dressing over the wound. 5. Use a dressing that is large enough to extend at least 1 inch beyond the edges of the wound. 6. If body tissue or organs are exposed, cover the wound with a dressing that will stick. 7. Secure the dressing with a bandage or adhesive tape. Cold compress is used to reduce swelling and relieve pain, especially used for sprains and strains. Cold packs can be used as a cold compress. Hot compress is also used to allow normal blood circulation. Cold and hot compress are applied alternately for closed wounds or contusions. BANDAGES Bandages are used to apply pressure to bleeding; cover wounds and burns; and provide support for immobilization for broken bones, sprains, and strains. Three Main Types of Bandages 1. A triangular bandage is made from cloth and can be used as a cold compress, padding, support for pressure, or support sling. 2. Ace bandage secures dressings in place. 3. A tubular bandage is used to support joints or hold dressings in place. The small tubular bandage is used for finger injuries. 6 TRIANGULAR ACE TUBULAR Types of Bandaging Open Phase An open phase bandaging is used for wounds on the top and back of the head, chest, back, hand, and foot, and an arm sling. Cravat Phase A cravat phase bandaging is used for wounds that need extra support like a wound on the eye, forehead, ear, cheek, jaw, shoulder, hip, arm, leg, elbow, knee, and palm and for a sprained ankle. The narrower the cravat is, the greater pressure it will give. Techniques in Bandaging 1. Keep in mind the following techniques in bandaging: a. Always use a square knot. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. b. Keep the cloth sterile to avoid infection. c. Always keep the ends. Bandaging technique depends upon the size and location of the wound, your first aid skills, and materials at hand. Bandage firmly over bleeding and securely over the broken bone, not so tight so as not to cut off blood circulation. When wrapping bandages around the body, such as knees, ankles, neck, and small back, use its natural hollows to slide the bandage gently into place. Since most injuries swell, check regularly to ensure that the bandage is still comfortable and that it remains firmly secured. Secure the bandage with tape, clips, or a bow or square knot. Ensure that the bandages, especially the knots, do not touch the skin. 7 Unintentional Injuries These are damages in the body that are caused by unintentional circumstances or accidents. 1. 2. 3. Fracture – a break or crack in a bone. An open fracture pierces the skin surface while in a closed fracture the skin above is intact. Closed Dislocation – is a partial or complete displacement of the bone. Sprain – It is an injury to the ligaments due to overstretching or sudden movement. Ligaments Muscles Strain – It is an injury to the muscles and tendons due to overstretching. SPRAIN 4. 5. Open Heat Exhaustion – It is caused by loss of salt and water due to excessive-high temperature. Food Poisoning – It is caused by consuming food or drink that is contaminated by bacteria or viruses. 6. Choking – It results when a foreign object blocks the throat. 7. Drowning – It happens when air cannot get into the lungs because of water. 8 STRAIN 8 9. 10. Heart Attack – It is caused by sudden obstruction of blood supply to the part of the heart. Burns – are often due to domestic incidents such as touching a hot iron, friction (rope burn), or spilling boiling water. Chemical burn – may occur when electricity passes the body. Stroke – It is a condition in which the blood supply to the part of the brain is suddenly and seriously impaired by a blot clot or ruptured blood vessels. Heat Stroke – is caused by a failure of the “thermostat” in the brain to regulate body temperature. Blood Clot Blood unable to pass Refer to the illustrations for proper bandaging of body parts.

Independent Assessment 1: FACT or BLUFF! Directions: Write FACT if the following statement is true and BLUFF if it is false. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper. ___ 1. ___ 2. ___ 3. ___ ___ 4. 5. Bandages are used to apply pressure to bleeding; cover wounds and burns; and provide support for immobilization for broken bones, sprains, and strains. An open wound can be determined if there is no break or damage to the skin. A dressing is a piece of sterile that covers a wound to prevent infection and/or to stop bleeding. Cold compress is also used to allow normal blood circulation. The different kinds of open wounds are incision, laceration, dislocation, avulsion, abrasion, and puncture. 10 Independent Activity 2: Arrange Me!
