ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT REPORTING
Following any accident or incident it is important to record all details relating to the situation. The information contained in the accident book can often help employers to indentify accident trends and improve the general Health and Safety of the workplace. These records may also be required for insurance and investigative purposes. In 2003 a new accident book was introduced to comply with data protection legislation. It is designed so that any individual recording an accident is unable to access personal details of previous records.

one side of the casualty• Deliver 5 back blows – if obstruction is not removed• Stand behind the casualty wrap your arms around the waist,
place one fist (thumb side in between the belly button and the lower part of the sternum
• Place the other hand over the first fist and pull sharply inward and upwards – repeat this 5 times
• Repeat back blows and abdominal thrusts until the obstruction is removed or the casualty starts to lose consciousness

UK choking statistics
About 16,000 cases of choking are treated in UK hospitals each year
In 1999, a total of 218 people choked to death on food. A further 55 died after choking on non-edible objects
About half the choking fatalities in 1999 were men and women aged 75 and over
About 2,600 choking accidents in the UK each year involve children under four years of age

BLEEDING CONT..
HOW MUCH BLOOD DO WE HAVE?• Varies in relation to our size…• Rule of thumb 1 pint per stone in body weight…
average weight 70kgs• Average adult 8-12 pints (4.5 to 6.5 litres)…• Children have less so they cannot afford to loose
the same amount…• An infant only has around 1 pint of blood, so they
can only loose 1/3 of a pint before the blood pressure falls.
![Page 72: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
How much blood loss is critical
The body can compensate if it is losing blood.It does this by : • Closing down the blood supply to non-
emergency areas of the body (including the skin and digestive system)
• Speeding up the heart to maintain blood pressure.
![Page 73: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
How much blood loss is critical
Blood vessels can only close down so much andThe heart can only go so fast so there is a Limit to how much blood the body can lose.
The body can no longer compensate after 1/3of its blood has been lost.
After this the blood pressure falls quickly The blood supply to the brain falls and deathwill result

INTERNAL BLEEDING
• Blood is not actually lost ‘externally’ from the body, it is lost out of the arteries and veins so shock can quickly develop
• Can be difficult to recognise in it’s early stages• Can be of a result of direct trauma to chest or
abdomen• Can happen spontaneously i.e. bleeding into the
stomach from an ulcer or weak artery
![Page 78: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)

Why does anaphylaxis happen….
Your body’s immune system is reacting badly to the presence of a foreign object
(e.g. food or a substance) it wrongly perceives as a threat.
![Page 91: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)

How does the body reactBody releases a massive amount of histamine and other Chemicals into the blood stream
Blood vessels widen leading to a sudden and severe Lowering of the blood pressure.
Constriction on the Airway

Treatment• Primary survey – DRAB• Ensure 999 has been called• If casualty is conscious sit them up to assist
breathing• Encourage casualty to use medication if available• Monitor the vital signs• Be prepared to carry out CPR• The casualty needs further medical attention even
if they appear to recover

Epi-pen
A patient who has suffered a previous anaphylactic Reaction may carry a syringe of adrenalin (Epi-Pen)
This can save the patient’s life if it is given promptly
The patient should be able to inject this on their own but, if necessary, assist them to use it.

4 MAIN TYPES• CLOSED – where the broken bone does not puncture the
skin• OPEN – where the broken bone has punctured the skin
creating a wound and possible infection• COMPLICATED – can be either closed or open and will
involve injury to another part of the body• GREEN STICK – Bones are more flexible and split but are
not totally severed. Often mistaken for sprains and strains.

CAUSES OF FRACTURES • Direct Force – slipping on a wet surface and landing on
you back or being struck with a blunt object• Indirect Force – landing heavily or awkwardly from a fall
or jump – bones in the foot may break but also possibly leg, pelvis, spine and skill
• Muscular contraction – electricity, epilepsy• Twisting Force – torsion forces on the bones and muscles• Pathological – bones have become brittle or weak due to
disease

HEAD INJURIES
The skull is usually able to provide adequate protection for the brain if it receives a blow to it. When the injury is more serious the skull could fracture and lead to damage to the brain.
All injuries to the head should be treated as serious as they are potentially dangerous.
Medical assistance should be considered in all cases.

THE BRAINCONSISTS OF THREE COMPONENT PARTS
Cerebrum – consists of two hemispheres (left and right) – houses sensory functions, motor functions and higher intellectual functions such as intelligence and memory.
Cerebellum – co-ordinates movement
Brainstem – controls all the vital automatic function, contains the medulla which controls temp, heart rate, breathing, swallowing.

TYPES OF HEAD INJURIES
• Concussion – can be thought of as a ‘shaking up’ of the brain.
• Compression – bleeding or swelling in the cranial cavity
• Skull fracture – blunt or penetrating trauma

Concussion CompressionUnconsciousness for a short period, followed by an increase in levels of response and recovery.
Could have a history of recent head injury with apparent recovery, but then deteriorates
Short term memory loss (particularly of the incident). Confusion, irritability.
Levels of response become worse as condition develops
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)
Rapid, weak pulse. (Blood diverts away from the extremities)
Slow, strong pulse. (Caused by raised blood pressure)
Normal pupils, reacting to light. One or both pupils dilate as pressure increases on the brain.

Concussion• Sit a conscious casualty down or place in recovery position if
weak and unsteady• If unconscious and breathing place into recovery position• Seek medical assistance as situation calls for• Monitor airway, breathing and response levels (AVPU)• Keep casualty calm and warm • Do not let them resume play
![Page 119: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
Compression
Treatment• If conscious lay casualty down and raise the head and
shoulders• Monitor airway, breathing and response levels• Loosen tight clothing• Keep warm and reassure• Dial 999 if not already done so• If unconscious try to keep in position found unless you have to
leave them• Be prepared to carry out CPR• Do not give them anything to eat or drink

EYE INJURIES (SERIOUS)
• Keep the child still and gently hold a soft sterile dressing over the injured eye (this can be carefully bandaged in place if required)
• Ask the child to close their good eye to avoid movement of the injured eye (if necessary bandage the good eye)
• Reassurance of the child is essential and if both eyes have been covered DO NOT leave them unattended
• Take the child to hospital or dial 999 if necessary
![Page 128: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)

Conditions effecting the ear • Cuts, scrapes, burns, or frostbite. When there's an injury (even
minor) to the outer ear or ear canal, bleeding and infection can affect other parts of the ear.
• Inserting something into the ear. Things like a cotton swab, fingernail, or pencil can scratch the ear canal or cause a tear or hole in the eardrum (called a ruptured eardrum).
• Direct blows to the ear or head. Falls, car accidents, sports injuries, or fights may tear the eardrum, dislocate the ossicles, or damage the inner ear. Wrestlers, boxers, and other athletes who endure repeated forceful hits to the outer ear can develop severe bruising or blood clots that block blood flow to the cartilage of the outer ear and damage its shape and structure (known as cauliflower ear).
![Page 131: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)
Treatment for ear injury Make sure to call your doctor if :•The child has had any type of ear or head injury, even if it seems minor•any signs of problems with balance or hearing•severe ear pain•blood or fluid draining from the ear (that doesn't look like earwax)•If a child has an object in their ear try to see if the object will fall out simply by tilting your child’s head.•If you can see the object in the ear and think you can remove it easily, carefully pull it out with a pair of tweezers. Be careful not to push it in deeper, and don’t poke at the ear or try to remove the object by force. The ear canal is very sensitive, and this could be painful.•If this can not be done safely place a large sterile dressing over the ear and take the child to A&E.

Heat and Cold
The body’s thermostat is located in the brain and enables the body temperature to be monitored and to some extent, controlled at a level approximately 36.9 degrees Celsius.
The temperature control can be affected by extremes of external heat or cold, dehydration of the body’s fluid content by injury to the head or spine that in turn affects the central nervous system.
![Page 141: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/141.jpg)
How does the body maintain its normal temperature ?
• Conversion of food into energy (metabolism), from external heat sources and by muscle activity
• In hot conditions blood vessels dilate allowing excess heat to be lost through the skin (sweating) and by increasing our breathing rate.
• In cold conditions the blood vessels contract which reduces sweating.
![Page 142: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/142.jpg)
The effects of cold
• Shuts down the blood vessels in the skin – this stops the internal or core heat from escaping
• During prolonged exposure to cold, wet and windy conditions the core body temperature may fall below 35 degrees Celsius causing normal bodily function to slow down and eventually stop. This is known as hypothermia.
• Apart from the environmental conditions the casualty’s age and general condition play a large part in the development of hypothermia
![Page 143: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)
Hypothermia
Recognition• Shivering (this will stop as the condition progresses)• Cold, pale and dry skin• Slow shallow breathing• Slow weak pulse• Strange irrational behaviour• Lethargy (very tired)• Unconsciousness leading to coma and cardiac arrest
![Page 144: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/144.jpg)
HypothermiaTreatment• Find out how they have been exposed to the cold for
the length of exposure and the lower the body temperature determines the rate at which you should re-warm the casualty
• If a young person fall into cold water but is recovered quickly they will be a cold casualty but not hypothermic. These casualties can be warmed rapidly.
• Remember a drop in the body temperature causes hypothermia
![Page 145: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/145.jpg)
Hypothermia
Treatment• Move the casualty to a sheltered and warm place• Keep the casualty in a horizontal position• Insulate them from the ground and surroundings• Treat for shock• Cover with blankets but do not overheat• Prevent heat escaping from the extremities• Call 999 or 112 and monitor their airway and
breathing….
![Page 146: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/146.jpg)
Hypothermia
Treatment..• Do not give any food or drink• Do not rub the skin or put the casualty next to a heat
source• Do not stand them up or walk them around to get
warm• Do not overheat them warm them slowly
![Page 147: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/147.jpg)
The effects of HeatHeat Exhaustion
• When the body temperature exceed the atmospheric temperature particularly in humid conditions heat will not evaporate from the body. This often takes place with strenuous exercise causing a loss of salt and water from the body (dehydration). This is known as heat exhaustion and because the fluid component of the blood is reduced and the casualty will suffer from shock.
![Page 148: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/148.jpg)
HEAT EXHAUSTION
Recognition• Headache• Confusion• Sweating with pale, clammy skin• Muscle cramps in the abdomen and limbs• Rapid weakening pulse and breathing• Temperatures around 39 degrees Celcius
![Page 149: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/149.jpg)
The effect of HeatHeatstroke
• When there is a failure of the thermostat in the brain the body’s temperature will rise above 40 degrees Celsius. This may have been brought on by uncontrollable heat exhaustion, prolonged exposure to high temperatures or as a result of an illness or fever. If this is not treated immediately brain damage can occur.
![Page 150: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/150.jpg)
Heatstroke
Recognition• Headache• Confusion and general discomfort• Hot, flushed and dry skin• Body temperature above 40 degrees celcius• Rapid deterioration• Full bounding pulse• Slow and noisy breathing• Levels of response deteriorate rapidly
![Page 151: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/151.jpg)
Heatstroke
Treatment• Place in a cool or shaded environment• Remove outer clothing and cool down (a cold wet
flannel or sheet) be careful not to overcool • Dial 999 or 112 if not already done so• Ensure a good source of fresh air• Be prepared to carry out CPR as required.

ELECTROCUTION
• The electrical current passes through the body to travel to earth. This can interfere with the body’s own
electrical impulses which may cause the breathing or the heart to stop.
• Check for burns remember the burns may be internal • Electric shock causes muscle contraction which may
prevent the casualty breaking the connection this means your casualty may be ‘live’ so approach
with care
![Page 156: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/156.jpg)
Electricity – safe management
• Isolate the electricity (if high voltage prevent anyone approaching the area 18 metres around the casualty)
• Use a non conductive item to disconnect the casualty from the electricity if you cannot isolate it
• Be aware of any water or metal around the casualty• Contact the emergency services
![Page 157: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/157.jpg)

BURNS
• The skin is the largest organ in the body
• Composed of 3 tissue layers
• Epidermis – outermost layer made up entirely of epithelial cells no blood vessels
• Dermis – framework of connective tissues that contain blood vessels, nerve endings, sebaceous glands and sweat glands
• Subcutaneous- combination of elastic and fibrous tissue as well as fatty deposits
![Page 162: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/162.jpg)
BURNS CONT..WHAT DOES THE SKIN DO?
• Protective barrier against outside environment
• Helps prevent infection
• Prevents fluid loss
• Helps regulate body temperature
• Dermal layer contains nerve endings that convey impulses between the brain and the body

TREATMENT FOR BURNS or SCALDS
• Primary assessment
• Position of casualty
• Cool the burn immediately with cold running water for minimum of 10 minutes (do not overcool the casualty and do not touch the injured area)
![Page 167: Firstaid 2017](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee68f21a28abc23c8b459b/html5/thumbnails/167.jpg)
TREATMENT FOR BURNS or SCALDS
• Remove constricting items (shoes, jewellery etc) but be careful not to remove anything stuck to the burn
• If chemical burns be careful not to contaminate yourself or other areas of the casualty’s body)
• Elevate the affected area if possible (reduces swelling)
• Dress the burn – non fluffy and non sticky – cling film is good but do not wrap the burn tightly
• Alternatives – unused plastic bags or specific burns dressings
• Now recommended all children with burn are assessed by medical staff
