  3. Recognising an Emergency • What are some signs of an aquatic emergency? • http://www.smh.com.au/national/children-watch-in-horror-as-parents-drown-in--rip-20100119-mjar.html?autostart=1 • http://www.scienceofthesurf.com/

  4. Emergency Care • What is Emergency Care? It is the aid given to the injured or suddenly ill by the first people on the scene. All emergency care is based on: -knowledge -making informed decisions

  5. What is the rescuers responsibilities?

  6. The primary survey • Danger • Response • Airways • Breathing • Compression • Defibrillation

  7. Danger • Check for Danger • Check for dangers and hazards to the rescuer, bystanders and the casualty • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEeYJrO4p2M • What dangers exist in this instance?

  8. Response • Assess the level of consciousness of the casualty. Use the COWS method C- can you hear me O-open your eyes W- Whats your name S- squeeze my hand What should you not do?

  9. Airway • Clear and maintain airway. Check for signs of life. • If casualty is unconscious (care of airway takes precedence over any injury) • - place on back • -tilt the head and lift jaw • - incase of drowning place on side • - look for foreign material in mouth • - remove any foreign material (dentures only to be moved if loose) • - tilt head back to open airway Signs of Life -Include breathing and a pulse

  10. Breathing • Check for breathing What should you maintain while checking for breathing? • Look, Listen and Feel How would you look? How would you listen? How would you feel?

  11. If Breathing • Place victim into recovery position • No Breathing • - Give two rescue breaths (one second breaths) • Commence CPR • 2 breaths to every 30 compressions • You should be able to complete 100 compressions in one minute

  12. Complications of Rescue Breathing • If chest does not rise What could you check for? - check backward head tilt - check for foreign material • Check your seal (nose should be pinched) • Adequate volume • If in spite of all these checks the chest still does not rise, continue with CPR

  13. Compressions • Locating the compression point • Depth = 1/3 of chest height for all ages

  14. Compressions • There is not so much importance now on locating the exact spot. The important thing is that you start the compressions ASAP. • Two methods to use • Wrist hold method or finger hold method

  15. CPR for children • Use only one hand for compressions • 1/3 of chest height

  16. CPR for Infants (0-1 yr) • No head tilt when rescue breathing • Use two fingers for compressions • 1/3 of chest height.

  17. Aftercare • The recovery position • Extend casualty far arm at right angle to the body • Lift the nearest leg • Roll the body onto the side. Support the hip as you do this to make it easier. • Flex the hip and knee to 90 degrees. • Place the top forearm over the bottom elbow • Tilt the head back and support the jaw with face turned slightly towards the ground.
