Project - Pocket Guide on First
Aid
124

Submitted by Administrator on Mon, 02/07/2011 - 21:03

This article contains the write up for the CBSE Class 10 Social Science Project - Pocket
Guide on First Aid. The question for the project is -

Prepare a pocket guide on First Aid for your school. The First Aid pocket guide should contain aid that needs to be g
for fractures, poisoning, cuts and burns, heat and cold wave and other threats that are prevalent in that area. The co

shared in the guide should be supported with adequate pictures so as to give a clear and elaborate understanding a
the topic. Choose awareness campaign strategy for either senior citizens or illiterate people and prepare a brief write

You may also like to have a look on our CBSE question section which we are in process of preparing.

Acknowledgement
For the successful completion of the project, I would like to thank first of all my social science
teacher [teachers name] who introduced me to this project and incepted me with the idea of
how to proceed with the project. This project definitely would have not been a successful project
without his assistance and vigilance. There are many other people whom I would like to thank.
First of all I would like to thank my elder brother who helped me a lot while I was on the go with
the project. He assisted me every time I needed. I would also like to thank my parents for
helping me in the project with their own ideas and suggestions. I would like to then thank [if you
have a family doctor or a doctor friend], a doctor friend of mine who helped me in the project
providing details about various things. Again, I would like to thank the above mentioned people.
Without them, this project could not have been the
way it is. Your signature.

and page number.

Foreword
We know what the value of our life is. But, there are
situations in which it falls in danger and sometimes,
without appropriate steps that need to be taken, lives
are lost. A drop of water is more valuable to a man who is thirsty, nearing to death than a
tumbler full of water when he is dead. Yes, in most of the cases of injury, if first aid is provided
successfully, the dangers to life are reduced to less than 60%. However, in most of the cases in
which the injured is serious, lack of first aid leads the injured to his last breath. This project has
been intentioned to be viewed as a pocket first aid guide which can be used for reference during
emergencies. Readers may find guidelines, which contain steps that need to be taken to give first
aid for fractures, poisoning, cuts, burns and a lot of other cases in which first aid can prove to be
the life saving action.

What is First Aid?

First Aid is a set of measures which need to be taken in order to prevent any further harm being
done to the body of an injured person in case of an accidental injury. First aid has three main
objectives

1. To preserve life of the injured Definitely, the main objective of providing first aid to the
injured is that life of the injured can be saved. The life of the injured must not be lost just
because no one was there to provide first aid this is the main objective of first aid.

2. To prevent deterioration of the condition The first aider needs to make sure that the
condition of the injured does not deteriorate otherwise the first objective might fail.

3. To promote recovery of the injured If the first and the second objectives are successfully
met, then the first aid provider must try to take the injured to the doctor in case of availability.
Otherwise, he / she must try his best to do what he / she can do in order to support recovery of
the injured.

Essence of a First Aid Kit

To provide the needy with first aid properly, one needs to have a good first aid kit which
contains the essential things which might be needed while providing first aid to the injured. A
good first aid kit must contain the following things in side it
Adhesive tape
Crepe bandage
Cotton
Wool
Sterile Dressing
Soap
Gloves
Scissors
Thermometer
Pain Killer
Antacid
Mineral Water (to be renewed regularly)
Triangular Bandage

 ORS Packets
Antiseptic Liquid Disinfectant like Dettol or Savalon A first aid kit can be made in any kind of
box.
One can use a shoe box to make a first aid kit too. However, it is to be kept in mind that the first
aid box must be clean.

First Aid for Different Injuries and

Circumstances
In this column, one can find first aid measures for different types of injuries and circumstances.
One of the very important steps is calling for the emergency help or calling for the ambulance in
all the cases. It has not been included one by one in all the cases or injuries.

First Aid for Fractures

In case of fractures or broken bone, one should do the following as the steps of providing first
aid
1. Stop any bleeding In case there is any bleeding nearby the fractured area, the first aid
provider must try to stop it by applying pressure on the wound with clean, sterile bandage or a
clean cloth like a clean handkerchief.

2. Immobilize the fractured part The fractured area must not be moved or tried to be realigned
or pushed. Until and unless the first aid provider is an expert or a professional, the fractured
part must not be manually tried to be adjusted. If the provider is an expert and knows how to fit
a splint, a splint must be tried to be fitted.

3. Apply ice A mass of ice must be applied to the fractured area in order to limit the swelling
and help the injured person to get a bit of relieve until the arrival of emergency help. The ice
must not be applied directly, but must be wrapped in a towel or any other piece of cloth and then
must be applied.

4. Treating for shock If the person is getting unconscious or is fainting, then the person must
be treated with mouth to mouth breaths, and must be tried to lay down with the legs, slightly
raised.

5. Padding or Support The wound can also be supported with padding so as to relax the
injured.

First Aid for Poisoning

In case of poisoning, the following first aid measures can be taken
1. Fresh air If the person has inhaled the poison, then he must be allowed to intake fresh air
immediately, as soon as possible.

2. Removal from the mouth In case the victim has swallowed the poison, anything which
remains in his mouth, must be removed immediately.

3. Dilution In case of intake of poison through mouth, the person must be made to drink water
or milk in order to dilute the poison.

4. Requesting directions from control centre If the poison is a household cleaner or some
other chemical then one should try to call up the control centre through the phone number
supplied on the back of the container and directions must be requested.

5. CPR If the person suffers from breathing problems, then he must be aided with CPR. CPR
or Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a process which is attempted in an effort to bring someone
who is showing no signs of circulation, back to life. This can involve chest compressions at 100
compressions or more per minute and artificial (mouth to mouth) respiration.

6. Cleaning If the poison has spilled off on the cloth, skin or eyes of the person, then the
persons cloth, skin or eye must be cleaned with regular showers of lukewarm water for about 20
minutes.

First Aid for Cuts

The following steps must be undertaken in case of a cut

1. Stopping the bleeding In case of a cut, if the bleeding of the wound does not stop itself in a
few minutes, then gentle pressure with a piece of clean cloth or bandage, must be applied.

2. Cleaning The wound must be cleaned with fresh water. If available, a Antiseptic Liquid
Disinfectant must be used to clean the wound. Debris and dirt should be carefully removed

without troubling the injured. The hands of the cleaner must be sterilized or gloves should be
used.

3. Antibiotic or Ointment After cleaning the wound, a thin layer of antibiotic or ointment like
Neosporin must be applied.

4. Bandaging After cleaning and applying ointment on the wound, a sterile bandage must be
used to cover the wound, carefully.

5. Stitches For deep wounds, the first aid provider must seek help and get the deep wounds
stitched if possible.

6. Tetanus If one suspects that the cut has been caused by some dangerous, rusted thing, then
the injured person must be given a tetanus shot or tetanus injection too.

First Aid for Burns

There are three levels or degrees of burns

1. First Degree In this, only the outer layer of the skin is burnt.
2. Second Degree In this, the first and the second layer of the skin are burnt
3. Third Degree In this, all the layers of the skin can get burnt. Tissues can be burnt
permanently and elements like fats, muscles and bones can also get burnt. It is the most serious
case of burns. For minor burns (first and second degree), the following first aid measures can be
taken

1. Cooling the burn The burnt area must be cooled using running water or cool water (not too
much cool) for about 20 minutes. If this does not reduce the pain, the burnt area can be left
immersed in the water.

2. Bandage and pain relieve The burnt area can be next, bandaged loosely and blistered skin
must be protected. Pain relievers like aspirin can be given to the injured if he is not allergic to it.

Ice must not be applied and blistered skin should be taken care of. For major burns (third
degree), the following aids can be given

1. Burned clothing The burnt clothing must not be removed off the skin but heating or
smouldering materials must be removed.

2. No cold water Cold water must not be used in case of serious burns. This can deteriorate
body temperature, blood pressure and circulation.

3. CPR If there is no breathing or no sign of circulation or movement, then CPR must be

initiated.

4. Covering the area The burnt area must be covered with moist, sterile cloth like towels.

5. Elevation The body must be elevated, if possible, above the chest portion.

First Aid for Heat and Cold Wave

Heat wave or heat stroke is also known as sunstroke or hyperthermia. This is generally caused
due to excessive exercise during high temperature conditions and high humidity and inadequate
water supply. Also, heat waves like loo winds can be the reason. Following steps can be taken as
first aid for heat waves

1. Air Conditioning The person suffering from heat wave must be instantly brought to an air
conditioned ambience. Though fans would work too, but air conditioners would be more
effective.

2. Mineral drinks - If the person is not allergic to any of these drinks, then he must be provided
with sherbet or mineral drinks.

3. Cramps - If the person feels that he is having cramps, the area where he feels the cramp is
must be massaged and must be transferred to a cool place. Cold waves or hypothermia is a

condition when the body loses a lot of its heat. Following are the first aid measures to be taken
for cold wave

1. Blanket - The person suffering from cold wave must be provided with a blanket.

2. Hot Drinks The person can be provided with hot drinks like tea, coffee etc. Also, he can be
provided with soup and broth.

3. Hot water bath The person can be arranged for a hot water bath. This is effective in
increasing the temperature of the body.

First Aid for Fainting

If oneself faints, the person must lie down with head between the knees. If someone else faints,
then the following steps can be taken

1. Positioning the person The person must be positioned on his back with the legs elevated
above the chest level. He must not be made to get up too quickly.

2. CPR If the signs of circulation like breathing, movement, coughing, etc. are absent, then the
CPR must be initiated.

First Aid for Heart Attack

The following aids can be very helpful during a heart attack

1. Aspirin If the person who has got heart attack is not allergic to aspirin, he must be asked to
swallow (if possible, after chewing) an aspirin.

2. Nitroglycerin If the person has suffered from heart attack before too and has been
prescribed nitroglycerin by the doctor, he can be asked to take it as directed and other peoples
nitroglycerin must not be taken.

3. CPR - In case the signs of circulation are absent, and the person is unconscious, then CPR
must be immediately initiated.

First Aid Awareness Campaign Strategy for

Illiterate People
In order to make a social project more effective, it is very much needed that the masses are
aware of the project. To make illiterate people aware about something like first aid is very much
important because awareness of first aid can be very helpful if an illiterate man comes up to be a
first aider someday. I would take the following steps to spread awareness about first aid among
illiterate people

1. A story An Example First of all, I would tell them a short story like this Sheela was
working for late hours in her office as she was doing overtime job. There were only a couple of
more people who were in her office. As she began to go, a short circuit took place and her cabin
caught fire. She was badly burnt. But, to her rescue came the sweeper Arjun, of the office who
knew something about how to provide the first aid to a badly burnt person. He provided Sheela
with first aid and took her to the doctor. She was burnt badly but her life was saved. For the
good work, Arjun was awarded.

2. Need of First Aid After telling them the story, I would tell them about what the need of first
aid is and how useful it can be at instances.

3. Introduction to First Aid by a doctor I would approach a local doctor who agrees with me on
introducing these illiterate people about the first aid. I would ask him to give a speech to the
people and tell them about the first aid.

4. How to give First Aid Next, I would introduce them to the methods of giving first aid to the
victim in case of different situations, as mentioned in this pocket guide. This will help them be
informed on how to give first aid, in case, someday needed.

5. Preparation of First Aid Kit I would ask them all to prepare a good first aid kit and after
prepared, will ask them to show it to me and I would approve them if they are fine and will bring
them to correction if not. These are what I will do in order to make illiterate people aware about
the first aid.

Conclusion

As the concluding part of this project, I would like to say that Without proper action at proper
time, danger awaits us with a bigger face. We must act on time when a person is injured. We
must take care of the person the way it is meant. Otherwise, a valuable life might be lost. We
need to understand how precious lives of people are and what importance first aid carries in
saving these precious lives. If this project imparts this idea in even one person, I would think
that the project has been successful.
