AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION
Finger sweeps and
manual removal

Abdominal Thrust Maneuver
(The Heimlich maneuver)
ARTIFICIAL CIRCULATION
IN ADULTS
External chest
compression
The correct hand position for chest compression
A B
C D
External chest compression is produced by
vertical downward pressure through both extended
arms to depress the adult sternum 1.5 to 2 inches
AIRWAY BREATHING CIRCULATION
No pulse
Sequence continues
CPR with two rescuer
BLEEDING
Bleeding = Hemorrhage of
blood escaping from blood vessels.
If uncontrolled
Shock
Death
Important!
The average amount of blood
in adult body is
6 liters
In an adult 600 ml
In a child 200 to 300 ml
In an infant 25 or 30 ml

C. Elevate
Proximal arterial pressure
Bleeding from avulsion injury
Epistaxis
(Nosebleed)
Can be caused by the following conditions:
• A fractured skull;
• Facial injuries, including those caused by
a direct blow to the nose;
• Sinusitis, infections, use/abuse of nosedrops,
dried or cracked nasal mucous or other
abnormalities inside the nose;
• High blood pressure;
• Bleeding diseases.
Methods of Controlling
Nosebleed Are:
Important!
Shock is not a specific disease or injury;
it is a physiological state with specific
manifestations.
Sign and Symptoms of Shock
ABC action
FRACTURES ,
DISLOCATIONS
AND SPRAINS
Fracture
Any break in the continuity of a bone
• Deformity;
• Tenderness;
• Swelling and ecchymosis;
• Exposed fragments;
• Crepitus
• False motions.
Dislocation
• Tenderness;
• Swelling and ecchymosis;
• Inability to use the extremity.
Open Fracture
Close Fracture
Greenstick fracture
Fracture of the proximal end
of the humerus
Various mechanisms of injury may produce
fractures and dislocations
Emergency Management of
Fractures, Dislocation and Sprains

Immobilization for
Humeral Shaft Fracture
The injured hand is splinted in
the “position of function”
• Pain?
• Numbness, tingling, or weakness;
• Pain with movement (the injured area
of the spine);
• Deformity.
• Lacerations or contusions (over the
shoulders, the back, or the abdomen);
• Paralysis or anesthesia.
