PRYSICAL EDUCATION - BASIC FIRST AID Is an immediate and temporary care given to a person who has been injured or suddenly taken ill. It includes self-help and home care if medical assistance is not available or delayed. Heat exhaustion is a response to heat characterized by fatigue, weakness and collapse due to inadequate intake of water to compensate for loss of fluids during sweating. FIRST AID OBJECTIVES OF FIRST AID: To To To COMMON INJURY ENCOUNTERED BY OFFICIATING OFFICIALS AND ATHLETES: SPRAINS A sprain is caused by torn fibers in a ligament. Swelling and bruising are some signs and symptoms. Have the victim lie down with his/her feet elevated. Keep the victim cool. Give him/her electrolyte beverages to sip or make a salted drink. Monitor the victim for signs of shock. If the victim starts having seizures, protect him/her from injury and give first aid for convulsions. If the victim loses consciousness, give first aid for unconsciousness. OTHER SERIOUS INJURIES THAT REQUIRE IMMEDIATE CARE OR FIRST AID INCLUDE: FIRST AID Remove any clothing or jewelry around the joint. Apply cold compress at once. Elevate the affected joint. The victim's physician may recommend an over the counter antiinflammatory for the victim's general health medication (aspirin, ibuprofen) appropriate HEAT EXHAUSTION SPRAINS VS. STRAINS A sprain is a stretch or tear of a ligament, the band of connective tissues that joins the end of one bone with another. Sprains are caused by trauma such as a fall or a blow to the body that knocks a joint out of position and, in the worst case, ruptures the supporting ligaments. Sprains can range from first degree (minor) to third degree (the worst). A strain is a twist, pull or tear of a muscle or tendon - a cord of tissue connecting muscle to bone. It is an acute, non-contact injury that results from overstretching or over-contraction. Symptoms of a strain include pain, muscle spasm and loss of strength. While it's hard to tell the difference between mild and moderate strains, severe strains not treated professionally can cause damage and loss of function. KNEE INJURIES Because of its complex structure and weight- bearing capacity, the knee is the most commonly injured joint. Each year, more than 5.5 million people visit orthopedic surgeons for knee problems. Knee injuries can result from a blow or twist to the knee, from improper landing after a jump or from running too hard, too much or without proper warm up. ICE is an excellent anti-inflammatory and reduces swelling and pain. Apply an ice pack or cold compress for 10 to 15 minutes as soon as possible after an injury. Repeat each hour for the first 3 or 4 hours, then 4 times a day for the next 2 to 3 days. Protect your skin with a thin cloth. If ice packs are not available, a packet of frozen vegetables in a cloth will do. COMPRESSION also reduces swelling. Use elastic bandages for at least 2 days. Check that the bandage is snug, but not too tight. Take the bandage off at night. FRACTURES A fracture is a break in the bone that can occur from either a quick, one-time injury to the bone (acute fracture) or from repeated stress to the bone over time (stress fracture). ELAVATION drains fluids from injured tissues. Elevate the injured area whenever you are sitting or lying down. Try to keep the injured area at or above the level of the heart. DISLOCATIONS When the two bones that come together to form a joint become separated, the joint is described as being dislocated. A dislocated joint is an emergency situation that requires medical treatments.
