Chest Compressions

1. Position shoulders over hands with elbows locked and arms straight

3. Pulse check every 2 minutes until victim is revived or until help arrives

Disability Check

1. Treat all unconscious victims as if they have spine injuries until proven otherwise

2. Recognize the signs and symptoms of fractures

3. Apply a rigid cervical collar to the victim’s neck then check for circulation by feeling for the carotid pulse

4. Prepare the materials for splinting. Pad the splints to prevent pressure and discomfort to the victim; prepare the triangular bandages

5. Assess the pulse and sensation below the injury

6. Splint the injury in the position you found it. Immobilize the entire injured extremity plus the joints above and below the fractured site

7. Secure the splints with the bandages starting from the distal end of the splint to the proximal end. In slipping the bandage under the extremity, place the bandage over a separate splint and slide the splint under the extremity

8. Splint firmly enough to immobilize but not tightly enough to stop blood circulation or prevent lung expansion. In securing the chest with a bandage, ask the victim to inhale deeply or if unconscious, use three finger breadths as allowance for lung expansion before tying the bandage
