following steps:

Call 911 right away.Check the person's airway, breathing, and

circulation. If necessary, begin rescue

breathing and CPR. If the person's breathing and heart rate are

normal but the person is unconscious, treat

as if there is a spinal injury. Stabilize thehead and neck by placing your hands on

both sides of the person's head.

Stop any bleeding by firmly pressing a

clean cloth on the wound.

If you suspect a skull fracture, do not apply direct

pressure to the bleeding site, and do not remove

any debris from the wound. Cover the wound with

sterile gauze dressing. If the person is vomiting, to prevent choking, roll the

person's head, neck, and body as one unit onto his

or her side. This still protects the spine. Children

often vomit once after a head injury. This may notbe a problem, but call a doctor for further guidance.

Apply ice packs to swollen areas.
