First Aid - DRsABC

First Aid - DRsABC

A short quizziz for students who are

learning the basics of First Aid

​What is the primary survey?

The primary survey is a quick way to find out how to treat any life threatening conditions a casualty may have in order of priority.

​

​We can use DRsABC to carry out the primary survey.

​Before we begin learning about DRsABC, let's test what you already know.

​

We may have some First Aid experts in the room already.

What is the difference between unresponsive and sleeping?

​Unconsciousness vs sleeping:

​

The difference between being asleep and being unconsciousness is that an unconscious person will not wake up. Unconsciousness is a medical emergency which requires immediate first aid intervention.

The recovery position:

​

​Why the fuss?

​

When someone goes unconscious, they lose muscle tone. This means they go all ‘floppy’ – like a rag doll.

​

The tongue (a muscle) can block their airway when it loses muscle tone. This is known colloquially as “swallowing your own tongue” In addition, loss of control over their stomach muscles can cause stomach contents (vomit) to travel back up to the throat which can block the airway.

What is the ‘airway’?

​

The airway is a series of tubes which carries air from your mouth & nose to your lungs.

​

It can become blocked by the tongue and regurgitation of stomach contents. This will stop the casualty from breathing which could result in death.

The recovery position:

​

When you have established that a person is breathing normally but they are still unconscious, you should put that person into the recovery position.

​

NOW: ​Explain what you think this position looks like to the person next to you.

Over the next few weeks...

​

We will continue to learn about DRsABC and the recovery position (as well as other important First Aid skills).

​

​For now, let's log off and watch two useful videos about what we have covered so far. These videos are on a OneNote page titled 'Primary survey and the recovery position'.
