first aid training : day 1 night

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

After we taken our sponsered dinner by st john, we back to camp and start our next activity. the night lecturer will be talking how to perform first aid in wildness

then they tell us what suppose be in the first aid kit, first aid kit should have plenty of bandage, 2 pair of glove. the most important and frequence use are triangle bandage, i think we should keep at least 5 of that. it use to bandage, immobilize and bind thing.  the quality of the triangle bandange should be cloth but not linen cloth. linen cloth not firm enough.

after that we learn on making different type of bandage using triangle bandange, then learn how to use the walkie talkie, learn how to put patient on the stretcher.

after all of this, we seperate into 4 group n go for night rescue. our “victim” found lay near the longkang, poor guy.

he told us he fall down on the way walk back from toilet and he is alone.
then our team leader keep call back to the base to require for action, all other team member just stand there dunno what to do(include me) then one of them go near check the patient, talk with him and ask what wrong. at the same time then another guy go and check his injury. they checking the chest, left right hand, left leg then they start calling in the stretcher.
now we are the victim because our patient is a quite strong guy with many muscle. we have to carry this heavy weight guy to walk around half mile to the base.
once we reach the camp, the trainer start to told us our mistake
1, why the team leader keep talking in the walkie, ask for how to handle the patient from the base which is miles away. he should react by himself and try his effort to help the patient.
2, the team is ruin because there are no instruction given by the leader, everyone stand there watching show. the patient lay there for 15 min no one go to check what is his problem and lay there for 45 min only we bring him up to the stretcher
3, we did not check on back of his body for wound and etc.
4, we should ask the patient whatever he can walk or not, is it more easy to bring out a patient that can walk by himself then bring him out using a stretcher.
5, whatever we do we should tell the patient first, no people like others to touch on thier body without authority unless they are fainted. patient are much more cooperate if they know what you are doing and they will help you if they are confidence to you.
6. do not argue with the team leader in front the patient, the patient will lose confidence on the rescue and may resist to give coorperation on the rescue process.

after that we go back to the base and sleep. there are something that i feel very stupid which is…
first at all i follow my sister went into a room, then i notice the whole room is girl, so i say .. o.. sorry, didnt notice this is a girl room then i want to go out from the room already. but than my sister stop me and tell me.. at that corner actually a guy was sleep there, so ask me sleep beside that guy to act as a barrier from stopping the guy roll over, hahaahha. . i wonder why that guy so not understanding, or he just because wan to sleep with a whole room of girl?
then the 2nd thing more idoit. after all light was close, i on my mobile msn and chat a while  with my friend. suddenlly a flash alert me, that stupid guy snapping picture in the room. = =”. than that guy snap another, those girl are so mad at home, one of them directly warning him do not do that again.
wat an idoit snapping picture when everyone are trying to sleep. when ask him why he doing that.. he told us for memorize = = crazy de
then 3rd.. someone talk in the phone quite loud at around 3am (i think), that idoit been wake by the noise then he shout inside the room “stop talking so loud at the night, everyone want to have a sleep” wtf.. end out i get awaked by his voice.

First Aid first day

Monday, July 6th, 2009
first at all we stop by and take our break first together with other trainner at the meeting point, then we turn in into genting awana long house. the first thing was take attendance, what end up is doing an introduce to all the people by… the first ppl just speak his name, then the second ppl have to speak the frist ppl name and his name. the fomular are.. if u are fifth people, u need to speak “hi everyone, im kc. in awana genting i meet n-4, n-3, n-2, n-1″ =.=. i end out with.. shit.. lucky i standing in front. if im at the end i will die ==
 
then the lesson start by introduce the basic of first aid. what is first aid, what should we do, CPR.
first aid is.. something that u identify the patient, maintain his life signal, secure the patient, bandange and medic eva to some place that is away from danger or place that can perform medical treatment. however, they put high attention on.. “we do not want death hero”, before we save anyone, make sure you are safe.
 
after that we learn about CPR. there are code for CPR which call. DRABC
hehe but personally i like to call is DR. ABC by putting a dot there.
D - Danger
R - Respone
A - Airway
B - Breath
C - Circullar (Air and Blood circullar
 
stage 1
step 1, if you saw anyone collapse on the road, first we have to use 10 second only to identify what happend, is it just slip down or is a fatal faint. if we goto help them, is there any visible or hidden danger waiting ahead us? (example electic shock, incoming car, falling object etc)
step 2, after identify there are no danger, then we should go near and check for his response. if he have response then good we can go for another stage
step 3,  we need to try check whatever he is breathing. first we have to head tilt chin up, then open his mouth and check anything inside blocking the air way, if breathing then good. the way to know is simple. just lower our ear until on top his mouth and look on his chest. feel, listen and look for any breath sign. u may feel air flow between his nose and mouth or the sound of the air flow. or u can see his chest moving. if everything is negative then we have to call for help, ask anyone nearby to call for ambulance but do not provide them your own hp.
step 4. put on a face shield on top of his face (always avoid get inflected, if do not have face shield then skip this, just check obstuction in airway and start do chest pressing is good enough in this case, remember in mind that you are only a first aid personal, not a doctor), give two golden air blow into his mouth. your mouth have to fully cover the patient lips (like eating the whole mouth), it is not like kissing for lips to lip, the air will lack out. the interval of each blow is 5second because we need the air flow out, we are not blowing balloon. over blow will let the air goto the stamoch and whatever eat ate last night can be identify later = = (come out together with the air).
step 5, after the 2 golden blow, check see whatever the patient resume the breath (sometime it will trigger and remind the lung they suppose to work XD )
step 6, if negative, start do pump the chest. first find the nipple and get the center of the nipple (not really need to open the cloth = = just agar can laio ), straigthen the hand, use the body to press on the patient chest, not hand because if use arm strength it will be excusted very fast. do 30 time of pumping then give 2 air blow to the patient, the ratio is 30:2. 30 pump, 2 blow. repeat total 5 circle.
step 7, once 5 circle, stop and check for life sign, if he start brave then good, if not then do another 30:2 x 5 then check. stop only when patient restore life sign or the medical people reach.
 
recovery position
2nd stage, once patient restore, we have to put the patient into recover position. put his hand beside his ear, it should be touching by back of the hand, then cross his leg and turn him. careful his head when turn. the main goal is let the patient sleep side way so if he vomit it will not chok him and the tougue wont block the air way. put his leg 90 degree but not straight, just like we hugging a pillow position. this will avoid him to turn himself over. now we can see the reason of putting the back of the hand beside the ear, so the thicker side of the hand will be touching the road or surface and will not hurt his hand or face.
 
the 2nd stage also can use for ppl that is… 发羊吊, when 发羊吊, just let him lay side way. nothing u can do except watch. do not try to put spoon and open his mouth, he can bite off your finger and both of u will feel sorry forever. 发羊吊 only last for few minute, just leave him alone, it wont kill and u just need to make sure his tougue did not block his airway. once he end of that, just put him to recovery position. let him sleep
 
then we learn about type of wound, burning, cutting, pierce and how to handle.
 
they share a lot of their experince to us and really need to thanks them a lot. lolx continue with night time when i feel wanna write any XD
 
edited due to wrong step 3 XD
