In brief, in this class we learnt about injuries and their treatment.

It is important to rest, ice, compress and elevate for sprains and strains.

For cuts and bruises you have to stop the bleeding by applying pressure, clean the wound, cover the wound and make sure you don’t have further infections.

Incase of eye injuries don’t rub with your hands, wash with clean water.

If someone has a concussion - check their breathing etc and only move the person if necessary.

For fractures, there is a specific way to wrap the bandage. You can identify it if it turns red and swells immediately and not after some time.

The session covered various types of injuries commonly encountered, including sprains, strains, fractures, cuts, bruises, concussions, trips, falls, burns, eye injuries, and repetitive strain injuries. The administering first aid guide outlines steps such as assessing the situation, calling for help, performing a primary survey, providing basic first aid, comforting and monitoring, and considering special cases. Treatments for specific injuries include rest, ice, compression for sprains and strains, washing hands, stopping bleeding, cleaning wounds, applying antibiotics, covering wounds, getting tetanus shots, and watching for signs of infection for cuts and bruises. For concussions, it's crucial to check for loss of consciousness and mental awareness. Eye injuries require washing with clean water or saline solution and avoiding touching or rubbing the eyes. Repetitive strain injuries may be managed with rest, avoiding aggravating activities, and using cold packs to reduce swelling.

The types of injuries and how to take action on them:

Sprain and Strain: Often occur during sports or physical activity.

Rest- stop any exercise or activities and try not to put any weight on the injury. In cases of bleeding, stop the bleeding.

Ice- apply an ice-pack to the injury for 15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours.

Compression- wrap a bandage around the injury to support it.

Elevate- elevate the injury to promote blood flow.

Fracture: Fractures can happen from falls or accidents on the playground or during sports.

Ice- ice the injury to reduce swelling.

Put a board under the arm to reduce movement.

Wrap the crepe bandage tightly.

The patient will be sent to the hospital.

Cuts and Bruises: Resulting from various activities, including rough play or accidents.

Wash the cuts.

Stop the bleeding.

Clean the wound.

Put on an antibiotic or petroleum jelly.

Cover the wound.

Change the covering.

Get a tetanus shot.

watch for signs of infection

Concussion: Commonly seen in sports-related activities and falls.

Check for loss of consciousness. If the person is unconscious, check their airway and breathing. Do not move the person unless absolutely necessary. Check the person's mental awareness.

It is very important to asses the injury carefully and then take action.

For an injury: Rest and avoid weight on it, ice it regularly, compress with a bandage, stop bleeding with pressure, and immobilize the area.

For cuts and bruises: Wash hands, stop bleeding, clean wound, apply ointment, cover, change dressing, consider tetanus shot, watch for infection signs.

For unconsciousness: Check airway and breathing, avoid moving unless necessary, assess mental awareness

For eye care: Rinse with water or saline, blink to remove particles, avoid touching or rubbing the eye.

For early-stage relief: Rest hands often, avoid aggravating activities, use cold packs to reduce swelling.

How to treat a wound

Sprains and strains treatment:

Rest - stop any exercise or activities and try not to put any weight on the injury. Ice - anoly an ice pack to the injury for up to 15-20 minutes every 2 to 3 hours. Compression - wrap a bandage around the injury to support it.

Stop any bleeding. Apply pressure to the wound with a sterile bandage, a clean cloth or a clean piece of clothing. Immobilize the injured area.

Cuts and bruises treatment:

Wash your hands. This helps avoid infection.

Stop the bleeding.

Clean the wound.

Put on an antibiotic or petroleum jelly.

Cover the wound.

Change the covering.

Get a tetanus shot.

watch for signs of infection

Concussion:

Check for loss of consciousness. If the person is unconscious, check their airway and breathing. Do not move the person unless absolutely necessary. Check the person's mental awareness.

Eye injuries treatment

The eye should be washed with clean water or saline solution. Blinking several times, as this may help remove small particles of sand or dirt from the eye. The eyes should not be touched with anything, rubbed with hands, or trying to remove the foreign body, because this will harm the eye.

Repetitive strain injuries

• In the early stages, simple things that you can do for yourself may make the symptoms go away. For example: Take more-frequent breaks to rest the hands. Don't do activities that make symptoms worse. Use cold packs to reduce swelling.

I learned how to take care of an injury if you get an injury Either from sports or playing. The types of injury’s are strains, sprains, Fracture, cuts, bruises, concussions, trips, falls, burns, and eye injury. In this session, we learned what to do if we get hurt or get a injury.

# data[].attributes.body
TYPE OF INJURIES

Sprains and strains are common injuries that can occur during sports or physical activities. Fractures, cuts, bruises, and concussions are common injuries that can occur during sports or falls. Trips and falls can lead to various injuries, from minor bruises to more serious fractures or head injuries. Eye injuries can also occur during sports, science experiments, or accidents with school supplies. Repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, can result from excessive computer or writing activities.

First Aid for these injuries involves assessing the situation, calling for help, performing a primary survey, providing basic first aid, comforting and monitoring, and special considerations. Treatment for sprains and strains includes rest, ice, compression, and stopping bleeding. For cuts and bruises, washing hands, cleaning the wound, applying antibiotics or petroleum jelly, covering the wound, changing the covering, and receiving a tetanus shot are essential.

Concussions should be checked for loss of consciousness, airway and breathing, and mental awareness. Eye injuries should be washed with clean water or saline solution, blinking several times, and not touching the eye. Repetitive strain injuries can be managed by taking more frequent breaks, avoiding activities that worsen symptoms, and using cold packs to reduce swelling.

In the class we learnt about the different types of injuries and how to treat them:
- Sprains and strains- ice pack, put volini and put crape bandage(figure 8 method)
- Cuts and bruises- put savalon and put bandaid
- Eye injuries

Sprains ~ Often occur during sports or physical activities

Fractures ~ Mostly fractures happen to younger children and occur during sports

Cuts/ Bruises ~ Results from various activities like tough play or accidents

Concussions ~ Commonly seen in sports related activities

Burns ~ Sometimes happen in science labs or in cafeteria

Eye Injury ~ Can occur from accidents

Repetitive Strain Injury ~ Such as carpal tunnel syndrome or from typing on computer

There are also different ways to heal and treat each injurie and different ways and medicines to heal it.

First aid covers various injuries, such as sprains, fractures, cuts, bruises, burns, eye injuries, and repetitive strain injuries. Administering first aid involves assessing, calling for help, performing a primary survey, providing basic care, comforting the patient, and considering specific needs. Treatment varies—sprains require rest, ice, compression, and immobilization. Cuts need cleaning, antibiotics, and monitoring for infection. Concussion management involves checking consciousness and monitoring awareness. Eye injuries should be washed with care. Repetitive strain injuries may improve with self-care like breaks and cold packs. Effective first aid is crucial for prompt and proper injury management.

I think the session was very productive because I got to know a lot about how to decipher a particular injury and cure if necessary. I many times used to rub my eyes when it was itchy or when something went in my eye. It will surely help me in the future.
