18. Wounds
Type of wound Basic Treatment
•Contusion Cool with ice pack or running water
•Abrasion Clean from the centre out
•Laceration Treat the bleeding & prevent infection
• Puncture Depending on severity seek medical advice.
Embedded objects must stay in place.
Damage to underlying organs must be considered
• Gun Shot Pack wound / apply pressure / call 999
• Amputation Collect and store amputated limb, treat for blood loss
and shock
• De-gloved Put skin back in place / arrange medical treatment.
19. Think Shock
• Considerable blood loss can result in
hypovolaemic or neurogenic shock.
• When treating bleeds look out for the following
signs and symptoms of shock:
Nausea, Weakness, Giddiness, Rapid / shallow
breathing, Rapid / Irregular pulse, Grey, sweaty
and cold clammy skin, blurred vision
20. Dealing with Shock
• Lay the casualty down and raise the feet.
• Keep the casualty warm
• Loosen tight clothing around neck, chest and
waist
• Monitor breathing, pulse and levels of response
• Call 999
• Be prepared to resuscitate.
21. Recording & Reporting Procedures
•Accident recording and reporting is required by law.
•As a first aider you are responsible for ensuring that the accident book is completed.
•Details of how the accident happened must be included.
•Your club should have a record of all accidents / injuries that occur on the premises
•British Judo require you to send in an incident form for any injuries that require hospital
treatment, any head injuries and anything where players go unconscious.

Priorities of Treatment
Imagine you are faced with all of the above injuries at the same time.
Who gets priority and why?
- Sort the above into order of priority, put the most serious at the top and
the least serious at the bottom.
- You can group injuries of equal severity if needed
- You need to be able to justify your answer.
24. * Stay calm but act swiftly. Ensure the ‘coach in charge’ is aware that an incident / accident has occurred
* The ‘coach in charge’ will observe the situation and make a determination on what action is needed.
- The ‘coach in charge’ will decide if the class needs to be stopped.
* The first aider should:
(1) Listen to what the injured person is saying.
(2) Ask others players who saw the incident / accident for their account of what happened.
(3) Use their first aid training to assess any injuries.
(4) Treat any minor injuries.
(5) Seek help for any serious injuries or those requiring specialist treatment - Call 999 if necessary.
* If the emergency services are required the first aider should ensure they can provide the number of the telephone
being used, the venue location, and details of the incident / suspected injuries.
* Players with major injuries should not be moved and should be monitored and comforted until the emergency
services arrive.
* If the injured player is a child contact the parent/guardian. Senior players should be asked if they would like an
emergency contact calling.
* Complete an incident/accident report form, for any incident / accident where action was
taken by a first aider.

Question: What is first aid ( what is the purpose of a first aider)?
Could present story of Hillsborough stadium
Begin session here with primary survey…
RICE - Rest Ice "COMFORT" - this because in the first instance you cannot always be sure it's not a fracture Elevation
AC JOINT SEPARATION Occurs between the ACROMION PROCESS of the the shoulder blade and the CLAVICLE.
The 'menisci' consist of a semilunar fibrocartilage, partly filling the space between the femoral and tibial articular surfaces. They stabilise the joint throughout its range of motion and contribute to the limitation of medial and lateral rotation as well as flexing and extension. They also serve as shock absorbers between the femur and tibia by increasing the contact area for weight bearing . Could be caused by impact and rotation in the knee joint possibly from TEI OTOSHI actions
The order of action is DR ABC, however if you are dealing with multiple casualties or multiple injuries these are four priorities in first aid. ONE: Breathing Maintaining an airway and sustaining breathing is vital to life. If we stop breathing, soon enough our heart stops as we starve our bodies and brains of oxygen. Tilt back the head, freeing the tongue from its resting position against the back of the throat. Pinch the nose and provide Rescue breathes / CPR. TWO: Bleeding The next thing to attend to after breathing is established is to 'plug the leaks.' Applying pressure with clean cloth and bandaging at the sites of the casualty's bleeding is the first step. Amputated body parts need to be wrapped in clean cloth, put in a sealable (if possible) plastic bag and then placed in icy water to preserve and promote tissue health for later re-attachment. THREE: Burns Burns, like the previous two, can be life-threatening. Burns, of course, don't just affect the skin, and they're not simply caused by heat-the respiratory tract can be burned when inhaling hot gases and chemicals can cause deadly burns. Electricity also causes serious burns, burning the casualty on the inside. Burns are also caused by exposure to extreme cold. FOUR: Bones Not many people have ever died from a broken bone; that's why this incredibly painful condition is the fourth priority. But treating broken bones properly aids the casualty's comfort and may even prevent shock.
