If someone's involved in an accident, you need to assess what injuries the person has. If they're conscious you can talk to them while doing the full head to toe assessment of their body, looking out for injuries to their body. Oh, I'm so sorry. I just didn't... Just didn't see you. It's okay. It's okay. Are you hurt? Are you hurt? It's my leg. You've hit my leg quite hard. Oh, I'm so sorry. First, you need to approach safely, think of scene safety and introduce yourself and get the person's permission to help. You're looking for the signs and symptoms. Signs are what you see and symptoms are what the patient tells you. Alright, I saw what happened. It's his leg. It's his leg. That's alright. Let's remain calm. Stay still, sir, it's fine. I'm here. I'm a first aider, so I'm going to help you. Okay. Don't panic too much. It's his leg, his leg. He's got a hurt leg. Okay. In that case, you've got a leg injury so please call the emergency services. Yeah. Of course. Tell them what's happened, explain to them the injury and come back and let me know. Please. Thank you. What's your name, sir? Taylor. Taylor. The emergency services have been called, so they'll be on their way as soon as possible. What I'm going to do is I'm going to feel around the head and round the body to see whether there's any deformity, any grazes or any extra injury that was caused. Okay. And so try not to move. Keep still. Keep calm. We're here to help. Just let me know wherever it hurts wherever I touch. It's okay there. Okay. Do let me know where there's injury or there's any pain. It feels okay around there. Okay. I'm just going to check your cheeks. Okay. If you don't mind opening your mouth for me, please, sir. Okay. I'm just going to check inside of your ears. Okay. Keep calm. Okay. Alright. Now, what I'm going to need you to do, sir, is I need you to look at my finger, try not to move the head, keep still and if you can follow my finger. I'm going to go from right to left. Okay. I think I can see it. Yeah? Yeah. Okay. Excellent. I'm now going to work my way down the body to check for [02:24] ____ areas. Okay. Don't worry, the emergency services will be here soon. Okay, I need to check your other arm as well. My left arm's a bit sore. A little bit sore? I think I landed quite badly on it. You might have grazed it. Okay. So were you on your way to work today? Yeah. I just work across the road there. Right. I just didn't see the car or anything. Okay. Came out of nowhere. Yeah, my left leg's really bad. I landed on it I think quite hard. Okay. Any forms of pain? Just my left arm and my left leg where I've landed. Okay. Alright. I'm going to check the bottom half now. I'm not going to touch your left arm as it is in pain. So we will come back to it at some point, and I'm not going to touch your left leg, okay, but I am going to work down the right leg. Let me know again if there's any pain. It's okay. Is that alright? The right leg's okay, yeah. Thank you. Okay. Alright, well, keep calm. Don't panic. Alright. I'm going to need you to wiggle your toes for me, please. Alright. The emergency services are on their way. They won't be long. Okay. Thank you. Alright, I'm trying my right foot now. Alright. Okay. Now, what we're going to do is we're going to wait for the emergency services now. In this example, the person's been hit by a car. We do not suspect spinal injury so we can carry out an assessment, starting at the head and talking to the patient the whole time. Once you've completed the assessment, you can treat the injuries and you can pass this information onto the EMS when they arrive.
Accident Injury Assessment Guide
Introduction
When someone is involved in an accident, it is crucial to assess their injuries promptly. If the person is conscious, you can talk to them while performing a thorough head-to-toe assessment, checking for any injuries.
Initial Steps
Begin by ensuring your own safety and the safety of the scene. Introduce yourself to the person and obtain their permission to assist. Observe for signs and symptoms of injury. Signs are what you see, and symptoms are what the patient tells you.
Conducting the Assessment
In this example, the person has been hit by a car, and we do not suspect a spinal injury. Follow these steps for a complete assessment:
- Start at the head, checking for any visible injuries or abnormalities.
- Continue talking to the patient throughout the assessment to keep them calm and gather information.
- Progress methodically from head to toe, examining each part of the body for signs of injury.
Treating Injuries
Once the assessment is complete, treat any injuries as needed. Ensure you document your findings and be prepared to pass this information on to Emergency Medical Services (EMS) when they arrive.
Conclusion
Conducting a thorough injury assessment and maintaining clear communication with the patient are essential steps in managing accidents effectively. Your actions can significantly impact the patient's outcome and aid in their recovery.
