1 ADDITIONAL RESOURCES BLURB: Home can be a potentially dangerous place. A vast number of accidents resulting in injury occur in and around the home. For this reason, it makes a lot of sense to ensure that as many occupants of a household as possible have some basic skills in first aid. This program provides a rundown of the main types of injuries that occur in the home and how they should be treated. It includes what to do in an emergency, an outline and demonstration of the DRABCD procedure, dealing with burns, scalds and electrocution, cuts, laceration and bleeding, poisoning and overdose, asthma, allergies and anaphylaxis, and heart attack, stroke, diabetes and epilepsy. It provides clear verbal and visual information, portraying various scenarios within a home where immediate first aid intervention is required, and demonstrating the correct ways to administer relevant procedures. This program is an ideal learning resource for those studying first aid at an introductory level. Duration of resource: 25 Minutes Year of Production: 2013 Stock code: VEA12045 Resource written by: Megan Bertenshaw PDHPE Coordinator M. Physical Ed, B.Sec Ed Human Movt & Health
2 For Teachers Introduction This program focuses on developing an understanding of how to manage a range of emergency first aid situations that may occur in the home. The aim is to provide a practical approach to address current first aid procedures and practices that can be used by anyone who may find themselves as the primary first aider in a household emergency. This resource is divided into a number of segments that cover a range of topics including 1. DRSABCD, 2. Burns, scalds & electrocution, 3. Cuts, lacerations & bleeding, 4. Poisoning & overdose, 5. Asthma, allergies & anaphylaxis, 6. Medical conditions: heart attack, stroke, diabetic shock & epilepsy. Key concepts such as hazards, signs and symptoms, assessment and management are all explored using specific examples and demonstrations from around the home. The program features Claire Lobb an emergency specialist who provides clear and simple guidelines on how to manage a variety of injuries and serious medical conditions that can occur around the home. Information is also given about contacting emergency services and CPR techniques.
