Premergency First Aid, CPR and AED Manual

7 Bleeding, Wound Care and Trauma

No matter what type of wound or how minor it may be, always follow the steps of PSM including scene assessment, safety, and the assessment of life threats.

First Aider in Action: Part 7 With the bandage in place and perfusion good below the wound, you and another person prepare to help Anita to the car. You decide to have a person on either side for support and to be ready to carry her if necessary. Anita says she feels much better, but you tell her to take it slow, avoid pressure on her injured foot, and say immediately if she feels faint.

What do you need to consider while transporting Anita to the hospital?
