Hey all, here are some of the common injuries that will occur during mass run
i'll put down the treatment also :)

GRAZES & CUTS
treatment:
1. Pour chlorhexidine over the injury
2. Apply pressure on the injury with guaze swabs (if bleeding)
3. Use a guaze swab and tab gently to dry the wound
4. Spread anticeptic cream on a new guaze swab by using a cotton bud
5. Use the gauze swab(with the anticeptic) to clean the wound
6. Use a new gauze swab with anticeptic cream and cover over the wound
7. Use micropore tape and stick the 4 sides of the guaze swab which is on the wound!
~END~

STRAINS & SPRAINS
treatment: (rice method)
1. Advise the casualty to sit or lie down(use your knee to support the injured prt)
2. Rest the injured part
3. Apply ice or a cold compress
4. Compress the injury
5. Elevate the injured part

* As we will have no cold compress or ice with us,
i think we do leg bandage on the casualty first,
den bring her back to canteen and ice her injury.
Remember to ask ma'am abt this tomorrow!

HEAT EXHAUSTION
treatment:
1. Help casualty to a cool place (try fanning her)
2. Get her to lie down with raised legs
3. Give her plenty of water (weak salt solution if possible)

i think these 3 injuries are the common ones...
but do revise others such as

- Heatstroke ;pg204 (not likely)
- Sunburn ;pg 202 (lol, not likely)
- Ankle injury ;pg 174 (possible)
- Knee injury ;pg 172 (likely)
- Back pain ;pg 168 (perhaps)
-Wrist injury ;pg 162
- Fainting ;pg 126 (not likely)
- Sudden Aathma ;pg 115 (not likely) gotta ask ma'ams

ok that's all, meet outside rc room at 6.55am
but do come early as we do not want to be late.
so do u all wanna meet at miniforum at 6.47 to 6.50am
dun have to bring anything.

*no joking and so much of talking during fa duty
*be confident (dun say 'shit' or 'urine' if u dunno how to treat)
*comfort the casualty
as long as you've put in your effort in treating the casualty, you'll feel happy :)
good luck everyone :) must have faith!

kisses and hugs
