00:35 Good morning Doc.
00:36 Good morning Audrey and Rise and Shine team.
00:42 Good morning and thank you for your invitation.
00:47 Okay Doc, how can we ensure the safety of the victim
00:52 who was involved in a road accident while waiting for medical or ambulance help?
00:58 What are the first aid treatments for them?
01:02 Because time is very important when there is a disgrace.
01:07 And if you don't have training, the situation might get worse.
01:12 So what should we do, Doc?
01:14 This is what you can see on the website of Red Cross.
01:20 The mnemonic device is called Dr. ABC.
01:25 Dr. ABC stands for "D" Danger.
01:30 Before we approach the victim or patient, you should call an ambulance.
01:40 You can order someone to call the barangay or the town office ambulance
01:51 to bring the patient.
01:53 The "R" is the response.
01:55 We will approach the victim and check his consciousness.
02:02 If he is unconscious or he is breathing.
02:05 We will also check his vital signs.
02:10 Of course, you don't have a blood pressure apparatus as a witness.
02:19 But you can see if the victim is still breathing or not.
02:26 You can take his pulse and check his breathing.
02:33 The "A" is the airway.
02:36 The "B" is the breathing.
02:37 And the "C" is the circulation.
02:40 These are the first aid techniques that all people should know.
02:46 If the victim is not breathing, CPR is also important.
02:53 It is taught in schools and offices.
03:01 It is necessary for their training.
03:05 Doc, I just read a follow-up question.
03:08 If the accident is a motorcycle accident, the victim might have a hole in his neck or his back.
03:17 The ambulance should not move the victim and wait for the ambulance.
03:20 It is not good if the victim is in a wrong form. Is that right, Doc?
03:25 That is true.
03:27 The first instruction to doctors is "primum non nocere" or "first do no harm".
03:35 So if we think that the victim's neck is injured, we should not move it.
03:45 We should get a hard towel or something to put on the left and right side of the neck so that it will not move.
04:00 And the second instruction is "treat them where they lie".
04:05 We should not add more injuries to the victim if we remove the neck and put it in a different place.
04:16 Okay. Dr. Puhalte, this is for Diane Quirer.
04:21 If the bone is removed, it is called "open fracture".
04:25 If there is no ideal setup, we have a first aid kit in the vehicle.
04:32 But if there is no first aid kit, we should use a clean cloth or t-shirt and cover the wound.
04:41 If there is a bleeding, we should apply pressure.
04:48 If there is a split or a hard wood under the neck, we should apply pressure from the top and bottom.
05:04 In English, it means one joint above and below the fracture.
05:12 So if the fracture is in the 20th, we should apply pressure from the top to the bottom or ankle joint.
05:23 It is important to know about the first aid treatment because we should not put ourselves in that situation.
05:32 So we should know about it.
05:35 What are the common injuries that a person can get when he or she is in an accident?
05:43 The most common injury is a scratch or abrasion.
05:49 There is a laceration or a cut because of a car that hit a flat surface.
06:03 The third injury is a fracture or dislocation.
06:10 The head injury is a head injury.
06:18 There is also an abdominal injury.
06:22 The organs of the abdomen are damaged.
06:30 These are the common injuries that we see in accidents.
06:35 I am surprised by the statistics.
06:39 In 2022, 58,000 people in Metro Manila alone were in an accident.
06:46 In the first seven months of 2023, 45,000 people were in an accident.
06:50 We know that road injuries are on the rise because we are already reaching pre-pandemic levels.
07:00 The COVID pandemic is over.
07:03 There are now traffic accidents and road accidents.
07:08 What are the things that we should always carry with us when we are preparing for road accidents?
07:23 We should always carry bandages, elastic bandages so that we can compress and wrap a wound.
07:40 We should also put ice on the wound.
07:58 We should not put ice directly on the wound.
08:08 We should wrap it in a towel and place it on a bed to reduce swelling and pain.
08:13 Thank you for sharing important information and tips about first aid treatment for road accident victims.
08:24 Dr. Jose Puhalte, thank you.
08:28 Walang anuman.
