Paramedic Question:
Tell me as a Paramedic what should be your approach for treating broken bones?
Answer:
☛ Safety first: Make sure that victim is in a safe location.
☛ Check for ABC: Airway, Breathing and Circulation
☛ Stop Bleeding
☛ Look for other injuries: Head, Neck or Back
☛ With sterile dressings cover broken skin if there is any
☛ Wait for an ambulance, while shifting make sure the joints remain immobilize
☛ To reduce swelling you can use ice-bag, put towel between ice and skin surface to avoid frostbite
☛ If leg is broken, keep it elevated above the level of the heart
☛ Lay the victim on his or her back to reduce the chance of shock
