5 Introduction Sta ndard Precautions Standard precautions are a set of guidelines that aim to protect people from accidental exposure to blood or other body substances. Standard precautions include wearing gloves when in contact with blood or other body substances, and washing your hands before and after treating a casualty. General principles When appropriate and wherever possible: Wear gloves Use other personal protective equipment such as face shields, masks or goggles Encourage the casualty to treat themselves, for example, apply pressure to their own bleeding wound Dispose of waste materials and sharps in the correct container Avoid injuries to yourself, for example: cuts from broken glass Wash your hands with soap and water or waterless hand wash. Exposure to blood and other body substances Care of the person exposed to blood or other body substances: Wash affected skin surfaces with soap and water (do not use soap or waterless solution to wash eyes or mouth) If eyes are contaminated, rinse thoroughly with water or saline, making sure the eyes are kept open during the rinsing If blood or other body substances get in the mouth, spit them out and rinse the mouth with water several times If clothing is contaminated, remove clothing and shower Follow any other workplace policies, seek medical advice, and attend any follow up treatment or monitoring.

6 Introduction 3. Sending for help calling Triple Zero (000) If required, shout for help or send someone to call Triple Zero (000) at the earliest possible stage. Triple Zero (000) is Australia s primary emergency services number. It should only be used in life-threatening and emergency situations to access emergency services (Ambulance, Police and Fire Department) from fixed, mobile or pay phones. Once connected you will be asked which service you require. Police, Fire or Ambulance? When calling Triple Zero (000) make sure that you: Stay calm, do not shout, speak slowly and clearly Answer the operator s questions Give details of where you are, including street number and name Give distances from known landmarks when in rural areas Stay focused, stay relevant Follow any instructions. Do not hang up the phone until directed to do so. Children and Triple Zero (000) Triple Zero example questions What is the exact address? What is your phone number? What is the problem? Tell me what happened. How old is the person? Is the person breathing normally? Is the person conscious? Every year many children call Triple Zero (000). Teaching children how to call Triple Zero (000) can often save a life. For more information visit the Triple Zero website at 14

9 Basic Life Support Chain of survival Basic Life Support DRS ABCD CPR Using an AED Choking Drowning Recovery position Early recognition and early management of emergency situations should be the priority of any first aider. Basic Life Support (BLS) is the care given to casualties with life-threatening injuries or illnesses and can be given in the community setting without the need for medical equipment. Basic Life Support includes the administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to temporarily maintain blood circulation and breathing to preserve brain function and life. Key topics In this chapter you will have the opportunity to learn the knowledge and skills related to managing emergencies and life-threatening situations. This will include; the chain of survival, Basic Life Support, the DRS ABCD action plan, CPR, use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), managing choking, drowning and the recovery position. Basic Life Support 23
10 Chain of Survival The concept of the Chain of survival and the 4 links in this chain summarise the vital steps needed for successful resuscitation in the event of a cardiac arrest. Basic Life Support In most communities it can take several minutes for an ambulance to arrive after the initial Triple Zero (000) call. During this time the survival of the casualty is dependent on bystanders who commence Basic Life Support (BLS) and, where available, use an AED for defibrillation. Early recognition of a lifethreatening situation, early CPR, early defibrillation and access to good post resuscitation care are the critical links to increasing the chances of survival. Early recognition Recognise signs of cardiac arrest or chest pain as the origin of cardiac problems and call Triple Zero (000). Early CPR Immediate bystander CPR can increase the chances of survival. Early defibrillation Early defibrillation (within minutes after collapse) can increase chances of survival. Early ALS Early Advanced Life Support and hospital care is critical to survival. People who experience a cardiac arrest need immediate CPR. Every minute of delay in CPR and defibrillation decreases survival rates. Remember: any attempt at resuscitation is better than no attempt at all. 24 Image European Resuscitation Council /044
