"SLC21/WK1: Empowering Life-Saving Skills: A Guide to First Response and Basic First Aid"

Hello Everyone. I am @shiftitamanna
From #Bangladesh

Assalamu Alaikum everyone. Today I am going to participate in the Steemit Learning Challenge. Where our teaching topic is Empowering Life-Saving Skills: A Guide to First Response and Basic First Aid. In fact I think basic medical knowledge is necessary in our daily life. In continuation of that I will share my experience and basic education with you.

Share your any experience of your life, in which you faced the emergency that could be handled by your own only if you know the basic first response skills.

I have had many experiences in my life where I have faced emergencies. But today I will share about an emergency situation that occurred in my home a few days ago. Basically the incident happened with my younger sister. I have three cats in my house which are quite calm. But a few days ago two cats got into a fight and when my sister tried to separate the two cats, one of my sister's fingers was damaged by a cat's claw and immediately started bleeding from the injured area.

In such a situation, I first bring the box of First Aid in my house and take out cotton from there and soak the cotton in antiseptic liquid soap and clean the wound very quickly. Then take out Savlon ointment from the box of First Aid box and put it on the wound and bandage it. Through this, the bleeding from the wound is immediately stopped. Although we vaccinate my house cats on time but still later that evening we went to the hospital and consulted the doctor to get my sister vaccinated for the said wound.

This is not my first experience but that day I stopped the bleeding from my sisters wound with first aid from my home and used antiseptic liquid to prevent germs from sticking to the wound which are part of first aid.

Imagine you are walking back home, when you witness a road traffic accident between a car and a motorcycle, and the motorcyclist is lying on the road, not moving. There’s some bleeding from his leg, and he appears to be unconscious. You being the first responder, how will you manage this scenario?

If a motorcyclist faints in a road accident and his leg continues to bleed, I would go to the unconscious person first. First of all, I will raise his feet and tie them with a clean cloth-handkerchief. One thing I would be aware of in this case is that the man's feet should be higher than his heart. In this case, blood loss from the injured person's body will be less.

On the other hand, since the person will be in an unconscious state, I will first remove the crowd from the unconscious person and provide free air and loosen the clothes worn on the body. Then I will take care that the patient's teeth do not stick, so that the handkerchief is fried and put between the two teeth and I will splash water in the eyes and mouth. Then I will massage the palms of my hands and feet and then seek medical attention as soon as possible. In this case, I think the initial injured or unconscious person will recover quickly.

Draw or Create an engaging illustration/flowchart of DRABC protocol.

I have created a flowchart of the DRABC protocol as I understand it. I have tried to write the details in the attached flowchart to get a better idea about the protocol. Below I present the DRABC protocol using the Canva Pro app:

Plagiarism Check: Pass
AI Use: No

QuestionWhat the Student Did WellAreas for ImprovementGrading
Question 1Provided a well-detailed description of an emergency event involving your sister's cut.Although you effectively managed the scene, adding some emotional components and describing your sister's response at that moment could make the scene more elaborative. Additionally, the real question was what you would have done if you were a first responder at that moment.[Grade: 1.2]
Question 2Effectively described how you would manage the emergency at the roadside.You have a very poor understanding of the DRABC protocol. You didn’t mention any of the steps of the DRABC protocol, like danger, response, airway, breathing, and circulation. You directly jumped to the circulation part. Checking for danger first and ensuring your own safety is of utmost priority. Also, calling for help is an essential component of being a first responder.[Grade: 0.3]
Question 3Included relevant emergency contacts and provided a thorough overview of the services each contact number represents, making it a well-rounded and useful resource.Excellent work providing emergency contacts; however, including more emergency services (e.g., natural disaster relief, national suicide prevention) would make it more comprehensive. Consider expanding each description to briefly explain how these services respond to specific emergencies.[Grade: 1.2]
Question 4Created an illustration of the DRABC protocol, showcasing creativity in visual presentation. To be honest, I really liked the visual representation of the DRABC protocol you made.While the illustration was a good effort, adding icons or labels and arrows would better elaborate the dynamic approach of the DRABC protocol.[Grade: 2.4]
Question 5Completed the quiz accurately, fulfilling the task requirements.Good work; 8 out of 10 questions were correct. To avoid confusion, I'd advise you to read the lesson and have a better understanding before moving on to lesson 2.[Grade: 2.0]

General Feedback:
Overall, you demonstrated a solid understanding of emergency management and displayed creativity in your presentation. However, focusing on the details of established protocols like DRABC will enhance your responses. Keep up the good work, and I encourage you to review the feedback provided to strengthen your understanding further.

Thank you.
