At the scene of a road collision, administering correct immediate first aid can stabilise casualties before emergency services arrive. Match each casualty condition with its recommended first aid action according to official UK guidance.
- Casualty with heavy, continuous bleeding from a limb woundApply firm, direct pressure over the site using a clean pad or dressing
- Casualty suffering from heat burns caused by vehicle componentsDouse the area with clean, cold water for at least 20 minutes
- Casualty in physical shock who is pale, cold, and agitatedKeep them warm, loosen tight clothing, and provide reassurance without food or drink
- Unconscious casualty who is breathing normally with a clear airwayPlace into the recovery position while monitoring breathing continuously
Cevap
Heavy bleeding matches with applying firm, direct pressure over the site; heat burns matches with dousing the area with clean, cold water for at least 20 minutes; physical shock matches with keeping them warm, loosening tight clothing, and offering reassurance without food or drink; unconscious but breathing normally matches with placing into the recovery position while monitoring breathing.
Each condition is paired with the standard UK Resuscitation Council and DVSA first aid protocol: direct pressure stops arterial/venous haemorrhage; cold water cooling (for at least 20 minutes) arrests burn tissue damage; warmth, comfort, and nil-by-mouth manage shock; and the recovery position maintains an open airway for an unresponsive breathing casualty.
