That can decrease the swelling of a contusion or slow the bleeding from a scalp laceration but in the case of head trauma, you really need to get to medical care. You could be courting real trouble if you don't get it checked out.

What part of the head do you use for a head butt?

Your forehead is used for a 'head butt'. However, it is important to say that 'head butting' can cause considerable injury! It can cause a broken nose, skull fracture, concussion, brain injury, or even sudden death (also known as a "one punch death"). Head butting should be left to animals who use it to communicate authority and alpha status, as well as a 'greeting', since animals rarely break each others skulls or cause injury or death!Again, 'head butting' is a form of immature aggression in humans and can cause considerable injury or death! NO ONE should head butt another person!

An Airman in your unit is not breathing and appears to be unconscious You suspect there may be a neck injury What is the preferred method to open the airway?

Patients with a decreased level of consciousness due to a head injury should be clinically evaluated in order to decide whether they require advanced airway management. If they do need to be intubated, this should be done via Rapid Sequence Intubation as intubation with sedation only is associated with a worse outcome. If RSI is not available strongly consider transporting the patient in the lateral position with a high-flow oxygen mask in place to a facility that can perform RSI.


If the victim has a back injury which of following transport methods should you use?

Leave them as they are
