Answer 1

1. Keep the patient alive.

• Control bleeding.
• Maintain airway and breathing
• Maintain cardiac function.
• Treat for shock

2. Stabilize

• Asses the patient overall (not just the traumas). Check for medic alerts
• Record vitals, alertness, complaints.
• In Hazmat, secure scene and access control.
• Stabilize victim -- splints et al.
• Move victim to litter if necessary -- C Collar if required.
• Address patient's comfort needs.

3. Transport.

• Develop a transport plan (e.g. get destination and route).
• If necessary and possible, set up Evac.
• Report that you're mobile, and ETA.
• If you're not in radio contact, set up communications with base to let them know your situation, intent, concerns and ETA.

4. Delivery

• Stay with the patient until you sign them off to someone else who will take responsibility.
• Report patient's original condition, current condition, meds before, meds en route and meds now,
• If necessary, contact patient's family (may not be your responsibility, depending).
• Clean up and secure

Answer 2

It depends what you mean by 'giving first aid'. You can use the general DR AB and DR ABCD DR ABC - D - Danger - is there any danger around you that could harm you or the casualty more? R - Response - gently tap and call the causlties name, does he/she respond? A - Airway - 2 fingers top of head, 2 fingers under chin, lift head back, open mouth, is there anything obstucting the airway? B - Breathing - Is the casualty breathing? Cheek above causlty's mouth, look down chest, can you feel the causlty's breath on you cheek? Can you see the casualty's chest rising and falling? DR ABCD is the same, but: When you feel no air on your cheek from the casualty C - Compressions - 5 rescue breaths, then 30 compressions, then 2 rescuebreaths, then 30 compressions, then 2 rescue breaths etc until casualty starts breathing normally or until a 999 crew get there. D - Defibrillator - An electrical device placed on the casualty body to shock their heart back to life - should only be used by a trained person ('999', trained first aiders etc) There are lots of websites to go on, and I recommend the BBC FIRST AID WEBSITE. If you type into a search engine (Google) 'BBC first aid' and there should be lots of videos and questions and other interactive items that can help you. The info ive given you is VERY basic. There is lots more to it. Happy learning!
