Thank you for the video. It’s easy to learn in a classroom without someone playing injured. It was very helpful.Thank you so much for this much simple video explaining this well!
Excellent video, an elevated sling is the one I am unsure of and this explains it very well. One minor gripe, the presenter says to use a reef knot, and then proceeds to tie a much inferior granny knot.
There is so much more important things for people to remember and practice such as cpr, medications etc that this stuff falls to the back burner and gets forgotten.
What a great video. Here I am in other part of the world being saved by your video. May God bless everyone that got involved in the making and uploading of this video ❤
Thanks I just did this on my child she stopped crying took her to ER they didn’t do anything but X-ray she still won’t move her arm. But now the splint stopped her from crying
According to my ex-military Duke of Edinburgh instructor, the most important person in a first aid situation is always yourself, so I guess it doesn't matter too much to you.
Teck Siang Kuan Press the casualty’s thumbnail until it turns yellow,and release,the bloody red colour should come back to the thumb in just two secs.It’s called capillary refill btw
The one crucial piece of info I needed was the orientation of the bandage as it is first applied and that is hard to see from this video. Which way up is the bandage for the elevation sling?
Thank you for making a simple video to show what to do for someone until you can get them to the ER, The doctor or wherever so the patient does not do more damage by using the arm. It’s easy to learn in a classroom without someone playing injured. The best place to learn is in the field on patients who of course are not in a life threatening situation because it will also help you judge the level of pain and help with swelling. CPR should be required in every school and then updated. My mother would not be here today if I had not learned CPR. The Ambulance crew, the doctor and nurses in the ER and the surgeon all told me that if I had not started it while calling 911 and waiting for them to arrive, she would not have needed to ambulance at all! If you have people you love and want to keep around.... learn it! It’s the best thing you can ever do.
Useful video but need to be clearer in the demonstration of which way around you are holding the sling. Ie which way the triangle point is facing. Thanks though.
Hi there. In some cases, a sling may not be required - they are only used temporarily for relief of pain/to rest the joint. We would suggest following the advice of any Health Professionals you have seen so far - otherwise which ever sling makes the joint more comfortable. With some shoulder injuries, some people find that a sling which enables the fingers of the injured side to touch the opposite shoulder, can allow the shoulder to fall into a more natural position and thus provide more comfort and support. Hope that helps!
Thank you so much. I got my red cross training two years ago and now I have forgot most of those things as I had to focus on my school even more. Now I'm after exam person, I have to get my knowledge back. Thank you so much for this much simple video explaining this well!
