Val (Zebedee) Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Ok if I manage to find this thread again (i very rarely if ever find a thread ive started or said anything in again. ) illl put answers up. But note this is a very real question with a very real reason for its answer,not a trick question for sake of trick answer. Put in correct order the first casualtys you deal with in this accident you come across. A broken leg . A non breather. A person with severed leg. A major bleeder of artery. A decapitation. A heart stopped non breather. A greenstick fracture A lacerated patient. A cut hand. I was trained in emergency first aid in Royal Navy. I would go in order of: Heart-stopped, non-breather non-breather but get Mr Cut Hand to assist Severed leg get Mrs Greenstick Fracture to assist Major Bleeder of artery Lacerated patient Broken leg greenstick fracture cut hand decapitated (bit too late for that one) @Verrillion please tell me you didn't come across such carnage too often??

A heart stopped non breather. A greenstick fracture A lacerated patient. A cut hand. I was trained in emergency first aid in Royal Navy. If I'm seeing carnage on this scale and not accompanied by at least 2 fully crewed and kitted ambulances then I'd call it a major incident and start triage. Priority 1 - the artery and the severed leg Priority 2 - the broken leg (may become P1 depending on which bone is fractured, bleeding and shock) and possibly the laceration depending on where it is, how deep and whether there's anything in it Priority 3 - the green stick fracture and the cut hand Priority 0 - the decapitation (already definitely dead), the no pulse/not breathing and the not breathing as unfortunately its highly unlikely I can change their medical state without advanced equipment and time spent with them could be used to help those who have a better chance of survival. Harsh, but true. Use the P3's and any bystanders to help you with the P1 and P2 casualties wherever possible, and to call for help. (Way too many years and way too much Major Incident training with St John Ambulance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
