Today we did the first aid thing and it was interesting. I am glad we are going to continue with this because I still need to learn some major things. We were into groups of 4 and one person from our group was going to get "injured". I was in a group with Inga, Dennis, and Linus. Inga was the "injured". Our challenge/task was too help out Inga as if this was in a real situation. We had to do the a.b.c, which is airway, breathing and circulation.
Checking airway: The victim needs to be in right position first, so roll the person onto their back. make sure their hands are down by their sides and his back and legs are straight. the head needs to move so place one hand behind head and one under chin. then you need to tilt their head backwards towards the sky.
Checking breathing: you need to check if the person is breathing or not. See if the chest is rising. if the person is gasping to breath or not breathing properly, treat this as not breathing and check for circulation.
Checking circulation:
Once you find that he is not breathing, you need to check to see if his blood is still circulating. On the lifted area of the chin, place your index and middle fingers to the groove in the neck. Slip your fingers into the groove there. This is the carotid artery and should provide a strong pulse if his blood is circulating well.
We also played around of ultimate frisbee. I've played frisbee before but not like this one. It was okay but I hope I get to like it more next time because I have a feel we're going to play this game often.
