Bleeding

A short course to learn how to help someone

who is bleeding

Learning outcomes

I can identify when a casualty is bleeding

I can assess and provide first aid to a casualty who is bleeding

I can seek medical help if required for a casualty who is bleeding

Blood starter activityHave a guesshellip What percentage of the human body is made up of blood Does your blood contain gold How many kilometres would an adults blood vessels stretch if they

were laid out in a single line Is all blood red How many litres of blood are in an average adult Does blood keep us warm or cool

BloodBasic anatomy Blood contains lots of different things and

circulates around inside our body It provides our body with the things we need to survive

The H_ _ _ _ pumps blood around the body

Blood travels around the body inside of bloodV_ _ _ _ _ _ which are all different sizes These are called arteries veins and capillaries

Blood Activity A7

Blood is basically made up from 4 different thingsbullPlasma - 55 (the liquid part of the blood that helps to carry everything along)bullRed blood cells - 44 (these carry oxygen for your body to use) bullPlatelets - 05 (these help your blood to clot and stop bleeding) bullWhite blood cells - 05 (these help us to fight infections)

Activity Label each section of the pie chart with the correct part of blood Colour in each section of the pie chart a different colour Complete the following 1 Section A is coloured _________ and this represents the ____________ in the blood 2 Section B is coloured _________ and this represents the ____________ in the blood 3 Section C is coloured _________ and this represents the ____________ in the blood 4 Section D is coloured _________ and this represents the ____________ in the blood

Questions bullWhat makes up most of your blood bullWhat makes up least of your blood bullWhat type of cell in blood carries oxygen bullWhat part of blood helps us to clot if we get a cutbullWhat percentage blood do you get if you add the percentage of plasma to the percentage of red blood cells

What do you see

Activity A38Circulatory system

This activity tasks the students with creating a model of the circulatory system they can use

research or the pictures provided to helpUse the following slide to help you

CREATE THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

Blood carries oxygen and other things our bodies need around our body inside blood vessels Some vessels take blood with oxygen to our organs that need it in order to work properly Other blood vessels have the job of returning the blood to the lungs and heart after the oxygen has been used The blood is then re oxygenated and the heart pumps it around the body again This happens all the time without stopping even when we are asleep

Activity bullUsing one of the diagrams below make your own model of the way blood travels around the human bodybullRed represents the blood rich with oxygen and blue represents the blood that is returning to the lungs for reoxygenationbullYou can choose and use any materials you think will work well Consider colour pens wool or cut out paper etc Make them as informative and engaging as you can

What do you think

Signs and symptoms of someone who is bleeding could behellip

A SIGN is something you

can seeA SYMPTOM is something that

the casualty can feel

AnswersSigns and symptoms of someone with an internal or external bleed could be pale clammy cold skin rapid pulseheart beat rapid breathingshortness of breath feeling dizzy distress and anxiety greyblue tinge to the lips bruising and pain at site of the injury loss of responsiveness

pressure to the wound(but only if there is nothing stuck in it)

3 Apply a dressing to the woundthe pad goes over the injuryuse bandage to secure it in placemake sure the bandage is not too tightcall 999112

4 Apply second dressing if neededno more than two dressings at a time

5 If an object is in the wound do NOT removeput a pad on either side of the objectbandage carefully over the pads without pushing the object in any further

Your turn Nosebleed1 Sit

the casualty down leaning forward

2 Askthem to pinch the soft part of their nose for 10 minutes

3 Checkif the bleeding has stoppedif still bleeding pinch nose for a further 10 minutes

4 Recheckif still bleeding pinch for a further 10 minutes

5 Helpif bleeding has not stopped after a maximum of 30 minutes seek medical help

ActivityThink about

QUESTION How might a casualty feel if injured and bleeding

QUESTION What could you wear (if it is possible) when dealing with

someone who is bleeding Why

QUESTION What should you do straight away when you see someone who is

bleeding

Activity answers A9

Reassure Positioning

PressurePrimary survey Call for help

Immobilise Be alert for shock

ShockWhat is shock Shock is a life-threatening medical

condition which is caused by a lack of blood flow to tissues and organs in the body

The decreased blood flow means there is a lack of oxygen to the organs this can lead to tissue damage Shock requires quick treatment to prevent organ failure

Signs and symptoms of someone suffering from shock could be Rapid shallow breathing Cold clammy skin Rapid weak pulse Dizziness or fainting Weakness Sweating Chest pain

Your turn Dealing with shock1 Treat

any injuries that may have caused shock

2 Helpthe casualty to sit down then lie down

3 Raiseand support the casualtyrsquos legs if possible

4 Call999112

5 Reassurethem and loosen any tight clothing

6 Keepthe casualty warm

Activity A7Letrsquos make blood

Students now have the opportunity to create a model of our blood Students will learn about

basic blood content and the function of blood Use our downloadable worksheet which

can be found on the St John Ambulance website

Making blood

Making blood

Activity A5As part of our topic bleeding you have learned about the different parts which make up our blood Below are instructions for a group practical session to demonstrate and illustrate the different parts and functions of blood What you will needbullA jar of water that has been coloured yellowbullA jar of Cheerios breakfast cerealbullSmall white marshmallowsbullA salt shakerbullRed food colouringbullA spoonbullSmall porcupine balls or pom poms (from a craft set)

1 What colour do you think your blood is when you cut or scrape yourself You probably think itrsquos red The correct answer is even though blood LOOKS red the liquid part of blood is actually yellow and is called plasma 2 Our blood also contains salt and other chemicals Shake some salt in to the yellow plasma 3 There are other things floating in our blood that are very important for our bodiesbullRed blood cells (Cheerios) There are billions of red blood cells that look a little like donuts without a hole Their job is to carry oxygen There are so many of them floating in the plasma that it makes our blood look red Add in the Cheerios to the plasma which represents the red blood cells and squirt in some red food colouring bullWhite blood cells (marshmallows) The job of the white blood cells is to fight germs (infections) and disease Add marshmallows to the blood to represent the white blood cellsbullPlatelets (pom poms) The job of the platelets is to help us stop bleeding when we get injured Add pom poms to the blood to represent the platelets

Note ratios to consider - blood contains Plasma = 55

Red blood cells = 44

Platelets = 05

White blood cells= 05

Activity A11Make a stethoscope

Students now have the opportunity to construct a basic stethoscope They can listen

to each otherrsquos hearts and learn how a real stethoscope works Use our downloadable

worksheet which can be found on the St John Ambulance website

Making a stethoscope

What you will needbullFunnelbullGaffer tapebullCardboard tube

MethodbullAttach the funnel to the cardboard tube using gaffer tape bullPlace on a friendrsquos chest and listen to their heart beat bullCan you count how many times the heart beats in one minute

ExplanationbullStethoscopes used by healthcare professionals consist of a chest piece rubber tubes and earpieces The chest piece consists of a diaphragm and bell which amplifies sounds so that the healthcare professional can hear them

Stethoscopes are mostly used to listen to a personrsquos heart We can easily make a very basic stethoscope
