FIRST AID FOR FRACTURE.

About one lac people die on the road.Many of these lives can be saved if proper first aid is given.

One out of five people has a fracture at some point of time in his life,and the maximum of these occur during childhood.

At the site of accident,how a person can identify that there is fracture to that person who met with an accident.?

The pain of fracture is very severe,even the victim wont allow anybody to touch his injured part.but if there is sprain,its pain is less intensive then a pain of fracture.

Kinds of fracture--

                    1)simple fracture-It is just when the bone gets broken and there is no external wound.

            2)compound fracture-It is one in which the bone completely breaks and come out through the skin. 

Prevention- 

     1)Do not move the injured part.Give a pressure bandage to prevent the blood loss.

The steps to be followed while first aid-First of all call for the medical help.Always have an emergency number of ambulance with you in your mobile or dairy.
Till the ambulance come you should give first aid to patient in this way-

          1)Stabilise the injured part.It can be done by using handy material like a newspaper,magazine, or  piece of wood.

     2)Tie that wood or newspaper with any colth,so that no movement is possible in any direction.

     3)Apply 2 pieces,one on inner side of leg and another on the outer side of leg.

     4)The material used for stabilising the part should be large so that whole leg is immobilise.

     5)If in case no material is found to fix the leg ,you can also tie both legs together.

     For the upper part of body-

                     -if the fracture is present at the arm or forearm tie the injured part with the same method explained above.

                    -if the fracture is present at the hand,the other hand can be use for the support of injured hand untill the proper medical help come.

In case if there is a compound fracture-

        1)Stop the bleeding.It can take the life of the victim if the fracture is of a major bone.

        2)Bleeding can be stopped by cleaning it carefully and applying a clean dressing.

        3)Do not bandage tightly over the injured part.(tight bandage can be dangerous for the part)

        4)Do not bandage the part roughly.

        5)Wrong bandaging can lead to complications like swelling or necrosis

        6)Tie the bandage patiently so that whole the wound should cover properly.
