This includes being suitably prepared in terms of their available sports first aid kit which can refer to either a run-on bag or a more encompassing kit that covers all immediate treatment essentials.

What are the 5 main aims of first aid?

Since First Aid refers to the immediate treatment provided to someone who has incurred a casualty or serious injury, it is meant to be the initial response before any Emergency services such as Ambulances and paramedics arrive.

Therefore, pitch-side/sports first aid aims to stop any serious external bleeding, make sure the airways are clear, make sure breathing is normal, assess internal bleeding, analyse the context, examine the patient and finally assess their mental state such as identifying neurological conditions or temporary brain injuries such as concussions.

ABCDE is a handy acronym for remembering these aims and it stands for Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability and Exposure.

The golden rules and principles of First aid refer to staying calm while preserving life, Controlling the situation to prevent further injury and attending to the injured, Managing the injury and assisting with recovery and providing effective pain relief. The 3 P’s can help you to remember this: Preserve Life. Prevent The Situation Worsening. Promote Recovery.

What are the 3 types of injury?

Your Sports First Aid Kit should cover all the different types of injuries. Sports Injuries can be classified into three main categories: Acute, Chronic and Overuse. Acute Sports Injuries refer to a one-off but potentially damaging/traumatic event that has lasting implications such as a fracture, sprains, and strains.

Chronic Sports injuries refer to stubborn injuries that just don’t seem to naturally resolve themselves and can cause reoccurring pain and limitations. Overuse Sports Injuries are injuries caused by repetitive use of certain muscles and joints and can simply happen over time such as Tennis elbow, Runner’s and Jumper’s Knee and Achilles tendonitis
