Soft Splint (Sling)

Soft Splint (Sling)

A soft splint uses soft materials, such as a folded blanket, towel, pillow, or folded triangular bandage. A sling is a specific kind of soft splint that uses a triangular bandage that is tied to support an injured arm, wrist, or hand.

To apply a sling:

1. Support the arm above and below the site of the injury.
2. Place the triangular bandage under the injured arm and over the uninjured shoulder to form the sling.
3. Tie the ends of the sling at the side of the neck.

Do not use a sling for a long period of time. Immobilizing an arm for too long can cause a frozen shoulder.

This video was created to explain how to properly care for a heat exhaustion situation.

Joseph is running on the track at school and begins to show symptoms of heavy sweating, dizziness, and tiredness. He ignores these symptoms and continues to run. He then collapses. A bystander, Stephanie, witnessed him faint and calls 9-1-1. She tells them her name, where she is at, and what she saw. She then checks on Joseph and helps him over to a shaded area. She then gives him cool clothes for his neck and water to help cool him off.

Fantastic Four Video Project

There were three roles in the video; victim, bystander, and first responder. The skills used in this video were check, call, care. We checked the victim to make sure she still had a pulse and was breathing. We shook her to make sure she was conscious, or get her to wake up. We kept her in a sitting position after she woke up until she felt better. The only time to call 9-1-1 is if the victim has fainted more than once or does not wake up. The purpose of this video was to demonstrate proper skills in handling a fainting victim. This video isn't intended as a substitute for training.
