Casualty Care - DEF

This week the team continued their Casualty Care training, following on from last week's DR's ABC... they looked at DEF, unfortunately not all of the team were paying attention.

Karen wasn't convinced Danny had got the right idea

D - check for Disability resulting from the injuries

E - check and protect against Exposure

F - examine for Fractures

Casualty Care - DR's ABC

This week the team had their first Casualty Care training, they started off with the basics of DR's ABC.

"We learnt lots of information about CPR. The main thing I need to remember is DR's ABC.

D - check for Danger

R - check for Response

s - Shout for help (dial 999 or 112 in the United Kingdom)

A - is the Airway open and maintainable

B - are they Breathing?

C - how is their Circulation?

I feel much more confident now I have a structured approach to helping somebody in trouble." - Tony (DLMRT)
