What actions to take in case of a fracture or other injury?
What to do if you witness another person being injured:
- assess the general condition of the victim: if there are breathing and pulse, the person is conscious,
- ensure a stable and motionless position of the injured body parts,
- make sure there is no bleeding and the person is breathing freely,
- call for help, such as an ambulance or emergency services, or call the emergency room,
- start CPR if necessary.
Help in the first minutes after an injury is extremely critical: it can minimize the consequences of damage and even save a person’s life. If possible, remember the details of how the injury occurred, as this information may be useful to the doctor when making a diagnosis.
