List the first aid measurements taken for neck injuries

1 answer

1. Check the person's airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs) to ensure they are stable.
2. Keep the person still and avoid moving their head or neck, unless absolutely necessary to maintain the person's airway.
3. Call for emergency medical assistance.
4. If the person is unconscious but breathing, carefully roll them onto their side and support their neck and head to keep it aligned with their body.
5. If there is bleeding, apply direct pressure to the wound with a sterile dressing.
6. If the person has a neck wound or injury that is bleeding heavily, do not attempt to control the bleeding by applying pressure directly to the neck; instead, apply pressure around the wound if possible.
7. If the person is not breathing or has no pulse, begin CPR immediately, being careful to support their neck and head to maintain alignment.
8. Monitor the person's condition closely until medical help arrives.
