Occupation comes to an end with any kind of sport presence of a trauma at the athlete or the fan sooner or later. It does not mean at all that all people are careless and hasty, just with such sad moment as sports injuries, each person without exception who at least few years played sports meets. But it is not necessary to be afraid of sports injuries at all and because of it to stop playing sports. If you are reasonably, adequately and slowly to perform the physical operations peculiar to your favourite sport, then serious injuries you will avoid. Nevertheless the nobility how to give first aid at sports injuries it is necessary for any person, even to the one who does not play sports (it is possible to be traumatized, leaving the house and having faltered about a threshold).
First aid at bruises and strain of muscle, sinews and ligaments
First of all to the injured person to the place of damage apply the bandage moistened with cold water, a towel, a gauze or the ice wrapped in any fabric. Impact of cold to the place of a trauma promotes narrowing of vessels, to decrease in internal hemorrhage, reduction of a tumor and pain. It is desirable to put ice 20 minutes with small breaks before achievement of positive effect – reduction of pain and a tumor.
After the procedure of cooling apply a hard bandage, it is desirable from elastic bandage. It is necessary to bandage the damaged surface from below up, taking the previous turnover of bandage on 2/3 subsequent turn.
The damaged part of a body after fixing has to be on the eminence and at rest. In 4 hours after a trauma the procedure of cooling should be repeated, then accurately to apply a thin film of anti-inflammatory ointment, to impose a dry napkin and then again hard (but not squeezing) a bintovy bandage. To repeat the procedure each 5-6 hours within 2-3 days.
First aid at bleedings, fractures and dislocations
The intensity of bleeding depends on depth and the place of damage on a human body. Anyway first of all it is necessary to process a wound to avoid infection. Cotton wool or the tampon moistened with 3-hprotsentny peroxide of hydrogen will be suitable for processing of a wound. If bleeding strong, so one of veins or arteries is touched. At such bleeding first of all it is necessary to impose a plait (to make a plait several turns) above the damaged place. The first several minutes it is possible to press down fingers the place above a wound (it is necessary to press very strongly) until there is a plait or any rope replacing it.
At bleeding from a nose it is necessary to lay the victim so that the head was not thrown back. The tampon moistened with hydrogen peroxide is inserted into a nasal opening and at the same time on a nose bridge it is necessary to put the gauze moistened with cold water.
At suspicion of a fracture or dislocation carry out the procedure of cooling of the injured part of the body and fix the place of a fracture or dislocation the transport tire. That is fixing of a change has to cover at least two joints which are above and lower than damage. Instead of the standard tire it is possible to use any objects which are near at hand – sticks, pieces of plywood, a board, etc. During transportation of the victim, at a fracture of the upper extremity, the hand bent in an elbow is tied up on a kerchief. If the humeral bone is broken, the hand is tied to a trunk and if the leg is injured, the injured leg is tied to healthy.
And in conclusion it should be noted that anyway, the person who suffered a serious injury or a trauma of average weight should be brought to the specialist doctor. First aid this help given right after receiving a sports injury, this help is not final treatment after which the athlete will return to former physical shape.
