Video Tutorial Balut Bidai

Summary

This video tutorial demonstrates the proper technique for applying a splint to a suspected bone fracture. The procedure involves two healthcare professionals: one stabilizing the injured area while the other applies the splint. The tutorial covers the necessary tools, such as sterile gauze, elastic bandages, and a splint, and guides viewers through the steps of immobilizing the fractured leg to prevent further injury. The process also includes checking for circulation, motor function, and sensation before and after the splint is applied, ensuring patient safety during transport to the hospital.

Takeaways

• 😀 The purpose of applying a splint is to support a suspected bone fracture and prevent further injury during transport to a hospital.
• 😀 At least two people are required to apply a splint: one to stabilize the injured area and another to apply the splint.
• 😀 The first step in splint application is to prepare the necessary tools: a clean cloth, a bandage, and an elastic bandage.
• 😀 One healthcare worker should hold the fractured leg to prevent it from moving and worsening the fracture, while the other checks for vital signs and prepares the splint.
• 😀 Vital signs include checking the dorsalis pedis pulse, assessing the patient's motor ability by asking them to move their foot, and testing sensation by lightly scraping the bottom of the foot.
• 😀 It is important to wear gloves to ensure cleanliness during the procedure.
• 😀 The healthcare worker applies three pieces of cloth (mitella) to the injured leg, ensuring they cover the fracture properly.
• 😀 The splint should be securely attached to both sides of the injured leg, with one healthcare worker holding the splint in place to prevent movement.
• 😀 The final piece of cloth (mitella) is tied with a figure-eight knot for additional stability.
• 😀 After the splint is securely in place, the healthcare worker should recheck the patient's pulse, motor ability, and sensation to ensure no further complications have occurred.
• 😀 The video tutorial aims to provide a clear demonstration of proper splinting technique to ensure patient safety and comfort.

Q & A

What is the purpose of applying a splint (balut bidai)?

The purpose of applying a splint is to support an area suspected to have a bone fracture and prevent further injury while moving the patient to the hospital.

What tools are necessary for applying a splint?

The necessary tools include a clean spark, mitella bandage, gauze, and an elastic bandage.

How should the medical staff check for proper circulation and sensation before applying the splint?

The medical staff should check the dorsalis pedis pulse, ask the patient to move their foot to assess motor function, and gently scratch the sole of the foot to check for sensation.

What should be done to ensure that the fractured leg stays in place during splinting?

One caregiver should hold the fractured leg to prevent it from moving or shifting, while the other caregiver applies the splint.

What is the importance of using a clean glove (hand skun bersih) during the procedure?

What technique is used to secure the splint to the fractured leg?

The splint is secured with three mitella bandages, and the last one is tied in a figure-eight knot for better stability.

What should be done after the splint is applied?

After applying the splint, the caregiver should recheck the dorsalis pedis pulse, ask the patient to move their foot to assess motor function, and check for sensation by gently scratching the sole of the foot.

What is the final step after completing the splinting procedure?

The final step is to ensure that the patient's circulation and motor functions are stable and that no complications are arising from the splint application.
