FIRST AID BANDAGING TECHNIQUES
Summary
TLDRIn this educational video, school nurse JB instructs on the versatile uses of bandages in first aid, including stopping bleeding, covering wounds, and immobilizing injuries. The script covers various bandaging techniques such as head, arm sling, and ankle support, using a triangular bandage with the open face method. It emphasizes the importance of proper knot tying and ensuring bandages are not too tight for safety and comfort, highlighting the simplicity and life-saving potential of basic first aid knowledge.
Takeaways
- 🩹 Bandages are essential for three main purposes: applying pressure to bleeding wounds, covering wounds or burns, and providing support or immobilization for broken bones or sprains.
- 📏 The triangular bandage has distinct parts including the apex, ends or tails, and the base, each serving a specific function in different bandaging techniques.
- 🧶 The open face of the triangular bandage is used for injuries on the head, face, or chest, and requires careful folding and placement to ensure comfort and effectiveness.
- 🤚 The cravat phase of the bandage comes in broad and narrow variations, used for injuries on the limbs, and requires precise tying to secure the bandage properly.
- 🪢 The square knot is the preferred method for tying bandages as it is both easy to tie and untie, following the 'right over left, left over right' rule for secure fastening.
- 🧑⚕️ The head injury bandaging technique involves folding the base, placing it correctly, and ensuring the bandage is not too tight to avoid discomfort.
- 🦵 The arm sling technique uses the open face of the bandage, requires careful folding, and ensures the arm is immobilized without being too low.
- 🤳 A small 'nut' can be made with the apex of the bandage to hide excess material, providing a neat and secure finish to the bandaging.
- 🤕 The narrow profile technique is used for injuries on the arm, involving covering the injury and making a square knot to pull the weight of the elbow.
- 🤲 For hand or palm lacerations, the bandage is applied in a specific rolling pattern, ensuring not to include the other tail in the wrapping.
- 🦿 Bandaging for leg injuries involves ascending turns to cover the dressing and a final square knot to secure the bandage.
- 👣 Ankle sprains require a specific technique, including laying the curvature on top of the foot, crossing the ends, and sliding them over the sides for a secure tie.

hey guys
this is jb your school nurse and i am
here again to teach you about first
[Music]
advantage
so bandages have three key uses first is
to apply pressure into bleeding wounds
seconds to cover wounds or burns and
third to provide support or to
immobilize a broken bone
a sprain or a string parts of the
triangular bandage
first we have the apex then the ends or
tails
and lastly we have the base face s of a
triangular bandage
first is open face so the open face is
usually used
when there's an injury to the head face
or chest
second the cravat phase which can be
classified down to broad
and narrow cravat and is used when there
is an injury or wound
to the shoulder arms legs or foot
[Music]
in tying the bandages together we'll be
using the square knot which is easy to
use and is faster to remove
just follow the right over left and left
over right
[Music]
rule
[Music]
in this first bandaging technique
consider an injury at the top of the
head
first step is we're going to fold the
base into three
then place the folded part slightly
above the eyebrow with the apex pointing
at the back of the head
second step grab the ends and cross them
together
meeting at the forehead and perform the
square knot
make sure that the bandage is not too
tight it might squeeze the head
and lastly the hanging part of the apex
will be folded
and tucked at the folded part at the
[Music]
back
[Music]
in this second technique the arm sling
we're also going to use the open
face so first fold again the base into
three
and then place it on the affected side
with the apex facing the outer side
second grab the upper end of the bandage
and place it on the other side while
placing the lower end of the affected
side
third tie the two ends or tails
using a square knot making sure that the
arm is immobilized and is not too low
and lastly you can make a small nut with
the apex and hide the excess bandage
inside the sling
[Music]
this third technique also uses the open
face
in which we'll start by folding the base
of the bandage into two or three
seconds place the bandage on the
affected side
with the apex on top third then line the
two ends of the bandage at the back
leaving the tail
on the affected side longer so that we
can tie it to the apex later on
fourth after making the square nut make
another knot with the longer tail and
the apex
make sure that the side injured is fully
[Music]
covered
[Music]
with this first technique we are going
to use the narrow profile
first step is to cover the injury with
the tails of the cravat
rolling off towards the opposite side of
the elbow
then after cross the ends of the cravat
and make a square nut at the back of the
arm to pull the weight of the elbow
[Music]
this fifth technique is used if there
are lacerations in the hand or palm
so first the narrow cravat is placed in
the palm with both of ends
our tails hanging equally second
grab the right tail and apply the
bandage on the bump going back to its
original place
third grab the left tail and roll it up
passing the outer side of the thumb
near the wrist and roll it back again
passing the inner side of the thumb
and make sure not to include the other
tail
fourth grab the right tail and roll up
midway between the wrist
and the palm and make a square nut at
the back of the wrist
[Music]
this next technique is used if there's
an injury to the leg
so first place the center of the cravat
over the dressing
then grab the other tail and make
ascending turns covering two thirds of
the preceding turn until dressing is
covered
[Music]
and lastly end by tying the tails
together making a square knot
[Music]
this next technique is used if the
ankles are sprained
first step is to make the curvature laid
off on top of the foot
second is to cross the two ends
underneath the foot
and pull it making sure that the foot is
on darcy flex's position
third is to cross the two ends slightly
above the ankles
and cross them again in front fourth
then slide each tails over the sides
between the foot and the ankle
and tie
[Music]
so this technique is similar from the
one earlier
so we have the shoe on here put the
cravat under the foot and start from
there
pull the cravat and cross them together
slightly above the ankle
cross them again at the front then slide
each ends at each
sides and make a square knot
[Music]
so those are some of the major managing
techniques used in first aid
they are very easy to learn and you can
also save someone's life
by knowing the basics so that's all for
this episode
see you
