TLE Aquaculture 7/8 Quarter 2 Module 9: Performing First Aid and Treatment on Board (PFTB)

Aquaculture Grade 7 and 8 Quarter 2 Module 9 on first aid: DRABCD action plan, CPR, recovery position, heart attack, poisoning, and insect bites.

This is the Aquaculture Exploratory Course Self-Learning Module for Grade 7 and Grade 8, Quarter 2, Module 9: Performing First Aid and Treatment on Board (PFTB). It is part of Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) and was developed by DepEd SOCCSKSARGEN Region under the Alternative Delivery Mode (First Edition, 2020). The module covers Lesson 5. It teaches learners how to give immediate, life-saving first aid before medical help arrives, and how to recognize signs of heart attack, poisoning, and insect bites.

On this page 7 sections

What learners will learn

The module’s learning outcome is LO 1: Perform immediate life-saving first aid pending medical assistance, recognize symptoms of acute injuries and take appropriate action (TLE_AFAFCAP9-12PFTB-llla-b-17).

After going through the module, learners are expected to:

  1. Correctly apply first aid care in a real or simulated situation.
  2. Correctly use the DRABC action plan to identify any sign of life.
  3. Place an unconscious casualty in the stable-side (recovery) position.
  4. Apply the methods of EAR, ECC, and CPR in a real or simulated situation.
  5. Identify possible causes of respiratory failure and breathing difficulty.
  6. Identify the symptoms and signs of angina pain or heart attack.
  7. Identify the symptoms or signs of poisoning, bites, or stings.
  8. Take appropriate action for a casualty with signs of poisoning, bites, or stings.

Basic first aid and the first aid kit

The module defines first aid as emergency care or treatment given to an ill or injured person before regular medical aid can be obtained. Because farm work can be hazardous and isolated, it says everyone working on a farm should be trained in basic first aid.

In a medical emergency, the first aider should:

  • check for any threatening situation and remove further danger
  • stay with the injured person and give appropriate first aid
  • ask someone to meet the ambulance and guide it to the casualty
  • try not to leave the injured person alone
  • not move the injured person unless they are exposed to further injury

First aid kits should be well stocked, easy to reach, and clearly signed, with a list of emergency numbers and basic first aid notes. The module lists items such as band aids, adhesive tape, bandages, an eye pad, tweezers, latex and disposable gloves, antiseptic wipes, wound dressings, plastic bags, safety pins, scissors, saline solution, an emergency thermal blanket, a first aid book and CPR card, and disposable resuscitation face shields.

The DRABCD action plan

The DRABCD action plan helps the first aider check whether a casualty has a life-threatening condition and needs immediate first aid.

StepWhat to do
D: DangerCheck for danger to yourself, to others, and to the casualty.
R: ResponseCheck if the casualty is conscious. If not, call for help.
A: AirwayOpen the mouth and look for foreign material such as blood, vomit, food, or broken teeth. Tilt the head back and lift the chin to open the airway.
B: BreathingLook, listen, and feel for breathing. If the casualty is not breathing normally, give 2 initial breaths.
C: CPRIf there are no signs of life, give 30 chest compressions (about 100 per minute) followed by 2 breaths.
D: DefibrillatorAttach an automated external defibrillator (AED) as soon as one is available and follow its prompts.

Levels of consciousness

  • Conscious: aware of surroundings and responds to touch and sound.
  • Semi-conscious: unstable; the person may have slurred speech, trouble walking, and may lapse into unconsciousness.
  • Unconscious: not aware of surroundings and does not react to touch or sound.

CPR and the AED

For CPR, open the airway, then give two rescue breaths of about one second each, using a CPR face mask when available, and watch the chest rise. Continue alternating 30 compressions with two breaths until the person breathes or medical help arrives. The AED analyzes the heart’s rhythm and, if needed, delivers a shock. Its common steps are: power on, attach the electrode pads, analyze the rhythm, then clear the victim and press the shock button.

Recovery position

The recovery position is for an unconscious casualty who is breathing. Kneel beside the casualty, place the far arm out at 90 degrees and the other arm across the chest, cross the near leg over the other, and turn the casualty onto their side while supporting the head and neck. Then clear the mouth with a gloved hand if needed and check breathing.

Heart attack, poisoning, and bites

Angina is chest pain or discomfort when the heart muscle does not get enough oxygen-rich blood. A heart attack happens when blood flow to the heart muscle is severely reduced or cut off. Signs include chest pain, discomfort or tingling in the arms, back, neck, shoulder, or jaw, sudden dizziness, a heartburn-like feeling, cold sweat, shortness of breath, nausea or vomiting, and unusual tiredness.

Signs of poisoning include burns or redness around the mouth and lips, breath that smells like chemicals, vomiting, difficulty breathing, drowsiness, and confusion. First aid depends on the type:

  • Swallowed: remove anything left in the mouth and follow the container’s label. Do not try to induce vomiting.
  • On the skin: remove contaminated clothing using gloves and rinse the skin for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In the eye: flush gently with cool or lukewarm water for 20 minutes or until help arrives.
  • Inhaled: move the person to fresh air.

If the person vomits, turn the head to the side. Start CPR if there are no signs of life, and send containers and labels with the ambulance team.

Insect bites may cause swelling, redness or rash, pain, itching, heat, and numbness or tingling. First aid: scrape out stingers with a clean fingernail or blunt knife, wash the site, apply ice or a cold compress, treat serious reactions like a snakebite, and monitor breathing. For animal bites, clean with soap or antiseptic, wash with water, cover with a sterile dressing, immobilize the injured limb, and take the casualty to a medical facility.

How to use this module

The module follows the standard SLM parts:

  1. What I Know: a 10-item true or false pretest.

What is It

[illustration: hand holding a magnifying glass in a circle]

Basic First Aid

First aid is an emergency care or treatment given to an ill or injured person before regular medical aid can be obtained. Due to the often hazardous nature of farming and isolation all people working on the farm should be trained in basic first aid.

In the event of a medical emergency:

  • check for any threatening situation and remove further danger


  • remain with the injured person and provide appropriate first aid


  • designate someone to meet the ambulance and direct it to the location of the casualty;


  • try not to leave the injured person alone; and


  • do not move the injured person unless they are exposed to further injury.


Employers should provide and maintain appropriately stocked first aid kits. Ensure that kits are easily accessible, that everyone on the farm is aware of the location of the kits, and that their location is clearly signed. A list of emergency services, telephone numbers and some basic first aid notes should be located with the kits. First aid kits should also be located in tractors, trucks and utilities.

The legislative requirements detailing what should be kept in each emergency kit depending on the location and number of people working on the farm:

  • band aids
  • adhesive tape
  • bandages
  • eye pad
  • tweezers
  • latex gloves
  • antiseptic wipes
  • non-adherent and wound dressings
  • plastic bags
  • safety pins
  • scissors
  • saline solutions
  • emergency thermal blanket
  • first aid book and CPR card
  • disposable resuscitation face shields
  • disposable gloves

DRABCD ACTION PLAN

The DRABCD Action Plan is a vital aid to the first aider in assessing whether the casualty has any life-threatening conditions and if any immediate first aid is necessary.

[chart: flowchart; Basic Life Support Flow Chart]

Basic Life Support Flow Chart

  • D — Check for Danger; Hazards / Risks / Safety?
  • R — Responsive? (Unconscious?); If not, Call for help, Call 000 / Resuscitation Team
  • A — Open Airway; Look for signs of life
  • B — Give 2 Initial Breaths if not breathing normally
  • C — Give 30 chest Compressions (almost 2 compressions / second) followed by 2 breaths
  • D — Attach AED as soon as available and follow its prompts
  • Continue CPR until qualified personnel arrive or signs of life return
  • NO SIGNS OF LIFE = Unconscious, Unresponsive, Not Breathing Normally, Not Moving
  • AED = Automated External Defibrillator
D check for DANGER
  • to you
  • to others
  • to casualty
R check for RESPONSE
  • is casualty conscious?
  • is casualty unconscious
  • After the accident scene is safe to approach, assess all casualties to determine if they are conscious or unconscious.
  • An unconscious casualty is not aware of their immediate surroundings and is not capable of protecting themselves from further danger.
  • When positioned on their back, an unconscious casualty is unable to maintain a clear and open airway: a potentially life-threatening situation.
  • Gently tilting their head back and lifting the chin allows the tongue to move out of the airway and enables the casualty to breathe. It is important to avoid any excessive force when moving the head backwards, especially when neck, back or spinal injury is suspected.

[illustration: blocked airway and open airway, showing the tongue position] An unconscious casualty is unable to maintain a clear and open airway Blocked Airway Open Airway

[illustration: head tilt and chin lift] Titling the head and lifting the chin open airway lift chin slightly to open airway.

Assessing level of consciousness

There are three (3) main states or levels of consciousness:

LevelDescription
ConsciousWhen somebody is fully conscious they are aware of all their surroundings and are alert and responsive to types of stimulation such as touch and sound
Semi-consciousThis is an unstable state of consciousness where the casualty might have slurred speech, be unable to walk properly and might lapse into unconsciousness at any stage

[transcriber’s note: the table has no printed header row; the header “Level | Description” is supplied for the table structure]

[transcriber’s note: table continued from the previous page]

LevelDescription
UnconsciousAn unconscious person is not aware of their surroundings and will not react to touch or sound. In effect, the unconscious person has no reaction to their environment at all. This is an unnatural state and is potentially dangerous to the person.
A check AIRWAY
  • is airway clear of objects?
  • is airway open?

To assess the airway:

  1. With the casualty on their back, open the mouth by gently pulling the chin down towards the chest.
  2. Inspect the mouth and nose for signs of any foreign material, for example, blood, vomit, food, broken teeth or other objects.
  3. Follow the steps in the flowchart.
B check for BREATHING
  • is chest rising and falling?
  • can you hear or feel air from mouth or nose?
  • if no breathing, give 2 initial breaths

To assess the casualty’s breathing status you should Look, Listen and Feel for signs of breathing:

  • Look and Feel for movement of the upper or lower chest, and
  • Listen and Feel for the escape of air from the nose and/or mouth.
ConditionAction
Unconscious and breathingRecovery position, check for and manage other injuries / illnesses. Closely monitor signs of life
Unconscious and no breathingGive 2 full breaths and assess for signs of life
C give CPR
  • if no signs of life—unconscious, not breathing and not moving, start CPR
  • CPR involves giving 30 compressions at a rate of approximately 100 compressions per minute followed by 2 breaths

Steps in CPR

  1. Open the Airway
    Put the palm of your hand on the person’s forehead and tilt their head back. Gently lift their chin forward with your other hand.

[illustration: head tilt and chin lift to open the airway] open airway lift chin slightly to open airway.

  1. Give rescue breaths
    Rescue breaths are appropriate for anyone age 1 and older. With the airway open, pinch the nostrils shut, and cover the person’s mouth with a CPR face mask to make a seal. For infants, cover both mouth and nose with the mask. If a mask isn’t available, cover the person’s mouth with yours. Give two rescue breaths, each lasting about 1 second.

Watch for their chest to rise with each breath. If it doesn’t, reposition the face mask and try again.

[illustration: rescue breaths, two methods separated by “OR”] rescue breaths watch for chest rising watch for chest rising OR cover nose and mouth with mask pinch nostrils shut 2 breaths each time, about 1 second apart

  1. Alternate rescue breathings with chest compressions. Continue alternating 30 compressions with two rescue breaths until the person begins to breathe or until medical help arrives. If the person begins to breathe, have him or her lie on their side quietly until medical assistance is on the scene.
D apply a DEFIBRILLATOR (if available)

Use to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. A device that can analyze the heart’s rhythm and if necessary, deliver an electrical shock or defibrillation to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.

Recovery position

The recovery position is used to clear an obstructed airway and to position the unconscious casualty who is breathing. Follow the instructions below to place a casualty into the recovery position.

Recovery position 1

  • Kneel beside the casualty
  • Place the casualty’s arm, that is furthest away from yourself, out at 90 degrees.
  • Place the casualty’s other arm across their chest with their hand wrapped under their neck.

[illustration: rescuer kneeling beside a casualty with arms placed for the recovery position]

Recovery position 2

  • Cross the casualty’s leg that is closest to you over the other leg.
  • Using one hand under the casualty’s neck in order to hold their hand which is under their neck, and with your other hand against the casualty’s hip / raised knee, turn the casualty away from you and onto their side.
  • Ensure that the head and neck are well supported during this move.

[illustration: casualty being turned onto their side into the recovery position]

Recovery position 3

  • Turn the casualty’s head slightly downwards and, using a gloved hand, place two fingers in the mouth and sweep the mouth clear of any foreign material, if required.
  • Once the airway is clear and open, assess for signs of breathing.

[photo: rescuer in gloves checking the mouth of a casualty lying on their side]

ANGINA AND HEART ATTACK

Angina is chest pain or discomfort caused when your heart muscle doesn’t get enough oxygen-rich blood. It may feel like pressure or squeezing in your chest. The discomfort also can occur in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. Angina pain may even feel like indigestion. It can feel like a heart attack, with pressure or squeezing in your chest.

A heart attack occurs when the blood flow that brings oxygen to the heart muscle is severely reduced or cut off completely.

Common heart attack signs and symptoms include:
