Don’t panic if your legs are broken, learn how to coordinate first aid with multiple people!

If you encounter an accident in life, such as a violent blow, a fall from a height, a car accident, etc., it may cause a fracture of both legs. At this time, the patient cannot handle it by himself, so he needs help from others. Today, I will share the first aid method for fractured legs, hoping to be of some help to everyone.

(1) Two people working together

One person holds the patient's pelvis; the other stands at the foot of the patient's injured limb, holding the heel with one hand and the instep with the other hand, slowly pulling the injured limb along the direction of the thigh with great force. If the injured leg needs to be lifted, in addition to one person pulling, the other person holds it under the thigh and calf, and then lifts it.

(2) Get a towel and place it on your back

The third person finds 4 to 7 triangular bandages, stacks them into wide strips (or uses wide cloth strips, towels, scarves, etc. as substitutes), puts one on the back, one on the thigh, one on the knee, and one on the calf, and presses them under the patient's body. Then take two long and narrow wooden boards, one of which is shorter (if there is no wooden board, a flat shoulder pole, long wooden stick, etc. can be used as a substitute), and wrap the two ends of each wooden board with cotton, towels or cloth. Then put the long one on the outside of the thigh, up to the armpit and down to the heel; the other shorter wooden board is placed on the inside of the thigh, up to the base of the thigh and down to the heel. Finally, tie the two ends of the cloth strip and fix the splint.

(3) Use cotton to avoid pain

After it is firmly fixed, you can find some cotton, clothes, etc. to stuff next to the knee to prevent the protruding bones from colliding with the wooden board and causing pain.

(4) Send to hospital

Three people cooperated with each other, one supported the head and back, one supported the waist and buttocks, and another supported the thighs and calves. The three of them worked together to lift the patient steadily, placed him flat on the stretcher, and then carried him to the hospital.
