Crush injuries

So, what should you do if you find someone trapped? 

Firstly, ask how long have they been there? 

For crushing less than 15 minutes: The quicker you release them and treat them the better.  

  • Release the weight as quickly as you can. 
  • Dial 999 – tell them the person is trapped. 
  • Control any bleeding, major and minor.  
  • Treat for shock by laying them down, raise their feet in the air.
    For crushing more than 15 minutes: This is a rule heavily debated with the emergency medical field.
    Our advice is:  
  • DO NOT release the weight until you have: 
  • Dialled 999 - ASK 999 SHOULD YOU MOVE THIS PATIENT? 
  • Monitor patient and follow the advice of your 999 Emergency Medical Advisor.
