BLEEDING
If possible, lower the head and raise the bleeding part. To stop the bleeding, press hard on wound with sterile compress or gauze pads after first removing any foreign objects in it. Send for a doctor if it is severe.

If the wound is large and gaping, gently press edges together and maintain pressure. Cover the wound with a sterile dressing and tape in place. If the child has lost a lot of blood, threat for shock.

BROKEN BONES
Get emergency help immediately for an open fracture or a broken neck or spine these are possible in any car accident or a fall from a height. Do not move the child yourself unless there is immediate danger – if the child is lying on the road, for example.

Perform a minimum of first-aid yourself. You can make a sling for a broken arm, but leave broken legs, ribs, hips and skulls alone till help comes. You can take a child with a broken arm, jaw, collarbone, wrist, ankle, finger or toe to the hospital yourself. Treat for shock if necessary. Do not give patient liquids or food in case anaesthesia is necessary later on.
