⟩ Tell me as a Paramedic what should be your approach for treating broken bones?

☛ Safety first: Make sure that victim is in a safe location.

☛ Check for ABC: Airway, Breathing and Circulation

☛ Stop Bleeding

☛ Look for other injuries: Head, Neck or Back

☛ With sterile dressings cover broken skin if there is any

☛ Wait for an ambulance, while shifting make sure the joints remain immobilize

☛ To reduce swelling you can use ice-bag, put towel between ice and skin surface to avoid frostbite

☛ If leg is broken, keep it elevated above the level of the heart

☛ Lay the victim on his or her back to reduce the chance of shock
