First Aid Room Emergency Care Guidelines - NSOP Section 7 – FIRST AID OPERATIONS Version Number: 1.1 Effective Date: July 2022 Review Date: August 2024 Document Owner: National Lifesaving Manager 1.0 PURPOSE To give guidance to surf lifeguards on patrol when engaging in emergency care activities & using a club first aid room 2.0 SCOPE General use for all first aid facilities at surf lifesaving clubs 3.0 REQUIREMENTS Required PPE Awards/Licenses Face masks Medical gloves as per normal first aid protocols N/A First Aid Training: Training Other N/A • Patrol Support Award • Surf Lifeguard Award • Surf First Aid • Advanced First Aid Equipment N95 Facemask 4.0 INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 pandemic challenged the way Surf Life Saving Clubs and surf lifeguards organise and operate patrols, and how patients are rescued or given first aid or emergency care treatment. The risk of Covid-19 transmission & other infectious diseases on beaches and other open outdoor NSOP EMERGENCY CARE NSOP_FINAL2022 104
spaces is extremely low. Evidence has shown that during a time of Covid community spread, health care workers are more likely to be exposed to Covid via their household and social contacts than from their patients. This is even more likely to be the case with surf lifeguards. Lifeguard-to-patient transmission remains a concern for Covid-19 but also other infectious diseases, as surf lifeguards may well have no symptoms but still be infectious to colleagues and patients. 5.0 PROCEDURES Administering first aid to patients will mean that social distancing will not be able to be achieved. When surf lifeguards/patrol support members are administering first aid they must always be wearing medical gloves. When entering an indoor facility (club first aid room) a face mask must also be worn. Emergency care/first aid should all be managed outside or in a well-ventilated area. If possible, only one patrol member on the patrol should be administering first aid. 5.1 Minor First Aid - Follow Pre-First Aid Protocol (5.4) - If possible, give the patient/caregiver self-management with guidance from a distance. - Equipment cleaned after use. 5.2 Major First Aid - Follow Pre-First Aid Protocol (5.4). - Ambulance called ASAP. - Managed by Advanced First Aid qualified (refreshed) first aiders where possible. - Equipment cleaned after use. 5.3 Providing CPR - Follow Pre-First Aid Protocol (5.4). - Ambulance called ASAP. - Managed by Advanced First Aid qualified (refreshed) first aiders where possible. - Where possible, avoid mouth-to-face shield and mouth-to-pocket mask ventilation. Use a bag-valve-mask (BVM) device with a viral filter attached instead. - Avoid unnecessary proximity to the patient. Space and open ventilation decrease risk to the patient as well as the lifeguard. - Place face masks on yourself and the patient as soon as practicable. - Equipment cleaned after use. 5.4 Pre-First Aid Protocol Because Covid-19 & other infectious diseases can be spread from individuals without symptoms, it is safest to wear a mask and other recommended PPE. When possible, place a face mask (Surgical mask/disposable) on the patient or ask the patient to put on a facemask, avoid indoor spaces, and maintain distance. NSOP EMERGENCY CARE NSOP_FINAL2022 105
