Brown Paper Tickets event: brownpapertickets/event/877794. This is a 1 day program designed to help you Learn what to do in the first 5-30 minutes after a crash. Helmet removal, Jaw thrust, and moving the injured are all addressed and practiced. The purpose of the ASM Programs: are to enhance the survival rate and reduce severity of injuries for the injured riders of all motorized vehicles. We expect to decrease the chance of rescuer injury due to inappropriate actions at the accident scene. We also expect to educate motorists how to protect themselves legally and financially should an accident occur. Every club should have two members with this training. Goals and Objectives The program is directed toward specific issues related to traffic safety and motorcycle related crashes including the assessment and treatment of the injured as well as how to safely administer care. We use simple acronyms such as “PACT” and “ABCSS of Trauma” to help the responder recall the safety priorities in the event of an accident. P – Prevent Further Injury (Scene Safety) A – Assess the Situation (to gather information for 911 call) C – Contact the EMS (do not delay – do this while doing step one and two, if you have a cell phone signal and do not have to leave the scene to call for help) T – Treat the injured with Life Sustaining Care (using the ABCSS of Trauma to prioritize) A – Airway (determine if the person is breathing. Lift jaw keeping neck straight if you do not believe the person is breathing). B – Breathing (if the person is not breathing on their own keep the jaw lifted and using a breathing barrier, give two breaths initially then one every 6-8 seconds). C – Circulation (in trauma a loss of circulation comes from bleeding. Look for and treat obvious external bleeding using Direct Pressure, Elevation and a Pressure Point or Tourniquet “limbs only”) if necessary. S – Shock (consider internal bleeding – elevate legs, cover the person for warmth and stay calm. Do not give them anything to drink even if they ask). S – Spinal Immobilization (hold the person’s neck still until the Emergency workers arrive and take over for you) (from the Accident Scene Management WebSite)
