Hello Chris,

The ProCPR.org training team have discussed the idea of adding optional splinting training to the program for some time now and just recently found a niche group of professionals who need to know how to splint due to special circumstances. We are now strongly considering adding splinting to the training. The National concensus for laypersons is to allow the injured victim to “Self Splint” or hold it in place, or for the rescuer to manually hold the broken limb in place until help arrives with minimization of movement. This is not an option for people who are anyplace where an ambulance cannot pull up and load the patient and so there is a need for this type of more “advanced” training. For now, minimize movement, let the patient hold there own broken limb so it doesn’t move(Self Splint) and call 911 anytime you suspect a serious broken bone. This is a 911 call due to the secondary damage a broken and unstable bone can cause. ie. nerve damage, lacerated blood vessels, fatty clots or blood clots caused from broken bones and infection when the bone is sticking out of the skin.

I hope this helped and thanks again for your comments. We hope the training helps.

Best Wishes,

Roy Shaw, Paramedic
ProCPR.org Director of Training

I would like to say that the videos are awsome, I do security and this training is a plus for me, I am glad you guys came out with this training. I have a quick question, is there going to be more videos on splinting in the future for 2010 also.

Yeah, my sister’s was actually much further along than they thought. The doctor that she had was a wonderful doctor though, and he managed to get everything out of her. She’s recovering well from the surgery and has a new lease on life! You’re not alone, Tara!

Mr. Patel,

It looks like you did the First Aid course back in October. The promotional rate, however, only applies to the ProCPR.org website for the month of December 2009. ProFirstAid.com is still regular price for the promotional period.

Whether this is a very curable cancer or not, its still cancer, I’m glad to know there are people out there who know the situation.
