First Aid Techniques During
Recreation

PRICED and HARM

Follow the PRICED procedures:
 Protection- Removed additional risk or
danger in the injured area
 Rest – Stop moving the injured area
 Ice – apply ice to the injured area for 20
minutes every two hours for two days.
 Compression – apply an elastic
compression bandage in the injured area.
 Elevation- raise the injured area above
heart level.
 Diagnosis – acute injuries should be
evaluated by health care professionals
In the first few days of an injury,
remember to avoid HARM:
 Heat- any kind of heat will speed up the
circulation, resulting in more swelling and
longer recovery.
 Alcohol- can increase swelling, resulting to
longer recovery
 Running or other excessive Exercise- can
cause further damage to the injured part.
Exercise also increases blood flow, resulting
to more swelling.
 Massage- massage increases swelling and
bleeding into the tissue prolonging recovery
time.
