There is so much more important things for people to remember and practice such as cpr, medications etc that this stuff falls to the back burner and gets forgotten.

Then they sling the wrong arm….
Excellent video - My daughter has just cut her hand, and I looked up the elevated sling and this video really explains it very well.

Thank you for making a simple video to show what to do for someone until you can get them to the ER, The doctor or wherever so the patient does not do more damage by using the arm. It’s easy to learn in a classroom without someone playing injured. The best place to learn is in the field on patients who of course are not in a life threatening situation because it will also help you judge the level of pain and help with swelling. CPR should be required in every school and then updated. My mother would not be here today if I had not learned CPR. The Ambulance crew, the doctor and nurses in the ER and the surgeon all told me that if I had not started it while calling 911 and waiting for them to arrive, she would not have needed to ambulance at all! If you have people you love and want to keep around.... learn it! It’s the best thing you can ever do.
Helpful video - simple to use and understand.
My eyes: I know how to wrap already My hands: No, you don't
Excellent. My boyfriend overextended his arm when his ax head came off and his elbow is swollen and feels better bent. This was well done
Just watched another video of yours on a collar bone sling... I botched it but seems to be doing the trick, for now.
thankyou immeasureably. feeling much better
Very helpful and informative thank you
Good to learn about the two types of sling, when and how to use them 👍🏼
Many thanks It was very helpful
Thanks for this video
Needed this for my kid today. Thanks.
Excellent video, an elevated sling is the one I am unsure of and this explains it very well. One minor gripe, the presenter says to use a reef knot, and then proceeds to tie a much inferior granny knot.

is a granny knot a dead knot?? i dont know but the reef knot is similar (or the same idk) as a dead knot. its just how you untie it
Thanks this really helped me a lot!!!
Thank you
This was a very informational video thank you for making this
I'm studying for an international red cross competition and I always had a problem with slings so this helped me quite a lot
Thank you! it was very handy❤😊
good information
Been a medic 21 years worked with a emt that could put these on neat and perfect, I tried other night it was a mess but I got it on 😅
Very helpful video
goodto the day
Been an emt for 5 years and never used one. Thanks for the video as a quick refresher.

Thank you so much. I got my red cross training two years ago and now I have forgot most of those things as I had to focus on my school even more. Now I'm after exam person, I have to get my knowledge back. Thank you so much for this much simple video explaining this well!
What a great video. Here I am in other part of the world being saved by your video. May God bless everyone that got involved in the making and uploading of this video ❤
Cool that helps a lot actually. For a while I actually forgot how to apply a cloth sling. Thank you for the information.
It's very useful 😊😊
thanks gonna help me pass my NLS tmr
thanks, i forgor 💀 how to do this so i watched this vid in the back of the ambulance. my pt said “ouch” a lot but i think they meant thank you
There is a broken wrist sling too. Great video btw thank you.
Thanks I just did this on my child she stopped crying took her to ER they didn’t do anything but X-ray she still won’t move her arm. But now the splint stopped her from crying
thank you, helped my boyfriend put his sling back on ^u^
thanks, very helpful :)
Excellent 👌 video now I can go for my practical assessment today😂
The one crucial piece of info I needed was the orientation of the bandage as it is first applied and that is hard to see from this video. Which way up is the bandage for the elevation sling?

I do St John's Ambulance. Ongar Division
This works with a rectangular scarf as well I did the first one cause I bruised my elbow and it hurt
Useful video but need to be clearer in the demonstration of which way around you are holding the sling. Ie which way the triangle point is facing. Thanks though.
Which one for shoulder sprain?

Hi there. In some cases, a sling may not be required - they are only used temporarily for relief of pain/to rest the joint. We would suggest following the advice of any Health Professionals you have seen so far - otherwise which ever sling makes the joint more comfortable. With some shoulder injuries, some people find that a sling which enables the fingers of the injured side to touch the opposite shoulder, can allow the shoulder to fall into a more natural position and thus provide more comfort and support. Hope that helps!
I landed really hard on my wrist but it good i think

And you don't ask the casualty if the armsling is comfortable or need to be raised???

According to my ex-military Duke of Edinburgh instructor, the most important person in a first aid situation is always yourself, so I guess it doesn't matter too much to you.
I did the junior public course 4 years ago 🙂✌
doing this to myself was challenging lol
I remember in hospital the doctor couldn't work out how to put the arm sling on.
