MFA (Medical Firs Aid)
The training program to be able to provide first aid in the standard already set imo, as well as the number of hours required for the training, but all involve rigorous, multi-point health check to make sure you qualify to be a helper.
Applications to be able to provide first aid should be done through your state department director general of sea transport and health departments.
What Are the Benefits of becoming an expert in first aid in an accident?
There are several good reasons why you should consider going through the intense training required to be able to help the victim while on duty.
First and foremost, you will be paid more. This simple reason alone is why many sailors through additional training.
Second, you will have more opportunities for career advancement. There are many types of jobs available in the ship (again, who pays more) which is only open to those who qualify to be able to help victims of workplace accidents.
Third, you will be more responsive. Hopefully, you do not need to ever use your skills on the job, but the reality is that you may be put in a dangerous situation. where your skills will be very useful for the safety of the lives of others.
things which covers all first aid training in the accident will be able to know when training MFA (Medical firs aid)
requirements in this training is
1. have a Basic Training Certificate Safety (Basic Safety Training Certificate);
2.Sertifikat health of a hospital or other medical institution which received recognition / determination / appointment of a doctor who has been appointed by the Directorate General of Sea; (In health condition was proven by a valid certificate from the Health of Seafarers-approved hospital or clinic);

if you want to do the job skills training to support, you can contact the relevant office in the country you live.
some things taught in this course include:
give artificial respiration (CPR)
- Check hazards and safety (Danger / safety)
Before doing help ensure that heart attack patients are in a safe and protected from harm.- Check response (Respone)
Find out if the person is conscious or not. You do this by patting the shoulders of people shouting in a loud voice. For example, \ "Sir, can you hear my voice? \". If there is no response from the patient, call an ambulance or medical personnel.
- Open the respiratory tract (airway)
While waiting for paramedics to come, people can open the nearest point of breathing by means of the left hand holding his forehead as he pulled back and pull your right hand under his chin. Put your ear to the patient as he saw, heard and felt a breath or not for 5 to 10 seconds.
- Give artificial breathing (Breaths)
If no breathing, give artificial breathing by covering your nose and breathe from mouth to mouth 2 times for 2 seconds. While doing this the eye noticed the chest, whether moving or not.
- Give pressure (Compression)
After giving two breaths, then put pressure on the chest. For the adults put both hands in the middle of the chest as he pressed with a straight arm position, but for children only using one hand only. Press-third of the chest 30 times.
- Repeatedly.
After doing 30 times the pressure, give artificial breathing again as much as 2 times the pressure as much as 30 times. Do this for 2 minutes.
- Check breathing again
If you've done 5 times set by the ratio of two breaths and 30 times the pressure of the chest (2:30) or for 2 minutes, then check whether the patient was breathing or not. If not then repeat until the 2:30 ratio of medical personnel arrived.
- If the patient was breathing
If after two minutes of the patient's breathing, then put in recovery position. Namely in the supine position to place the top left hand and right hand crosses to the ear, bend your right leg and then tilt the patient to the left to push the shoulders and legs simultaneously. However, if the patient is not breathing again, go back and give artificial breathing and pressure in the chest
The next is to help to fracture...
Cause
Basically it is a solid bone, but still has a bit of flexibility. When stretched beyond the limit of elasticity of the bone will be broken. Injury can occur as a result of:
Direct style. Direct bone receive great style so broken.
Indirect style. Style that occurs in one part of the body forwarded to other body parts are relatively weak, so that other parts iilah finally broken. The area that receives no direct impact injury means
Torsional force. In addition to the direct style, bone also can receive torsion or distorted until it broke. It often occurs in the arm.
The mechanism of injury should be considered in cases associated with fractures. It can give us a rough idea of how severe the injury that we face.
Symptoms and Signs Broken Bones
Given the magnitude of the force that is acceptable then sometimes fractures symptoms can be unclear. Some of the symptoms and signs that may be found in fractures:
There is a change in the shape of a broken limb. Seing is the only visible sign. The best way to determine this is by comparing it with the healthy side.
Pain in the area were broken and stiff when pressed or when you move it.
Swelling, accompanied by bruising / discoloration in the area of injury.
A voice crackled on the fracture area (this sound does not need to be proven by moving part of the injury).
Perhaps the visible part of a broken bone in the wound.
Distribution of Fracture
Based darurate fractures are divided into two, namely:
Open fractures
Closed fracture
What distinguishes it is the layer of skin on the upper part of the fracture. In open fractures, the skin on the surface area of the fracture injured. In severe cases the broken bone parts visible from the outside. The difference is if there is a wound, the germs will easily get to the bone, a bone infection that can occur. Open fractures including emergency immediately.
Splinting
Handling fractures foremost is to do splinting. Splinting are various actions and efforts to rest the broken parts.
Purpose splinting
Prevent movement / shifting of the tip of a broken bone.
Reducing the occurrence of new injuries around part of the broken bone.
Giving a break on a broken limb.
Reduce pain.
Accelerate healing
Several types of splints:
1. hard splint
Generally made of wood, aluminum, cardboard, plastic or any other material strong and light. Basically the most well splint and perfect in an emergency. The difficulty is getting the material qualified in the field. Example: wood splints, air splint, vacuum splint.
2. traction splint
Splint finished form and varies depending on the make, only used by specially trained personnel, are generally used in a broken femur. Example: femur traction splints.
3. improvised splint.
Splints are made with materials that are strong enough and lightweight for support. Manufacture highly dependent on the material available and the ability to improvise the helper. Example: magazines, newspapers, cardboard and others.
4. Carrier / splint and bandage.
Splinting using pads, commonly used mitela (fabric triangles) and take advantage of the patient's body as a means to stop the movement of the injured area. Example: arm sling.
General guidelines splinting
splint with or improvised splint so, you should always follow the general guidelines as follows:
- As far as possible inform the patient plan of action.
- Before membidai describe all parts of the injury and the patient bleeding if any.
- Always open or release of clothing in the joint area before membidai, open fractures or jewelry in the area in the distal part.
- Value motion-sensation-circulation (GSS) at the distal injury before splinting.
- Prepare tools more.
- Do not attempt to change the position of the injured part. Strive membidai in a position when it is found.
- Do not attempt to insert part of a broken bone.
- Splint should include two joints of a broken bone. Before mounted measured first in the limbs healthy patients.
- When an injury occurs in the joints, the second splint bone flanking the joints. Strive also membidai distal joints.
- Cover splint with soft material, if possible.
- Fill in the blanks between the body of the splint with a coating material.
- Ties do not be too hard and do not loose.
- Ties should be sufficient in number, starting from the joints move more, then the top joint of a broken bone.
- Done splinting, GSS examination back, compared with the first examination of the GSS.
- Do membidai excessive.
Relief injury locomotor
- Perform initial assessment. Recognize and treat life-threatening conditions. Do not be lured by the injury that looks heavy.
- Perform a physical examination.
- Stabilize the broken parts manually, grasp the side of the upper and lower injury. Not to increase the pain sufferer.
- Describe all parts of the alleged injury.
- Overcome bleeding and wound care if any.
- Prepare all equipment and materials for membidai.
- Do splinting.
- Reduce pain by means of resting the injured part, ice compress on the injured part (especially in closed fractures) and lay the patient in a comfortable position.
That's some training lessons in MFA.akan clearer if you follow the practice immediately.
