Good first aid should be simple, standardised, use minimal or readily available equipment, and be able to be utilised effectively with no or minimal training by the rescuer. Over time the first aid methods used to manage snake bite in Australia have been questioned due to issues with efficacy, and some emerging evidence of harm from their use. There is little experimental data in the literature to support current first aid practices, and what exists suggests further research is required. This study aims to examine and compare the effectiveness of two first aid methods by tracking the movement of a mock venom through the body when each first aid method is used. This will provide important information about the suitability of current techniques used in Australia and whether a proposed simpler alternative technique is as effective. Currently, initial treatment of snake bite involves early first aid with the application of a pressure bandage and immobilisation (PBI) of the limb. There is limited data to support the basis of this technique and emerging evidence of harm when applied incorrectly. This project sets out to evaluate PBI compared to another technique involving the application of a pressure pad (PP) at the bite site (which is easier to do, and used in many countries outside of Australia). The project aims to determine whether each technique is effective, and whether the PP technique is at least as effective as PBI. To do this 24 participants will be recruited to undergo study with mock venom injected into their hand or foot and having either PBI or PP applied. The mock venom will then be traced with a gamma camera to determine rate of flow through the lymphatic system, which is how venom travels in the body. It is expected that the project will demonstrate the efficacy of both techniques, and that the PP will be at least as effective as PBI. This will provide a basis for change in the current first aid recommendations for snake bite first aid in Australia, and improve the care provided.",[27,28,29,30,31],"Snake Bites","Snakebite","Snake Envenomation","Snake Bite","First Aid",[28,33,34,35],"First aid","Pressure bandage immobilisation","Pressure pad","RECRUITING","2025-12-13",{"date":39,"type":40},"2025-12-16","ACTUAL",{"date":42,"type":40},"2025-07-18",{"date":44,"type":21},"2027-02",{"name":46,"class":47},"Townsville University Hospital","OTHER",1,{"id":50,"slug":51,"hasResults":11,"nctId":52,"briefTitle":53,"officialTitle":54,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":55,"healthyVolunteers":16,"sex":17,"minAge":18,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":56,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":58,"phases":4,"briefSummary":59,"conditions":60,"keywords":66,"overallStatus":74,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":75,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":76,"startDateStruct":78,"completionDateStruct":80,"leadSponsor":82,"locationsCount":5},"100579141","comparison-of-the-effectiveness-of-high-fidelity-simulation-and-low-fidelity-simulation-in-active-external-bleeding-control-management-of-caregivers-of-elderly-individuals-100579141","NCT06820437","Comparison of the Effectiveness of High Fidelity Simulation and Low Fidelity Simulation in Active External Bleeding Control Management of Caregivers of Elderly Individuals","Comparison of the Effectiveness of High-Fidelity Simulation and Low-Fidelity Simulation in the Management of Active External Bleeding Control by Caregivers of Elderly Individuals","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Not having received the theoretical first assessment and first aid training in external bleeding\n* No cognitive and communication problems that can actively participate in the study\n* Not being a health professional\n* Not being a paid caregiver\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* The participant declares that he\u002Fshe wants to leave at any stage of the study\n* Not participating in any of the simulation phases\n* Not participating in the implementation of the data collection tools to be applied",{"count":57,"type":21},30,"OBSERVATIONAL","The elderly population is increasing worldwide. Due to the increase in the elderly population, emergencies related to ageing are also encountered more frequently. One of these emergencies is trauma in the elderly. Traumas are frequently seen in elderly individuals due to physiological deficiencies related to aging as well as environmental factors. External bleeding caused by trauma is also encountered. If first aid to stop active external bleeding is not administered in a timely and correct manner, death due to bleeding can occur. Nowadays, elderly individuals live either with their families, alone, or in institutions. In the event of external bleeding, either the individual themselves, caregiving family members, or staff at the institution should be able to perform first aid to stop the bleeding.\n\nElderly individuals may not be able to perform first aid due to cognitive and neurological deficiencies. The ability of caregivers to provide first aid can be life-saving. If caregivers of elderly individuals are trained in first aid for external bleeding, they can quickly and correctly administer first aid to stop the bleeding. First aid training often consists of didactic education and demonstrations. A training strategy that ensures knowledge retention and skill acquisition is simulation training. This study aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of high-fidelity simulation and low-fidelity (Visually Enhanced Mental Simulation - VEMS) simulation in the skills of caregivers for elderly individuals in managing active external bleeding control.\n\nThe population of the study will consist of non-health professional caregivers of elderly individuals living in Antakya district of Hatay province. The sample size, calculated using the G Power program, has been determined to include 30 caregivers of elderly individuals. The study consists of four main work packages. In the first stage, the simulation environment will be prepared, and in the second stage, a preliminary application of the project will be conducted. In the third stage, the implementation of the research and the completion of checklists will be ensured. For this, volunteer caregivers of elderly individuals will be identified. After theoretical training is given to the participants, they will be assigned to intervention group 1 (VEMS) and intervention group 2 (high-fidelity simulation) using simple randomization. Following a pre-assessment with low-fidelity simulation, participants will undergo simulation training according to their intervention groups. Subsequently, a final assessment will be conducted using the same lowfidelity simulation. In the final stage, data analysis and interpretation of the findings will be carried out. The collected data will be analyzed statistically, and the significance level will be accepted as p\\\u003C0.05. With this study, insight will be provided into the effectiveness of VEMS and high-fidelity simulation in first aid training for active external bleeding for caregivers of elderly individuals. On the other hand, it is planned that the project results will be published in at least one article in journals indexed in the SSCI Expanded.",[61,62,31,63,64,65],"Simulation Training","High Fidelity Simulation Training","Informal Caregivers","Elderly","Bleeding",[67,68,69,70,71,72,73],"Elderly caregivers","external bleeding","elderly","first aid training","simulation","visually enhanced mental simulation","high fidelity simulation","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-02-05",{"date":77,"type":40},"2025-02-11",{"date":79,"type":21},"2025-02-20",{"date":81,"type":21},"2025-08-20",{"name":83,"class":47},"Mustafa Kemal University"]
