First Aid

First aid is the first and immediate assistance given to someone who has been injured or suddenly taken ill.

Administering First Aid to Road Accident Victims:

  1. Assess the Scene:
    • Ensure your safety first. Check for any dangers like oncoming traffic or hazardous materials.
  2. Call for Help:
    • Dial emergency services or ask someone nearby to do so. Provide accurate information about the situation and the number of victims.
  3. Protect Yourself:
    • Use personal protective equipment if available.
  4. Check for Responsiveness:
    • Gently tap the victim and ask if they are okay.
  5. Perform CPR (if necessary):
    • If the victim is not breathing, start CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) immediately if you are trained to do so.

Evaluation:

  1. What does “first aid” mean?
  2. Can you name one situation where you might need to use first aid?
