First Aid is the immediate care given to a person suffering from an injury or illness before professional medical help arrives. Whether it's a minor cut, a sudden collapse, or a serious accident, knowing how to respond quickly and correctly can save lives and reduce recovery time. First aid training empowers individuals to stay calm, act confidently, and prevent conditions from worsening in emergency situations. It is a vital skill not just for healthcare professionals, but for everyone—students, workers, parents, and community members. By understanding basic life-saving techniques, we build a safer, more responsive society prepared to face any medical emergency.
Ensure Scene Safety – Before approaching the victim, make sure the environment is safe for you and others.
Check for Responsiveness – Tap the person and shout to see if they are conscious.
Call for Help – Dial emergency services immediately (such as 112 or 108 in India).
Open Airway – Gently tilt the head back and lift the chin to keep the airway open.
Check Breathing – Look, listen, and feel for normal breathing for no more than 10 seconds.
Start CPR if Needed – If the person is not breathing, begin chest compressions and rescue breaths.
Control Bleeding – Apply direct pressure with a clean cloth to stop bleeding.
Treat for Shock – Keep the person warm, comfortable, and lying flat if possible.
Reassure the Victim – Keep them calm and informed while help is on the way.
Monitor the Condition – Continue to observe until professional help arrives.
