First Aid

Learn the Basics

First aid is the initial emergency care and assistance given to any person suffering a sudden illness, injury or life-threatening medical situation, with care provided to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, or to promote recovery. It includes initial intervention in a serious condition prior to professional medical help being available, such as performing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) while awaiting an ambulance, as well as the complete treatment of minor conditions.

First aid is usually performed by a bystander, a person who is not qualified in a medical profession and/or does not have specific medical knowledge.

Early effective first aid is vital to keep the victim alive until help arrives and many people are trained in providing basic levels of first aid. There are also others who are willing to do so from acquired knowledge.

Keep in mind that sometimes seconds count in an emergency. When a victim suffers a life-threatening medical situation, first aid is an important first step of emergency care and sometimes life-saving help to an injured or unwell victim before the arrival of professional medical assistance.
