Whenever we see someone injured and in need of immediate medical help and attention, our first response is to offer adequate help. This is what we call FIRST AID.
First Aid is what we term as immediate medical assistance offered to any ill or injured person, irrespective of the severity of the illness, to save a person’s life till medical help or ambulance arrives. This is critical to prevent the situation from getting worse and to assist the injured person in recovering quickly.
First Aid is a broad category that includes a range of activities and interventions ranging from simple dressing to treatment of minor conditions and even Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). First aid doesn’t always require an expert or trained person or specific equipment and materials. It can even be performed by someone aware of the surroundings without any specific equipment while improvising on the existing resources available.
