First Aid
In order to perform first aid always put safety first. Check the environment around or the scene
for safety and determine if the victim is conscious before calling in emergency help. If necessary
apply direct pressure to stop bleeding, protect airways and stabilize injuries by checking vital
signs at intervals. In case of cardiac arrest give CPR as appropriate, reassure the individual, stay
composed and focus on ensuring a safe situation until medical assistance comes. Through these
steps you can take charge of a situation and save a life just before professionals take over.
Therefore, it is important that one keeps their knowledge of first aid updated by attending
trainings to be ready for emergencies at all times.
First aid knowledge is important for providing immediate assistance in emergency situations
which can save lives and reduce injuries. It makes people to take proactive measures, having
preparedness and confidence in dealing with unexpected emergencies effectively. Basic first aid
skills, such as DRSABCD (Danger, Response, send for Help, Airway, Breathing, Circulation, and
Bleeding Control) so that people know to assess the situation to help the injured person control
bleeding, ensure open airways and perform CPR if necessary. It also prepares people to be
responsible first responders making a positive difference in important situations.
The ultimate goal in giving first aid is to save life, prevent the harm, and promote recovery. It
helps the life-threatening conditions, such as cardiac arrest, bleeding, and choking, and
minimizing minor injuries. By providing immediate care, they help the individual's condition,
minimize injury to happen and increase recovery chances. The ultimate goal is to ensure the
best condition for the person in need of assistance. By understanding and applying the basics of
first aid people can effectively respond to emergencies provide immediate care and increase
the chances of a positive outcome for the injured person.
A first aider roles in an emergency situation providing immediate care, and ensuring the safety
of everyone involved. They use the DRSABCD approach to assess the condition and provide
lifesaving interventions. They also serve as a communicator and caregiver, offering comfort and
reassurance to the injured person. Also they monitor the person's condition, offer emotional
support so the person would feel helpless. I believe that their responsibilities have good impact
to the outcome of the emergency situation and this can save lives of anyone.
