Basic first aid Techniques
In a medical emergency, always call for assistance
first. The following are basic steps to take to help
an injury victim before medical help arrives.
Assess the victim's condition. Give him or her
plenty of space. Prevent shock by elevating the
legs and covering the victim.
Apply pressure to lacerations or other open
wounds to stop bleeding. If bleeding has stopped,
wounds should be cleaned and wrapped in a
bandage. Cool minor burns with running water.
If the victim's pulse or breathing has stopped,
CPR or rescue breathing can be performed. Be
sure to clear the victim's airway before rescue
breathing is carried out.
