What are the of first aid?
The principles of first aid are as follows:
1. Check the scene for safety: Make sure the area is safe for you and the victim before approaching. Ensure that there are no hazards, such as traffic, fire, or dangerous chemicals, that could put you or the victim at risk.
2. Check the victim for responsiveness: Gently shake the person and shout, "Are you okay?" If the victim does not respond, he or she may be unconscious.
3. Call for help: If the victim is unconscious or seriously injured, call for emergency medical help immediately.
4. Start CPR if necessary: If the victim is not breathing or has no pulse, start CPR immediately.
5. Control any bleeding: If the victim is bleeding, apply pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding.
6. Treat for shock: If the victim is in shock, elevate the victim's legs and loosen tight clothing.
7. Control any burns: If the victim is suffering from a burn, cool the burn with cool water and cover the burn with a sterile dressing.
8. Treat any fractures or sprains: If the victim has a fractured bone or a sprain, immobilize the injured area.
9. Keep the victim comfortable: Cover the victim with a blanket to help keep him or her warm, and provide reassurance and support until medical help arrives.
