Basic First Aid & CPR Essentials

First aid is the immediate care given to an injured or suddenly ill person before professional medical help arrives. Its importance lies in saving lives, preventing the condition from worsening, reducing pain and suffering, and promoting quick recovery by providing timely and appropriate care in emergency situations.

DRABC is a systematic approach used by first responders to assess and manage an emergency safely. It stands for Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing, and Circulation, guiding responders to ensure scene safety, check the victim’s condition, and provide immediate life-saving care in the correct order.

CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is an emergency life-saving technique used to maintain blood circulation and breathing when a person’s heart or breathing has stopped. It is required in situations such as cardiac arrest, severe breathing failure, unconsciousness with no normal breathing, or drowning, until professional medical help arrives.
