      Introduction

      What is First Aid?

      By principle, first aid is defined as giving assistance to anyone who suffers from a sudden illness or injury in an effort to save their life, prevent complications, and promote healing. Situations and conditions in which first aid is applied may vary and can range from minor to severe and life-threatening situations.

      First aid is the treatment given to an injured person even before medical professionals arrive or become available. This includes actions such as wrapping a cloth around a wound to stop bleeding and performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) while waiting for help to arrive.

      A common misconception about first aid is that only a medical professional can perform it. In reality, first aid is an essential skill that everyone should have. In fact, it has been emphasized and reiterated by healthcare professionals alike that knowing how to perform first aid can ultimately save a life.

      The Purpose of First Aid

      While first aid’s ultimate goal is to provide emergency care for sudden illness or injury, its purpose can be divided into three concepts, namely:

      1.to preserve life. As the encompassing goal of first aid, this includes the provision of life-saving measures such as providing CPR which is aimed towards preservation of someone’s life and diminishing the chance of death.

      2.to prevent more harm. This involves providing safety for people when administering first aid. Moving a patient away from a dangerous site to a safer location is a prime step in every first aid situation before applying first aid measures. This also involves actions that minimize the development of complications such as stopping a bleeding wound to prevent the onset of shock.

      3.to promote recovery. Considering the recovery phase early on when treating an
