Exam details
First aid is the immediate and temporary care given to a person who is injured or suddenly ill to prevent their condition from worsening, promote recovery, or preserve life until professional medical help arrives.
First aid is crucial because it can save lives, reduce pain and suffering, prevent complications, and minimize long-term disability by providing timely intervention during emergencies.
DRABC stands for Danger (check scene safety), Response (assess consciousness), Airway (open and clear), Breathing (check rate and quality), and Circulation (check pulse and control bleeding).
Ensure the scene is safe for yourself, bystanders, and the casualty before approaching; remove any dangers if possible without risking your safety.
Gently squeeze their shoulders and ask loudly, 'Are you alright?' while observing for any response in movement, sound, or eye opening.
