Even the smallest actions can mean the difference between life and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Because first aid training is so useful in\nemergencies, we encourage everyone to get educated sooner rather than later. In\nthis guide, we\u2019re going to cover the basic steps of first aid and how you can\nsave someone\u2019s life! When someone needs you, you\u2019ll worry less and act\nconfidently within that vital window of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 5 Steps of Basic First Aid\nTreatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to treating an injured or ill\nperson in an emergency, following the steps of first aid treatment is key. It\u2019s\nimportant to remember the proper procedure to make sure you\u2019re doing everything\ncorrectly. Here for five steps to follow to make sure you get it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Check the scene and form an impression<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people are tempted to jump into action as\nsoon as they see someone with an injury. While you have the right spirit, it\u2019s\nimportant to be cautious when attempting to assist anyone. To safely assess the\nsituation, answer the following questions.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the scene safe? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you run to help someone without assessing the\nscene, you could get yourself hurt, making the situation more chaotic and\nconfusing. Pause and observe your surroundings. It may be too unsafe to assist\na person if: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>There are downed power lines in\nthe area. If you get near these power lines, you could be electrocuted. This\nhelps no one &#8211; it\u2019s only a detriment to the situation so stay back if you see\nany power lines on the ground. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Traffic is too heavy. If you are\nattempting to assist a person by the roadside, pay close attention to the flow\nof traffic. If the road is too busy to cross or if the person is in a place\nwhere it would be dangerous for you to stop, there isn\u2019t much you can safely do\nfor them. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You are alone and the seemingly injured person is far away from the public eye. Unfortunately, some people enjoy taking advantage of the kindness of others. Criminals fake injuries to lure in an empathetic person. Once they are alone, the criminal assaults or robs the good samaritan. If there\u2019s no one available to help you and the person is suspiciously out of the way, it may be safer to call 911 and wait. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the person seriously injured? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Observe the injured person. Does the scene look\nserious? Is the person bleeding? Do they look like they need assistance? These\nare all questions that you should ask yourself to help you decide how to go\nabout aiding them and to weed out the aforementioned criminals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happened? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can piece together what happened, you gain\na better understanding of how you should go about assisting. In some cases,\nputting together the events helps you know whether or not you should stick\naround. For instance, if a person is injured because of an active shooter, it\nis best to find cover for yourself and remove yourself from the danger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many people are involved? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you get a count of how many people are\ninvolved in an accident, you can come up with a plan and assist them\naccordingly if possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is anyone else available to help? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is another person already on the scene\nwho can assist an injured person, then you may not be needed. If there is no\none, though, it may be up to you to save this person\u2019s life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Assisting if a person is responsive and there is no life-threatening bleeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a scenario where the injured person is\nresponsive and does not seem to be gravely injured, there is a specific\nprotocol that you should follow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Obtain consent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You must obtain consent to treat a conscious\nperson. State your name, your level of training, what you think is wrong, and\nhow you plan to treat them. Afterward, ask for permission to give them\nappropriate medical care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get the AED and first aid kit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is another bystander around, ask them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.procpr.org\/training_video\/adult-aed\">get the AED<\/a> and a first aid kit if available so you can properly treat the injured person\u2019s wounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Put on gloves<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your safety comes first; put on gloves if they\nare available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interview the injured person<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask the person you are assisting about their\nmedical history and if they have any allergies or are on any medications. Find\nout what symptoms they are experiencing and what happened to cause the\naccident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examine them completely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you should examine the injured person from\nhead to toe. Focus on these parts: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Head<\/li><li>Neck<\/li><li>Shoulders<\/li><li>Chest<\/li><li>Abdomen<\/li><li>Hips<\/li><li>Legs<\/li><li>Feet<\/li><li>Arms<\/li><li>Hands<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on what you find, you can execute a plan of\naction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Provide appropriate care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about what the person told you and provide the appropriate medical care according to your skill level and experience. If they need help that is beyond your skill set, you are better off not doing any guesswork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Assisting if a person is unresponsive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the person appears unresponsive, follow these\nsteps: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Shout to get their attention,\nusing their name if possible.<\/li><li>Tap the person\u2019s shoulder or the\nbottom of their foot if they did not respond to your initial calls for\nattention and try again.<\/li><li>Check for any signs of\nresponsiveness. <\/li><li>Check for signs of breathing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. If the unresponsive person is\nbreathing\u2026 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the unresponsive injured person is breathing\nnormally, here\u2019s how to proceed: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Send someone to call 911 or\nanother emergency number. <\/li><li>Obtain an AED and a first aid kit\nif available. <\/li><li>Ask bystanders the same questions\nthat you would have asked the responsive injured person in step two as it\npertains to the unresponsive person. <\/li><li>Do the head-to-toe examination and\nsearch for any injuries. <\/li><li>Roll the person into the recovery\nposition if there is no life-threatening injury present. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. If the unresponsive person is not\nbreathing\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the unresponsive person that you are treating\nisn\u2019t breathing, you need to act quickly. Follow these steps: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Send someone to call 911 or the\nother designated emergency number.<\/li><li>Obtain an AED and first aid kit if\navailable. <\/li><li>Lay the person face up on flat\nground. <\/li><li>Begin CPR or use the AED if one is\navailable and you know how to use it properly. <\/li><li>Continue until the person is\nresuscitated or until emergency personnel arrive. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A note: end CPR if it becomes unsafe for you to\ncontinue or if you are exhausted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to get CPR\/first aid training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you read through these steps and were confused about some of the terminologies, don\u2019t worry.&nbsp; If you do not know what an AED is or you don\u2019t know how to perform CPR, you should definitely consider getting CPR and first aid training.
