First Aid Measures

First aid measures refer to the immediate care provided to someone who is injured or suddenly unwell, before professional medical help arrives. This can include assessing the situation for safety, checking responsiveness, and calling for help if needed. Basic actions may involve performing CPR if someone is unresponsive and not breathing, controlling bleeding by applying pressure, or treating burns with cool water. First aid aims to stabilize the person’s condition, prevent further harm, and promote recovery until trained medical personnel can take over. Being prepared and knowing these steps can make a significant difference in emergencies.
