First aid procedures

First aid involves quick, informed actions to help someone who is injured or unwell before professional medical help arrives. Key steps include ensuring safety for both helper and victim, assessing the person's condition, and providing appropriate care such as calling emergency services, stopping bleeding with pressure, performing CPR if they stop breathing or their heart stops, and placing them in a comfortable position. Keep the person calm, reassure them, and monitor their condition until professional help takes over. Proper first aid can prevent condition worsening and even save lives.
