Attention
As with all of the articles in this series, this is by no means a comprehensive guide. It should be considered a practical approach.
Summary⚓︎
The following is from an article on WikiHow:
Basic first aid refers to the initial process of assessing and addressing the needs of someone who has been injured or is in physiological distress due to choking, a heart attack, allergic reactions, drugs, or other medical emergencies. Basic first aid allows you to quickly determine a person's physical condition and the correct course of treatment.
Knowing the basics for administering care during an emergency could potentially help an injured person before EMS arrive.
