First Aid
The Philippine Red Cross defined first aid as an immediate care given to
a person who has been injured or suddenly taken ill. It includes self-help
and home care if medical assistance is delayed or not available.
1. To promote recovery
3. To prolong life
The first main concern should be to preserve life. You may have to do
CPR, stop bleeding or make an other move to preserve the victim’s life.
Start with C-A-B—circulation, airway, and breathing. Asses the quality of
the victim’s circulation and adjust if necessary. Second, ensure that the
victim has no blocks to their airway and that they are breathing. The goal is
to save the victim from imminent danger.
First Aider
The first aider deals with the whole situation involving the patient and
the injury or illness. The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) conducts trainings
for people who like to become first aiders. If interested parties are
physically and mentally fit, they can go to their local PRC chapter and
register for free. The one-week or two (2) days training focuses on basic
first aid and provides the needed medical kit.
