Definition of First Aid
• Provision of immediate care to a
victim of injury or illness.

• Done by a lay person with a limited

skill range.

• Performed until injury is dealt with

(injuries, small cuts, bruises etc.) or
until next level of care arrives like a
doctor or paramedic.

10 Golden Rules of First Aid
1 Use a systematic approach in all medical emergencies.

2 Identify and avoid risks to yourself, the person affected and third parties.

3 Request support early (first aiders, AED, emergency number 144).

4 Be “suspicious” and primarily assume it is something serious.

5 Deal quickly with any chaos and cope with the situation.

6 Position the patient so that they feel comfortable (except in the event of a suspected spinal injury).

7 Only let one person talk to the patient.

8 Get professional support much quicker in case of emergencies with children.

9 Ensure there is leadership: one person must always take the lead.

10 Only transport patients by ambulance or taxi.
