Question
Write note.
Principles of first aid.
Solution
First aid is the emergency measure to be followed at the time of disaster before medical help arrives. The Basic Principles of First-Aid are:
- Airway: If a person faces difficulty in breathing, raise the chin or hold the head in a backwards sloping position, so as to keep the respiratory passage open.
- Breathing: If the person has stopped breathing, give artificial respiration mouth-to-mouth.
- Circulation: If the person is unconscious, first give mouth-to-mouth respiration. If the person doesn't revive, perform CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) by pressing the heart hard using both palms. Repeat these two steps alternately after every 15 minutes.
