For Success at Effective and Safe 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. Search and request for prompt support (First Aiders, AED, Emergency Number 911).

4. Be “suspicious” and essentially presume it is something ultimately serious.

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

6. Make a proper position for the patient so that they feel comfortable and relaxed (except in the event of a possible and suspected spinal injury).

7. Only let one person talk to the patient.

8. Get medical first aid trained/medical professional assistance much quicker in case of emergencies with children.

9. Make sure there is leadership available; one person must always take the lead.

10. Only shift or transport patients by ambulance or taxi as soon as possible.
