If any of us knows about first aid, then we can avoid any major accident. Medical aid should continue until we reach the hospital or a doctor. | First Aid and It's Importance | |--| Whenever an accident occurs or an illness strikes, most of us do not know what first aid is or what to do. We waste time in vain, due to which the patient goes into a life-threatening situation. If we know about first aid, we must use it because it makes the difference between life and death clear and the patient's life can be saved. | Principles of First Aid | |--| Some basic and important principles for first aid must be kept in mind. Efforts should be made to save the patient's life. It is important to prevent further damage. The patient should be helped in recovery so that he can recover quickly. If these principles are adopted, success is possible. | Behaviour at the Place of an Accident | |--| When you arrive at the place of an accident, the first thing you need to do is remain calm so that you can assess the place of the accident properly. To protect yourself, look at your surroundings because this accident can happen in the form of an electrical shock or a fire. So, first of all, protect yourself, reach the patient, and try to move the patient to a safe place. | Some Types of Accidents | |--| - The biggest problem that presents itself from the hand is bleeding. If the blood is flowing rapidly, it can be dangerous for the patient. Therefore, first of all, you should bandage the injured area so that the bleeding stops or slows down. Keep this bandage on until you take him to the hospital. - In the summer season, when the heat is very high, heat stroke can occur. In this case, move the patient to a cool and shady place, give him cold water, and loosen his clothes. In addition, apply cold water bandages on the body so that heat stroke can be prevented. - In the case of a heart attack, the patient shows symptoms of chest pain, sweating, and difficulty breathing. In this case, the patient should be laid straight and given the doctor's prescribed medications, such as desipramine, etc., and call an ambulance in time so that the patient can be taken to the hospital as soon as possible. - If in the event of an accident, the patient's bone is broken, he should be moved without delay. It is better to keep the burn straight and tie it with any wood, etc., and after that, the patient can be taken to the doctor for bone and joint treatment. - If any part of the body gets burned, soak it immediately in cold water or keep the affected part immersed in running water, and if you have quench cream, then it gives immediate relief from the burn, and the patient starts feeling comfortable. | Mental Preparation and Basic Training | |--| Accidents and illnesses are a part of our lives, so everyone should know the basics of first aid. Some organizations keep running awareness campaigns on first aid, so we have to join them and learn all this so that we can benefit from it in practical life. Another thing is also important, we need to have a first aid kit, which contains basic things. | Conclusion | |--| Learning first aid is the duty of all of us. It is not only beneficial for us but also proves beneficial for others because any emergency can happen anytime in which anyone needs first aid. They can be our relatives, friends, or even a stranger. If an accident happens to someone, we can immediately provide them with medical assistance. We should run an awareness campaign and emphasize that everyone should know about first aid. | πΈππ π¦π₯ ππ | |--|
