First Aid Basics

First aid is the initial help given to someone who is injured or ill, with the aim of preventing the condition from getting worse and, if possible, promoting recovery. Here are some basic first aid tips:

CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation): If someone is unconscious and not breathing, perform CPR immediately.
Wound Care: Clean any wounds with soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover with a bandage.
Burn Treatment: Cool the burn with cool water for 10-15 minutes, then cover with a sterile bandage.
Fracture Management: If someone has a fracture, immobilize the injured area and seek medical attention.
