First Aid
First aid is the emergency treatment given to the ill or injured before professional medical services can be obtained. It is given to prevent death or further injury, to counteract shock, and to relieve pain. Certain conditions, such as severe bleeding, or asphyxiation, require immediate treatment if the patient is to survive. In such cases, even a few seconds’ delay might mean the difference between life and death. However, the treatment of most injuries or other medical emergencies may be safely postponed for a few minutes required to locate a crewmember skilled in first aid, or to locate suitable medical supplies and equipment.
All crewmembers should be prepared to administer first aid. They should have sufficient knowledge of first aid to be able to apply true emergency measures and decide when treatment can be safely delayed until more skilled personnel arrive. Those not properly trained must recognize their limitations. Procedures and techniques beyond the rescuer’s ability should not be attempted. More harm than good might result.
