Basic First Aid Procedure

In administering first aid, the following procedure must be followed. Suppose
you see an injured person lying on the floor. Remember the
A-I-D F-I-R-S-T.
Step 1 – Ask for Help.
Immediately call the attention of other people to the scene. Ask if there is anyone in the area who knows how to perform first aid. If there is
one, let him or her take over. While the first aider rescues, call professional help. Dial 911 and report. If
there is no one around, follow the next steps.
Step 2 and 3 – Inspect the scene. Determine the possible threats and hazards. The scene where the injury occurred may not be safe to
undertake first aid. If there are threats and hazards that may harm you or the victim, move to a safer place
only if it will not cause further injury.
Step 4 – Face the victim and introduce yourself. If the scene is clear and safe, approach the victim. Introduce yourself to the
victim. Even if the victim is unconscious, state your name and tell the victim that you will perform first aid procedures to help him or her.
Step 5 – Intervene and conduct assessment. If the victim is conscious, ask him or her about the situation. Locate and assess
the injury. Take note of the details that the victim will tell you. If you know the first aid procedures for the specific injury, perform them. If
you do not know the proper emergency care, do not intervene stay with the victim until professional medical care
arrives.
If the victim is unconscious, perform the following steps.
1. Tap the shoulders gently and check if conscious may return.
2. If the victim does not respond, perform primary assessment. Check for CAB:
• Circulation – Feel if the pulse is present. Check by touching areas where large veins are present: neck or wrist.
• Airway – Check if there is any blockage in airways passages (mouth and nose). Remove any material that blocks the airway.
• Breathing – Check if the victim is breathing by observing the up and down movement of the chest. You may also put your palm above
the nose and mouth to feel if the victim is inhaling and exhaling.
3. If circulation is absent, perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). If the victim is not breathing, perform rescue breathing.
4. If circulation and breathing are present, conduct secondary assessment. Secondary assessment is composed of three major
components:
4.1. History
The first aider must ask about the victim’s medical information by thinking of the acronym SAMPLE:
S – signs and symptoms felt by the victim
A – allergies that the victim has
M – medication that the victim is currently taking
P – previous medical conditions that the victim had
L – last oral intake of the victim
E – events that led to the emergency situation
4.2. Vital Signs
The first aider must check for the following
a. Abnormal pulse rate or breathing
b. Dilation of pupils
c. Change in skin color or body temperature
d. Changing level if consciousness (being half-awake)
4.3. Head-to-toe examinations
The first aider must think of the acronym DOTS to inspect the whole
body of the victim for:
D – deformity of fractures
O – open wounds
T – tender parts
S – swollen parts
Step 6 – Remember and record the procedures done.
Step 7 and 8 – Stay with the victim until professional care arrives. Tell the medical
professionals about the situation and the first aid procedures performed.
Wounds
A wound is a break in the continuity of a tissue in the body. It may be closed in which there is no break or damage in the skin. It is also
called hematoma or contusions. A wound may also be an open wound in which there is a break in the skin.
How to Manage Wounds:
A. For management of hematoma, we use the mnemonic RICE:
1. Resting the injured part
2. Ice application
3. Compression
4. Elevation
B. First Aid for Open Wounds with Severe Bleeding
1. Wear gloves and remove or cut clothing as necessary to expose wound.
2. Control bleeding by applying direct pressure.
3. Elevate the injured part above the heart except for eye injury and woundswith embedded object
4. Cover wound with sterile dressing and bandage.
5. Care for shock.
