First Aid Foundation

The concept of first aid to me is a universal practice that should be thought in school and learn by every parent or guardian, the practice  of first aid protect life and can easily prevent death. First aid is the immediate assistance given to any person suffering from either a minor or serious illness or injury, this aid in preserving life and also helping to prevent the worsening of the condition so that recovery can be quick and fast. This is down to ensure that before the professional health officers arrived with ambulance the person is stable to continue receive professional treatment from the clinic or hospital that he/she will be send to. Currently there are psychological first aid which is used in the treatment of  people who have the potential to develop into post traumatic stress disorder. There  are some key pillars that are used by any person practicing first aid or applying first aid to other, the key overall aim of the first aid is to preserve life, this is down to save life and also minimize the treat of death on the patients, and also aid in preventing further harm and ensuring recovering. Let as get something straight, first aid is not medical treatment so its always better to ensure that after the first aid application,  the affected person should be sent to a medical facility.

What l have observe in most first aid that l have personally down to people is that in most critical situations their breathing is not the best so in most cases of first aid its very important to check that the patient is breathing properly and the airways is also not being obstructed and the passage of air is allowed through the open mouth or uncongested nose, down through the pharynx and into the lungs.

Every house in this modern times must ensure that there is proper first aid kits with details tool or content that is fit for purpose in this time, every parent should know something about first aid in other to save the children and the families in case of medical crisis. Reputable organizations must ensure that they train some of their employees to know more about first aid so they can apply it when some body in the company is in crisis. We can all contribute in one way or another to save life if we just learn a little information about first aid.
