  2. 15/01/2025, 15:28 The Three Core Principles Of First Aid | by alishaalira | Jan, 2025 | Medium The Three Core Principles Of First Aid 1. Preserve Life The primary objective of first aid is to preserve life. This principle focuses on ensuring that the victim’s vital functions, such as breathing and circulation, are maintained until professional help is available. Here are the key steps: a. Assessing the Situation Quickly evaluate the environment to ensure it is safe for you and the injured person. Check for hasards such as fire, electrical risks, or unstable structures. b. Checking Responsiveness https://medium.com/@alishaalira24/the-three-core-principles-of-first-aid-e96f0700f0dd 2/9

  3. 15/01/2025, 15:28 The Three Core Principles Of First Aid | by alishaalira | Jan, 2025 | Medium Speak to the person and gently tap them to check for a response. If unresponsive, proceed to check their airway, breathing, and circulation (ABC). c. Administering Basic Life Support If the person is not breathing, initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Use an automated external defibrillator (AED) if available and trained to do so. For choking, perform the Heimlich maneuver or back blows, as appropriate. 2. Prevent Further Injury Once immediate life-threatening conditions are addressed, the next step is to prevent the situation from worsening. This involves both the victim and the environment. a. Securing the Scene Remove the victim from dangerous environments if safe to do so. Stabilise the area to prevent additional accidents. b. Providing Immediate Care Control bleeding with direct pressure and bandages. Immobilise fractures using splints or slings to prevent movement. Avoid unnecessary handling of the victim to reduce the risk of aggravating injuries. c. Monitoring and Reassurance https://medium.com/@alishaalira24/the-three-core-principles-of-first-aid-e96f0700f0dd 3/9

  4. 15/01/2025, 15:28 The Three Core Principles Of First Aid | by alishaalira | Jan, 2025 | Medium Continuously monitor vital signs such as breathing and pulse. Keep the person calm and reassured, reducing anxiety and preventing shock. 3. Promote Recovery The final principle focuses on facilitating the victim’s recovery process. Effective first aid can accelerate healing and improve outcomes. a. Treating Wounds and Injuries Clean wounds with sterile materials to reduce infection risk. Apply appropriate dressings and ensure the injured area is protected. b. Positioning the Victim For shock, lay the person flat with their legs elevated, unless contraindicated. In cases of difficulty breathing, position them in a semi-upright posture. c. Providing Comfort Offer emotional support to help the person feel secure. Communicate clearly about what is happening and what steps are being taken. d. Handover to Professionals Provide detailed information to emergency responders, including the victim’s condition and any first aid measures applied.
