Rules of First Aid

Rules of First Aid

A saying that probably summarises the attributes of a rescuer is "Make Haste Slowly."

  • Reach the accident spot quickly
  • Be calm, methodical and quick
  • Look for the following:
  • Is there failure of breathing?
  • Is there severe bleeding?
  • Is the patient in shock and if so, is it mild or severe?
