Purpose/Principle of First Aid
Introduction
You can save a life or alleviate suffering if you know what
to do and what not to do, and if you can act quickly and calmly.
If you are injured, you can save your own injuries or by directing
others toward proper care. Remember, where medical help is
not readily available, apply self-aid and then seek professional
help or care. The basic rules for first aid given in this handout
are to help yourself and your students/colleagues when it is
necessary.
Objectives
➢ To know the importance of giving First-aid.
➢ To have a knowledge on basic first-aid
treatment in case of injury or accidents.
➢ To learn the simple life saving techniques
that would greatly help in cases of
emergency.
➢ To react to a given emergency situations
correctly.
Basic First Aid
First Aid is an immediate care
given to a person who has been
injured. It includes self help and
home care if assistance is not
available or delayed.
Purposes
➢Preserve life / palliate pain
➢Prevent further injury
➢Promote recovery
Characteristics of a First Aider

Calm Alert Patience Empathy
Take Note
If you are the first on the scene of
accident that results in an injury
or serious illness, you may be the
only link between a victim and
emergency medical care. Your
role is to take action, whether by
providing first aid and seeking
medical help. Your actions may
improve the victim’s chance of
recovery.
Essential to protect
yourself from injury
and infection.
Why do we need to know
first aid in school?
Common Medical
Accidents in School
● Strains/Sprains
● Dislocations, Fractures
● Wounds (Cuts, Lacerations, Abrasions, Punctures)
● Nose bleeding
● Animal Bites
● Head Injury
♣I - ce, apply a cold pack. Do not apply ice directly to skin.
♣C - ompress, use an elastic or conforming wrap - not too tight.
♣E - levate, above heart level to control internal bleeding.
Strains/Sprains
♣R - est (to prevent further injury)
♣I - ce (reduce pain and swelling around the injury)
♣C - ompression (to immobilize affected part
♣E - levate (control internal bleeding / swelling
♣R - eferral (to diagnose the injury and
plan for treatment)
Dislocation/Fracture
♣C - lean (prevent infection)
♣A - pply antiseptic solutions
♣P - ressure (stop bleeding)
♣E - levate (control internal bleeding / swelling)
♣R - eferral (if wounds are deep/open and
with uncontrollable bleeding
Do not put alcohol
Wounds
Cuts, Abrasions,
Punctures, Lacerations
♣A - void blowing of nose,manipulating nose
