First aid is immediate assistance given to someone who is injured or suddenly ill. It aims to preserve life, prevent further harm, and promote recovery until full medical treatment is available. Certain skills are essential for first aid, including maintaining an open airway and breathing, stopping bleeding, treating burns, and caring for fractures. While basic first aid principles can be acquired through life experiences, effective life-saving interventions require training. Specific types of first aid training exist for situations like aquatic environments, wilderness areas, or mental health crises.

First aid is as easy as ABC – airway, breathing and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). In any situation, apply the DRSABCD Action Plan. DRSABCD stands for: Danger – always check the danger to you, any bystanders and then the injured or ill person.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

2. First aid is the assistance given to any person
suffering a sudden illness or injury, with care
provided to preserve life, prevent the condition
from worsening, or to promote recovery. It
includes initial intervention in a serious
condition prior to professional medical help
being available, such as performing CPR while
awaiting an ambulance, as well as the complete
treatment of minor conditions, such as applying
a plaster to a cut.
WHAT IS FIRST AID?
3. First aid is generally performed by the
layperson, with many people trained in
providing basic levels of first aid, and
others willing to do so from acquired
knowledge. Mental health first aid is an
extension of the concept of first aid to
cover mental health.
4. Aims
Preserve life: The overriding aim of all
medical care which includes first aid, is
to save lives and minimize the threat of
death.
5. Prevent further harm: Prevent further harm also
sometimes called prevent the condition from
worsening, or danger of further injury, this
covers both external factors, such as moving a
patient away from any cause of harm, and
applying first aid techniques to prevent
worsening of the condition, such as applying
pressure to stop a bleed becoming dangerous
6. Promote recovery: First aid also
involves trying to start the recovery
process from the illness or injury, and in
some cases might involve completing a
treatment, such as in the case of applying
a plaster to a small wound.
7. Keyskills
Certain skills are considered essential to the
provision of first aid and are taught
ubiquitously. Particularly the "ABC"s of first
aid, which focus on critical life-saving
intervention, must be rendered before treatment
of less serious injuries. ABC stands for
Airway,
Breathing
Circulation
8. Some organizations teach the
same order of priority using
the "3Bs":
“4Bs”
Breathing
Bleeding
Burns
Bones.
9. Preserving life
In order to stay alive, all persons need to have
an open airway—a clear passage where air can
move in through the mouth or nose through the
pharynx and down into the lungs, without
obstruction. Conscious people will maintain
their own airway automatically, but those who
are unconscious may be unable to maintain a
patent airway, as the part of the brain which
automatically controls breathing in normal
situations may not be functioning.
10. Training
Basic principles, such as knowing to use an
adhesive bandage or applying direct pressure on
a bleed, are often acquired passively through
life experiences. However, to provide effective,
life-saving first aid interventions requires
instruction and practical training. This is
especially true where it relates to potentially
fatal illnesses and injuries, such as those that
require cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR);
these procedures may be invasive, and carry a
risk of further injury to the patient and the
provider
11. Specific disciplines
There are several types of first aid (and
first aider) which require specific
additional training. These are usually
undertaken to fulfill the demands of the
work or activity undertaken.

Types Of First Aid
13. Aquatic/Marine
Aquatic/Marine first aid is usually
practiced by professionals such as
lifeguards, professional mariners or in
diver rescue, and covers the specific
problems which may be faced after
water-based rescue or delayed Med Evac.
Battlefield first aid takes into account the
specific needs of treating wounded
combatants and non-combatants during
armed conflict.
14. Hyperbaric
Hyperbaric first aid may be practiced by
SCUBA diving professionals, who need to treat
conditions such as the bends.
Oxygen first aid is the providing of oxygen to
casualties who suffer from conditions resulting
in hypoxia.
15. Wilderness
Wilderness first aid is the provision of
first aid under conditions where the
arrival of emergency responders or the
evacuation of an injured person may be
delayed due to constraints of terrain,
weather, and available persons or
equipment. It may be necessary to care
for an injured person for several hours
or days.
16. Mental health
Mental health first aid is taught
independently of physical first aid.
How to support someone
experiencing a mental health
problem or in a crisis situation. Also
how to identify the first signs of
someone developing mental ill
health and guide people towards
appropriate help.
17. First aid services
Some people undertake specific training in order to
provide first aid at public or private events, during
filming, or other places where people gather. They
may be designated as a first aider, or use some
other title. This role may be undertaken on a
voluntary basis, with organizations such as the Red
Cross and St John Ambulance, or as paid
employment with a medical contractor.
