Knowing basic first aid techniques can make a significant difference in critical situations before professional medical help arrives. It is a vital and fundamental skill that serves as the initial response to injuries, illnesses, and emergencies where timely medical intervention is not readily available.
Administering proper first aid can help prevent the worsening of injuries or conditions. For instance, stop bleeding, immobilising fractures, or clearing airways can prevent complications.
In life-threatening situations, such as cardiac arrest, the timely application of first aid techniques such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can save lives.
The following are some common medical emergencies and what you can do to help while waiting for an ambulance to arrive.
Step 1: Remove any jewellery or other restrictive garments quickly and gently before the affected area swells up.
Step 2: Hold the affected area under cool, running water for 5 minutes.
Step 3: Alternatively, the wound can be covered with wet gauze or towels for at least 30 minutes.
Step 4: For minor burns and scalds, paracetamol or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be taken for pain relief.
Step 5: Go to the hospital’s Accident & Emergency.
Step 1: Call an ambulance immediately.
Step 2: Encourage the person to cough. However, if choking is severe, they may not be able to breathe, speak or cough.
Step 3: Perform chest blows by standing behind the person. Lean the person slightly forward and give 5 blows to the upper back with the heel of the hand.
Step 4: If the person is still choking, perform abdominal thrust (Heimlich manoeuvre). Wrap your arms around the waist, create a fist with one hand and position it just above the umbilicus (belly button). With your other hand, grip the fist and deliver and inward and upward thrust simultaneously.
Step 5: Continue step 3 and 4 until the choking is relieved or until ambulance arrives. If the person becomes unresponsive, start CPR.
Step 1: Call an ambulance immediately. The child may be unable to speak, breathe or cough with sound while clutching their neck or chest.
Step 2: Perform 5 back blows by hitting firmly on the child’s back between the shoulder blades while holding in a head-down position.
Step 3: If the child is still choking, perform 5 abdominal thrusts (Heimlich manoeuvre). Hold the child around the waist and administer an inward and upward thrust simultaneously, just above the umbilicus (belly button).

Step 3: If the infant is still choking, perform 5 chest thrusts. Turn the infant over so they are facing upwards. Position two fingers in the middle of their chest, just below the level of the nipples and push downwards firmly up to 5 times.
Step 4: Continue step 2 and 3 until blockage dislodges or ambulance arrives. If the infant becomes unresponsive, start CPR.
Step 1: Remove victim from the water without endangering yourself.
Step 2: Check the victim for a response. If the victim is unresponsive, shout for help and call an ambulance right away.
Step 3: Provide rescue breathing if victim is not breathing but pulse is felt. 1 breath every 6 seconds for 10 breaths per minute. Check for pulse every 2 minutes.
