First Aid Training Tips & Procedures for Any Emergency
                     First Aid Training Tips & Procedures 
for Any Emergency
 Injuries are practically 
inevitable in emergency 
situations. There’s a chance 
you get hurt by whatever’s 
causing the emergency; for 
instance, you could get burned 
in a fire, or you could get 
struck by toppling debris 
during an earthquake. But 
injuries are also sustained 
during the panic that ensues in 
an emergency. 
  
First Aid Training Tips
 Always attempt to seek 
professional medical help for 
injured persons. First 
responders are not always 
readily available during 
emergency situations, and if 
that’s the case, do your best to 
provide what treatment you 
can until help arrives. Read 
through these detailed guides
  
1. The “Three P’s”
 The “Three P’s” are the 
primary goals of first aid. They 
are:
 Preserve life
 Prevent further injury
 Promote recovery
These goals might seem overly 
simple, but they’re simple on 
purpose.
  
2. Check the Scene for Danger
 Before you provide help to an 
injured person, it’s important 
that you check the scene for 
danger. You don’t want to get 
yourself injured, too. This isn’t 
a cowardly precaution. The 
fact of the matter is this: if you 
get injured, you won’t be able 
to help someone else who’s 
injured. So before you rush to 
help someone, take a moment 
to analyze the area and spot 
anything that could injure you.
  
3. Treating Sprains
 Sprains are usually an 
unalarming injury, and most of 
the time they’ll heal on their 
own. But there are steps you 
can take to ease the swelling. 
Swelling is caused by blood 
flow to an injured area. You 
can reduce swelling by 
applying ice. Ice restricts the 
blood vessels, which reduces 
blood flow.
  
4. Treating Burns
 Major burns are very serious 
injuries that require medical 
assistance. To help someone 
who has suffered from a major 
burn:
 Do not apply ointments.
 Cover wound with loose 
materials to prevent 
contaminants from infecting it.
  
5. Performing CPR
 CPR stands for 
cardiopulmonary resuscitation. 
CPR is used to restore 
breathing and blood circulation 
to an unresponsive person. 
CPR is an incredibly important 
procedure that can save lives. 
But learning CPR is an 
intensive procedure that 
requires some training, which 
is usually in the form of a day-
long class. The American Red 
Cross offers CPR certification 
classes across the nation.
  
Prepare Yourself with the Right 
Gear
 The methods listed above are 
not very difficult to do and 
they don’t require medical 
training—but they can save 
someone’s life or prevent an 
injured person from sustaining 
serious injuries or infections. 
Make sure that your stash of 
survival gear includes a first 
aid kit, and be sure to refill 
your first aid kit every year as 
its supplies dwindle or expire.
