First aid is essential in preventing further injury and ultimately saving lives. First Aid for Life states that a Red Cross survey revealed that 59% of deaths from injuries could have been avoided if first aid had been given prior to the emergency services arriving. In order to provide basic first aid, First Aid for Life recommends that people remember the acronym DRABC; Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing and Circulation. Taking these basic steps can bring huge life-saving benefits in a medical incident. First aid knowledge not only empowers people with the ability to save a life but it also gives them confidence in providing these life-saving actions.
