First Aid Tips To Follow Before The Ambulance Reaches You
These are basic first-aid suggestions for common emergencies. Call the ambulance immediately, stay calm, and do only what is safe until trained medical help arrives.
If There Is Heavy Bleeding
Apply firm pressure with a clean cloth or bandage. Do not keep checking the wound repeatedly. Keep pressure steady until help arrives.
If There Is Chest Pain
Keep the patient seated and calm. Loosen tight clothing. Avoid walking, climbing stairs, or any physical strain while waiting for the ambulance.
If Breathing Is Difficult
Help the patient sit upright. Keep the space ventilated. Do not crowd around the patient, and keep them as calm as possible.
If There Is A Fracture Or Fall
Do not move the injured limb unnecessarily. Support the injured part gently and avoid forcing the patient to stand or walk.
If You Suspect A Stroke
Watch for face drooping, arm weakness, or speech difficulty. Call immediately and note the time when symptoms started if possible.
If There Is A Seizure
Clear nearby sharp objects, protect the head with something soft, and do not put anything in the patient's mouth. Turn them to one side after the seizure if possible.
If There Are Burns
Cool the burned area gently with clean running water if available. Do not apply ice, toothpaste, or oils on the burn.
What Details To Keep Ready
Share the pickup location, patient age, condition, destination hospital if known, and your contact number when you call the ambulance.
What Not To Do
Do not force food, water, or medicines into an unconscious or choking patient. Do not move the patient unnecessarily unless there is immediate danger.
