This document provides information and guidance on performing first aid in emergency situations. It describes how to assess an injured or unwell person using ABC (airway, breathing, circulation), and what steps to take for different conditions like unconsciousness, no breathing, or no pulse. These include opening the airway, giving rescue breaths, and performing chest compressions. It emphasizes the importance of first aid training and knowing how to handle life-threatening emergencies until medical help arrives. The overall message is that first aid can preserve life by addressing airway, breathing, and circulation issues through simple procedures.

ECC CPR C- CARDIO P-PULMONARY R-RESUSCITATION CPR-is the combination of external chest compression & Rescue breathing An universal compression is 30:2- for Adult & children If only a single rescuer is present
15:2 if 2 rescuer are present. MOVIE OF CPR
