This topic gives a basic overview of first aid in road traffic accidents. It includes initial assessment of the casualty, bleeding control, immobilization, breathing support and principles of safe movement of an injured person.
The usual first-aid sequence begins with scene safety, calling emergency services, and assessing the casualty’s responsiveness and normal breathing. Severe bleeding should be controlled quickly with direct pressure, a suspected fracture should be moved as little as possible, and if an unconscious casualty is not breathing normally, resuscitation should begin according to the trained algorithm. Do not move an injured person unnecessarily when there is no immediate danger.
