First-Aid is the immediate and temporary relief given to the victim of an accident or sudden illness until the services of a physician can be called for. The primary objective of the First-Aid is to save the life. First-Aid has its great significance especially in the hectic life of today. Accidents may occur anywhere whether at home or in school or industry or on road.
In the absence of first aid the injuries of serious nature may take the drastic turn and there may be fatal consequence. First-Aid needs to be given immediately in severe accidents complicated by bleeding, shock and loss of consciousness. The victim’s life depends on the initiative and resourcefulness of those rendering first aid and their skill in making use of materials at hand.
