Learn essential first aid actions: CPR, stopping bleeding, recovery position and managing vital emergencies. A practical guide for everyone.
First aid consists of simple gestures that can save lives. In this comprehensive review, we detail the essential procedures that everyone should know.
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is the most critical gesture in case of cardiac arrest. Understand the sequence: 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths. The key is to compress the chest at least 5 cm deep at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute.
Stopping bleeding is another vital gesture. Apply direct pressure on the wound with a clean cloth or bandage. In case of limb hemorrhage, a tourniquet may be necessary, but only as a last resort and noting the time of application.
The recovery position (PLS) applies to unconscious victims who are breathing. This position keeps the airways clear and prevents the victim from choking on vomit. Finally, never forget to call +212 672 151515 (Ambulance Viva Maroc) before any intervention.
