Preserving life

In order to stay alive, all humans need to breath – a clear passage where air can move in through the mouth or nose through the pharynx and down in to the lungs, without obstruction. Conscious people will maintain their own airway automatically, but those who are unconscious may be unable to maintain a clear airway, as the part of the brain which automatically controls breathing in normal situations may not be functioning.

If the person was breathing, a first aider should usually then place them in the recovery position, with the person leant over on their side, which also has the outcome of clearing the tongue from the pharynx. It also avoids a common cause of death in unconscious patients , which is choking on regurgitated stomach contents.

The airway can also become blocked through a foreign object becoming stuck in the pharynx or larynx. And cause them to choke. The first aid CPR responder will be taught to deal with this through a combination of ‘back slaps’ and ‘abdominal thrusts’.

Once the airway has been opened , the first aid responder would assess to see if the person is breathing. If there is no breath , or the person is not breathing regularly , the first aid responder would undertake what is more than likely the most recognized first aid procedure – Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR, which means breathing for the patient , and manually massaging the heart to promote blood flow through the body.

Promoting recovery

The first aid responder is also trained in dealing with minor injuries such as cuts, grazes or broken bone(s) . They may be able to deal with the situation as a whole with such injuries as a small adhesive patch on a paper cut, or may be required to maintain the condition of something like a broken bone , until the trained and certified medical professional arrives to the location .
