Excerpt
Making a decision about calling for emergency medical help is usually one of the first things you do when you come upon the scene of a medical emergency. Obviously, some minor injuries may not require calling EMS or even a visit to a medical facility. Treatment can be given on the scene and no further medical attention will be required, unless complications arise. Here are some more tips about providing first aid to remember:
• A victim can be safely transported to the hospital by a co-worker or friend. However, whenever you're unsure of what to do, or feel that emergency assistance is needed, don't hesitate to call EMS.
• Giving first aid should never delay activating EMS or getting medical attention when required.
• Attention to monitoring the victim and performing CPR to the level you are trained is always important while administering first aid.
• A well-stocked first aid kit is often the key to providing the right help. Make sure your kits contain the items listed in the First Aid Kit Checklist.
Remember, Do No Further Harm - if you are unsure or your intervention causes pain at any time, stop.
