The Red Crescent Explains The Steps of First Aid
The Red Crescent Authority explained, through an awareness video, the steps of first aid to help in treating a casualty from a simple fire that a person can be subjected to, indicating that burns, despite their simplicity, require accuracy and a good knowledge of the correct steps.
The video explained the steps of first aid that include protecting oneself from the fire and trying to control it, exposing the burning area from the clothes and cooling it with cold water for a period of more than 10 minutes, and removing the accessories from the affected area gently while covering it gently with clean gauze and without any tension.
The Red Crescent Authority warned against opening or piercing the bubbles resulting from the burning, calling for the need to seek medical advice while carrying out the first aid process.
