Give first-aid
Provide life-saving first aid until the emergency services arrive.
- Check if the person is awake (can open their eyes or talk), can breathe, is cold or bleeding greatly.
- If unconscious with normal breathing: place the person in the recovery position (on the side with arms and legs locked, the chin upwards and mouth downwards).
- If the person is lifeless and not breathing normally: start CPR. Give 30 rapid compressions, followed by two rescue breaths. Repeat this process until help arrives.
- If the person is bleeding: press hard on the wound until the bleeding stops. The wound must be elevated above heart level.
- Keep the person warm.
