First Aid treatment is given to a casualty in order:
• To preserve life
• To prevent the condition from worsening
• To promote recovery
• Give First Aid: Once the area is safe make an assessment of each casualty. If there is more than one, prioritize in order of:
• Not breathing / no circulation
• Unconsciousness
• Severe bleeding
Check those who are not making any noise first as these may be the more critically injured. Check if the casualty is conscious, ask a question and see if they answer by talking or moving. If there is no response, shake the shoulders gently to avoid causing further damage and/or pain. If the casualty is unconscious follow the ABC of resuscitation explained later in this section.
• Raise the Alarm: Do not delay calling the medical emergency team. If other crew members or passengers are at the scene, ask them to raise the alarm stating the location and type of emergency whilst you continue giving first aid. Make sure that anyone sent to raise the alarm reports back.
If you are on your own, you should give resuscitation (see ABC) for at least one minute to any casualty who may need it before seeking help. Do not leave any casualties on their own if there is a life threatening danger. Attract attention by shouting, banging the bulkheads with a hard object or activate a nearby fire alarm. The following diagram gives a summary of the emergency response to follow in the event of finding a casualty.
