The immediate care given to an injured person before professional medical or doctor services arrive is called first aid. First aid involves the initial assistance provided to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, or promote recovery until medical help is available. It can include actions such as assessing the situation, ensuring safety, calling for emergency services, performing CPR, controlling bleeding, and managing minor injuries on the spot
. First aid is typically performed by someone with basic training or knowledge in emergency care and is crucial in improving survival and recovery outcomes before professional treatment begins
