First Aid DRSABC

we learnt an easy way to remember the process of first aid for when  you find someone unconscious.

Danger- Check for danger before rushing to the person's side. etc; oil, shards of glass, fire, ceilings collapsing, gases, other people in danger or other people in the area that might be a threat to you.
Response- stand a safe distance and call out to the person incase they are sleeping if they do not wake up stand beside them one foot back one foot forward then tap firmly on their collar bone and cal to them.
Send for help-If they did not wake up call an ambulance or if you do not have a phone yell help help! until someone hears you then tell them to go call an ambulance and then come back to you so you know they actually have called an ambulance and not just run away.
Air way- Tilt the persons head back to prevent the persons tongue blocking their airway.
Breathing- Then put your hand on the persons diaphragm ( just bellow the ribs ) and put your ear and cheek next to their mouth so you can feel and hear them breath.
C.P.R- If they are not breathing then commence C.P.R 30 pumps in the middle of the chest and 2 breaths into the mouth.

That is the DRSABC.
