Preserve life: The primary goal of first aid, which involves preventing the casualty from dying by ensuring vital functions are maintained, primarily through the Basic ABC (Airway, Breathing, Circulation).
Prevent further worsening: Actions taken to avoid additional injury or deterioration of the casualty’s condition, such as immobilizing fractures or controlling bleeding.
Promote recovery: Efforts to help the casualty feel better and support healing, including emotional reassurance and appropriate medical interventions.
Basic ABC: A fundamental sequence in first aid focusing on securing the airway, ensuring adequate breathing, and maintaining circulation to sustain life.
Immediate basic medical care (First aid): The initial assistance given promptly at the scene of an injury or illness, aimed at stabilizing the casualty until professional medical help arrives.
