Description
First aid care is the science or evidence-based care offered to someone who has had an accident or sudden injury or illness before superior medical help can be reached. The major goal of first aid is to preserve and promote life, at least until further medical care is reached. In most emergencies, first aid care is enough, completely relieving the situation that would otherwise claim life.
