| | First aid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | First aid for a mildly hypothermic patient includes rewarming, but rewarming a severely hypothermic person could result in a fatal arrhythmia, an irregular heart rhythm. | | | First aid is the immediate and temporary aid provided to a sick or injured person until medical treatment can be provided. | | | An "Emergency Aid for Appointed Persons" course typically lasts one day, and covers the basics, focusing on critical interventions for conditions such as cardiac arrest and severe bleeding, and is usually not formally assessed. |

| | "First aid is the foundation for what the Red Cross does in terms of the culture and principles of the Movement," says Alvaro Bermejo, a medical doctor and the director of the Federation's health department. | | | But increasingly, it is developing into a more holistic notion of care, providing both physical and psychological support. | | | Red Cross and Red Crescent first-aid training and practice is about instilling that vital confidence to act: who has not at some time in their lives stood on the fringes of an accident and wished they could do more to help? |
