Preserving life

In order to stay alive, all humans need breath - a clear passage where air can move in through the mouth or nose through the pharynx and down in to the lungs, without obstruction. Conscious humans will maintain their own airway automatically, but those who are unconscious may be unable to maintain a clear airway, as the part of the brain which automatically controls breathing in normal situations may not be functioning.

If the patient was breathing, a first aider would commonly then place them in the recovery position, with the patient leant over on their side, which also has the outcome of clearing the tongue from the pharynx. It also avoids a common cause of death in unconscious person , which is choking on regurgitated stomach contents.

The airway can also become blocked through a foreign object becoming stuck in the pharynx or larynx. And cause them to choke. The first aid CPR responder should be instructed to deal with this through a combination of ‘back slaps’ and ‘abdominal thrusts’.

Once the airway has been cleared , the first aid CPR responder should assess to see if the patient is breathing. If there is no breathing , or the person is not breathing normally , the first aid responder would undertake what is probably the most recognized first aid CPR procedure - Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR, which means breathing for the patient , and manually massaging the heart to get the blood flow around the body.

Promoting recovery

The first responder is also certified in dealing with injuries such as cuts, grazes or bone fracture . They might be able to deal with the situation as a whole with such injuries as a small adhesive patch on a paper cut, or may be required to maintain the condition of something like a bone fracture , until a trained and experienced medical professional comes to the location .
