First-Aid Basics
First aid provides immediate support while appropriate professional care is being obtained. The correct response depends on the situation.
This page provides general health education and information organization guidance. It is not a diagnosis, personalized treatment plan or substitute for professional medical care.
Prioritize safety
Before helping, consider whether the environment is safe for you and the person who needs assistance.
Know important information
Emergency information can include allergies, medicines, known conditions and emergency contacts when available and appropriate.
Use appropriate training
First-aid procedures should follow recognized training and current guidance. Do not attempt unfamiliar procedures when professional help is available.
Emergency situations
Life-threatening symptoms require emergency services or appropriate urgent medical assistance rather than relying on an app or article.
Keep useful health information organized
NizHealth helps people keep personal health information, measurements, symptoms, medicines, documents, reminders and other records organized in one place. Organized records can make it easier to review changes over time and prepare for conversations with qualified healthcare professionals.
