It includes initial intervention in a serious condition prior to professional medical help being available such as performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) while waiting for an ambulance as well as the complete treatment of minor conditions such as applying a plaster to a cut. First aid is generally performed by someone with basic medical training. Mental health first aid is an extension of the concept of first aid to cover mental health [2] while psychological first aid is used as early treatment of people who are at risk for developing PTSD.[3] Conflict First Aid focused on preservation and recovery of an individual s social or relationship well-being is being piloted in Canada.There are many situations which may require first aid and many countries have legislation regulation or guidance which specifies a minimum level of first aid provision in certain circumstances. This can include specific training or equipment to be available in the workplace (such as an automated external defibrillator) the provision of specialist first aid cover at public gatherings or mandatory first aid training within schools. First aid however does not necessarily require any particular equipment or prior knowledge and can involve improvisation with materials available at the time often by untrained people.[4]First aid can be performed on nearly all animals such as first aid for pets [5] although this article relates to the care of human patients.
