Triage is the method of deciding who gets treatment first, and it's quite complex. In order, one treats: # Those who have a good chance of living but only if they receive treatment (red tag). Evac first. # Those who have less grave injuries. Under normal circumstances these foks would require an evac but are currently stable. Keep and eye on them and re-triage as necessary. Yellow Tag # Walking wounded. Shocks, minor injuries, fundamentally stable. Green tag -- evac after Yellow # Deceased, or likely to die even with treatment, or those whose treatment will be so extensive as to stop the majority of the overall rescue effort. Evac last. Black tag. Triage is difficult in every way. It requires an accurate, dispassionate assessment, and sometimes making the call about who dies and who doesn't. In tougher cases, one always hopes not to confront, the equation can bet very difficult. If you have 3 medics treating one man, and using up all the supplies, when his life expectancy is 30%, and 3 other less acute patients who have an 80% chance if treated, assuming they leave the more acute patient alone, you're going to have to make a very hard decision. Battlefield triage differs from this approach, but is beyond the scope of this anwer.
Paramedic
Paramedic is the most important person in a first aid because he knows that how to deals with the patient in serious condition.
first responder? EMT? paramedic? Accident Scene Manager?
a more qualified person arrives ie paramedic/doctor/ambulance personnel
The conclusion of first aid is to provide rapid assistant to the injured person and place the person in a comfortable position. This can be in the form of placing a bandage on the injured area and providing a sling to hold the affected part.
the first help that an injured person needs before the doctor arrives is called first aid.
Either in person, by telephone, or radio. Paramedics had the duty of preserving evidence or reporting suspicious circumstances to the police. Many suspects will confess to a paramedic because he is the first one to see the suspect before the police arrive.
No. But a firefighter has to have advanced first-aid training.
A first aid is just a person who provides the initial, FIRST aid. It could be anyone, as long as they are providing aid. This is as opposed to second aid which could be a paramedic or hospital.
