Stopped breathing - commence artificial respiration (and heart compressions if the heart has stopped)
Serious bleeding - apply pressure (with sterile cotton pad) to the site of the bleed
Ingested poisoning - give milk or other fluids to help dilute the poison DO NOT make the casualty sick - as they poison may be corrosive and will damage the throat tissues when the patient vomits.
In ALL cases - seek medical attention ASAP !
