Before administering any first aid we must make sure that the area is safe in order not to expose ourselves, the victim or any bystanders to risk. After that, ask a colleague for help. He/she is going to look for medical assistance on board. Finally, you must assess the victim's state of health and apply rescue actions.

Follow these basic steps to deal with any medical emergency.

1.Check the victim for response: Is he/she conscious?

a. Open the airway: tilt head-lift chin  
b. Breathing: Is he/she breathing?
c. CPR: If he/she is not breathing effectively, apply CPR
