First Aid Manual: Military & Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem - Paperback

The need to provide first aid can arise at any time and in any circumstance. It may become necessary in situations where specific equipment may be available, e.g., in the workplace, or in situations where first aid equipment is completely unavailable requiring improvisation with materials available at the time. The first witness of an accident plays an essential role in the survival chain, and therefore the public should be encouraged to learn first aid since they are often the first who are present on the spot and thus can serve as a vital first link in the pre-hospital care. The more people that are trained in First Aid provision, the more the community benefits. The present work should serve as a quick reference manual to dealing with a variety of emergency situations.
