To empower you to handle medical emergencies effectively, here are some essential tips that could make a crucial difference when every second counts.

A medical emergency is a sudden illness that requires immediate medical attention. Hence, it is essential for you to recognise a medical emergency situation when it occurs. Some signs of a potential medical emergency include:
When you spot such signs, do remember the following:
STAY CALM AND ASSESS THE SITUATION
In the event of a medical emergency, it is natural to feel panicked or overwhelmed. However, maintaining a calm demeanour is crucial. Take a deep breath and assess the situation carefully. If a person has been harmed during an accident, the first thing you have to do is check for danger that could pose a threat to you, to other bystanders and to the injured individual. Move to a safe location if necessary. The first rule of administering first aid is to never put yourself in danger when attempting to assist somebody who has been harmed. Also, keep your voice level even. This will help you to stay calm, and will also help other people around you to stay calm.
