Paediatric first aid involves the immediate care given to a child / infant who has been injured, or who has become ill prior to the arrival of qualified medical assistance. It may sound simple but in reality the average person may struggle to deal with the above situation.
Sometimes the situation is made more difficult when the bystander involved has not received any sort of training. During an emergency this could result in someone not knowing what to do, freezing or making a serious mistake. Just a little basic training could potentially prevent all three from happening.
