When providing basic medical care to someone experiencing a sudden injury or illness is known as first aid.

In some cases, first aid consists of providing initial support to someone in the middle of a medical emergency or someone with a minor injury till professional care is accessible.

Finally, first aid consists of initial and immediate support and care provided to someone with a life threatening emergency. This support might help them survive until healthcare professionals arrive at the scene.
