It is usually done by a person who has basic knowledge of first aid. First aid is the help given at the right time which can be very useful in any emergency.

P.R.I.C.E.

The PRICE rule is used for injury treatment, which means – Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation.

Protection:

• The affected part must be protected to prevent the injury from getting worse.

• Avoid putting weight on it by using crutches, canes, or other assistive devices.

Rest:

• Stop using or limiting activity in the injured area to prevent aggravating the injury, increasing pain, and promoting quicker recovery.

• Use crutches to keep weight off leg, knee, ankle or foot injuries, and apply a splint for hand, elbow or wrist injuries.

Ice:

• Applying ice constricts the blood vessels, which reduces internal bleeding and reduces swelling.

• Place a dry or wet cloth on the skin before applying ice and do not apply it for more than 15-20 minutes. Repeat this for 10-20 minutes every hour.

Compression:

• Use an elastic bandage, cloth, or compression sleeve to reduce swelling around the injury.

• Wrap the bandage properly so that blood flow is not restricted. A bandage that is too tight can increase swelling.

Elevation:

• Elevate the injured limb above the level of the heart. This reduces swelling and pain.

• Use pillows or other objects for this.
