    First aid is situation specific.  But First aid generally means to help someone immediately who is injured or sick. For injuries, being prepared with first aid kits can immediately helps someone with a burns, cuts, punctures, sprains and strains.  For example, flesh wounds, or tissue injuries can be treated with first aid by applying antibiotic cream for burns, cuts and wounds, or wrapping sprains/strains in gauze to immobilize the injury.  This is all done to stabilize the injured/sick prior to taking them to a doctor.  A more crucial application of first aid is the Heimlich maneuver which is immediate first aid done in a critical situation when someone is chocking.

        First aid is an aid which we provide to a person, who gets an accidental injury.
        Its purpose is to provide an initial relief to the pains of the injured person so that he/she could be transferred to the hospital without the unnecessary loss ( loss of blood etc ).
