Could you save a life? Five first aid tips you can learn

Tracy Taylor, a first aid expert from the British Red Cross, demonstrated five first-aid techniques that could potentially save someone’s life.

According to new research commissioned by the British Red Cross and conducted by the University of Manchester, up to 59% of 'pre-hospital' deaths from injury could potentially be prevented if more people stepped in with some simple first aid.

Whilst 93% of people will call for an ambulance if they find someone with an injury, first aid intervention of any kind was infrequent. Around half of the cases in this study did not attempt any first aid while waiting for the emergency medical services to arrive.
