PREFACE
Since 1910， the American National Red Cross has provided first
aid instruction to tide American public.
The First Aid Program of the American National Red Cross， for
which this book is a teaching text， stems from the congressional
charter provision that the organization shall devise and carry on
measures for relieving and preventing suffering，
This textbook is desigued for use by the general public to prepare
i people， through providing them with knowledge and skills， to meet
the needs of most situations when emergency first aid care is needed
and medical assistance is not excessively delayed. It incorporates
personal safety and accident prevention information to acquaint
individuals with many causes of accidents so that action can be
taken to eliminate or minimize such causes.
To define .current remedial procedures for this textbook， the Red
Cross has asked the Division of Medical Sciences， National Academy
of Sciences-National Research Council， to provide information for
i developing the content. The Division s assistance ensures the attthor-
i itative basis for the course content and provides a chamtel for
; extending the first aid recommendations of the medical profession to
! the American public.
