 The ABC of First Aid – Understanding the DR ABC Method


Hello and welcome to First Aid Simplified, the student-led blog where we break down life-saving knowledge into easy, practical lessons anyone can understand.




I’m Yusuf Ridwanulahi Adeleke, and today I’m excited to share an eye-opening educational video that explains one of the most important systems in basic life support the DR ABC method.




This method helps you know exactly what to do first when someone suddenly collapses or needs help.


🎥 Video: What is DR ABC?


📺 Video by iHASCO:


Title: “What is the DR ABC? | Basic Life Support in Care Training | iHASCO”

In this video, the professionals at iHASCO explain step-by-step how to use DR ABC during emergencies.

🔤 What is DR ABC?

Let’s break it down:

D – Danger: Make sure the area is safe before helping.

R – Response: Gently check if the person responds to your voice or touch.

A – Airway: Open the airway by tilting the head and lifting the chin.

B – Breathing: Check if the person is breathing normally.

C – Circulation: If not breathing, begin chest compressions and call emergency services.


These steps could help save someone’s life before an ambulance arrives. Learning them early could make you a real hero one day.

👦 A Note From Yusuf


As a young Nigerian student passionate about helping others, I created this blog to teach first aid the easy way. Even though I don’t have equipment or a studio, I believe everyone deserves to learn how to save a life.


If you’ve never heard of DR ABC before, now you have! Please share this with your friends and family.


Let’s keep learning together.
