The only time to prepare for an emergency is before it happens. Thinking is very crucial as doing when crisis rises. First assess the situation quickly then thats the time you will act immediately. This is just a overview of major rules to bear in mind.
First you don't have to panic- In any crisis, staying calm is the most important rule of all. Panic can turn a problem into a tragedy, it will destroy's judgement and it will paralyzed your muscle, thus you can't move or you don't know what to do. Just always remember to stay in calm, and you can do more than any other single factor to save a life.
Improvise- No emergency is quite like another. In any situation, If you do not have exactly what you need, just prepared to make do with whatever is at hand. Look around for possible substitutes. Maybe you should carry any medical kit in your bag for emergency used, this will really help. Keep looking until you can find one, in some emergency situation that you don't hand in hand.Sometimes in a crisis there is no absolutely safe way out. There may be no choice but to take one risk in order to avoid a greater one. To do so effectively requires clear understanding and a cool head.

I have certifications from Red Cross' First Aid but for sure if an emergency happens I'd be so nervous. I haven't used what I have learned and I pray that I may never get to use it at all. That's because I'm praying that no family member or friends will be in this kind of situation. :)
I am a healthcare provider and it is sad to say that most of the time, it is frustrating that the survival rate is quite very low. Thus, bystander first responder is very much important and active participation from them is laudable.

First aid is something that we all need to learn, especially the mothers out there, including myself :)
