Introduction: First aid is the provision of assistance to the injured before the arrival of paramedics, which can be provided by anyone in any situation. The first step is to recognize that someone needs our help and call 112. The other is the appropriate knowledge to provide first aid. Purpose: The purpose of the diploma thesis is to present the correct lay first aid measures for a motorcyclist involved in a traffic accident. The focus will be on gathering information on appropriate first aid at the scene of an accident and other measures. At the same time, it will be presented how to reduce the fear and stress of providing first aid in order to make the decision to provide assistance to as many individuals as possible. Metods: In the diploma work we used a descriptive method of work. We reviewed Slovenian and foreign professional and scientific literature. We searched the literature in various databases. Inclusion criteria for the use of literature in the thesis were: fully freely available online content for members of the University of Ljubljana library, Slovenian or English, year of publication 2012 or later and review, while the exclusion criterion was substantive inconsistency of literature with the topic. . Due to the relevance of some older literature, we also used literature older than 10 years. Results: We clarified the method of the correct approach to the injury, the method of removing the helmet and the importance of a stable lateral position. Discussion and conclusion: We have found dramatic successes in preventing traffic injuries with providing timely and technically correct first aid. Failure to use a protective helmet is associated with increased magnification for severe injuries. Studies suggest that motorcycle helmets protection against CSI injuries in motorcycle accidents, especially in those who wore a helmet with full coverage. Research dispels the myth that a motorcycle helmet can damage the spine during a collision. The findings show that if the victim is placed in the right position at the right time, the possibility of airway obstruction and thus death is reduced. Many lay people do not know the stable lateral position or the position of the unconscious and therefore do not act properly.
