Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking countries, offering help in an emergency is seen as a social responsibility. Using the phrase 'primeros auxilios' is standard; avoid colloquial shortcuts like 'primeros auxi' which can sound unprofessional. If you’re in a formal setting, you might add a polite preface such as 'Disculpen' before the question.
