EMERGENCY
FIRST AID
Emergency First
Aid is a one-day training program that provides excellent
‘hands-on’ skill development to help each participant deal
effectively with the next emergency.
The course
reviews basic first aid for Airways, Breathing and
Cardiovascular emergencies plus bleeding, shock, head and
spinal injuries and minor wound care.
Other areas of
concern such as allergic reactions, seizures, playground or
sports injuries plus various medical conditions or special
needs can also be included to provide a specific focus for the
group.
When you make
the decision to help in an emergency, your knowledge and
skills in priority management can make the difference between
life and death for your patient. Early, effective management can also make the
difference between complete recovery and permanent disability.
Helping in an
emergency involves a ‘layered’ approach.
Don’t worry that you are not an expert – you can
always help. Every
year countless bystanders give help in emergencies.
Some phone for help, some comfort the injured person or
family members, some give first aid and still others help keep
order at the emergency scene.
There are many things that you can do to help.
Training in
Emergency First Aid ensures effective management in the
following areas…
-
scene safety and crowd control
-
reassurance and assistance to the injured (minimize
injury aggravation)
-
immediate priority management of the airway, breathing
and circulation problems (includes
CPR)
-
early determination of ‘911’ protocols and…
-
early access to first aid and patient comfort materials
Training
builds confidence. You
can make a difference.
