Course Description

First Aid Training is an extensive and highly-rated course that spans a duration of 5 hours and 59 minutes. This Health category course, specifically under the subcategory of First Aid, has garnered an impressive average rating of 4.8 stars out of 5, highlighting its effectiveness and the satisfaction of its participants.

The course begins with an introduction to basic CPR and AED techniques for adults, children, and infants, appropriate for healthcare providers. It delves into the latest updates in CPR and First Aid, ensuring that learners are equipped with the current best practices.

Participants are guided through understanding the Five Fears of Rescue, and how to access Emergency Medical Services (EMS) using technology. The course covers critical medical emergencies such as heart attacks and strokes, providing the knowledge necessary to act swiftly and effectively during such events.

Universal precautions and handwashing techniques are emphasized to reduce the risk of infections, while comprehensive sections on rescue breathing for adults, children, and infants, including practice scenarios, ensure participants are proficient in performing these life-saving techniques.

In the wake of the opioid crisis, the course addresses opioid overdose management, and it teaches how to recognize and respond to agonal respiration, which is not normal breathing. Various CPR techniques, including practice for adults, children, and infants, are thoroughly covered.

The course also introduces neonatal Basic Life Support (BLS) and the operation of Automated External Defibrillators (AED) for different age groups, supplemented with practice sessions to build confidence and competence.

Critical skills such as handling spinal injuries with a jaw thrust maneuver and performing Hands-Only CPR are integrated into the curriculum. Advanced topics like two-person rescuer techniques for CPR and AED highlight team approach strategies for effective intervention.

Choking emergencies are meticulously covered, providing techniques for conscious and unconscious individuals of all ages, with hands-on practice to ensure readiness in real-life scenarios.

Participants will learn to manage a range of bleeding types—arterial, venous, and capillary—particularly in workplace settings. The course also covers severe injuries like amputation, shock, and the application of tourniquets and hemostatic agents.

Further, the course includes secondary survey techniques for assessing injuries, such as head, neck, and back injuries, as well as concussions and musculoskeletal injuries like sprains and strains. A detailed examination of burns (thermal, chemical, and electrical), eye injuries, and fainting is provided to equip learners with comprehensive first aid knowledge.

The management of chronic conditions and emergencies like diabetes, seizures, snake bites, allergic reactions, and asthma is taught, along with the proper use of an EpiPen. Learners will understand how to place someone in the recovery position, and handle temperature-related emergencies.

Poison control measures, practical advice on car backing, child-proofing the home, pool safety, and recognizing child abuse and neglect are essential components of this course. It concludes with special considerations for CPR, AED, and choking, ensuring participants are prepared to deal with a wide range of first aid situations.
