8. CPR and AED
The Emergency First Response CPR & AED training course teaches the basic principles of CPR
and how to deploy and use an Automated External Defibrillation (AED) in an emergency
situation. This life saving device and training can increase a patients chance of survival from a
cardiac arrest by around fifty percent.
This Emergency First Response training course is very popular for annual CPR (re-)training often
required for the workplace to meet workplace safety requirements.
9. Care for Children
The Emergency First Response Care for Children training course is an innovative CPR, AED and First Aid training course
that teaches participants how to provide emergency care for injured or ill children (ages one to eight) and infants less than
one year old. Participants learn about the types of medical emergencies that children face, and how they differ from adults.
The curriculum also includes the importance of attending to basic emergency situations with children, the emotional
aspects of caring for children, secondary care for children, and preventing common injuries and illnesses in children.
The Emergency First Response Care for Children course trains the lay rescuer to follow the same priorities of care used by
medical professionals. The student masters the priorities and the procedures of patient care for infants and children in a
non-stressful learning environment, which reduces the performance anxieties that interfere with learning and enhances
confidence when rendering aid in a real medical emergency.
The course includes both primary care (CPR) and secondary care (first aid) skills. The primary care portion of the course
prepares the rescuer to help an infant or child with a life-threatening emergency such as choking or cardiac arrest.
Secondary care focuses on developing first aid skills and building the rescuers confidence to help an infant or child in need
when emergency medical services are either delayed or unavailable. The Care for Children course content is based on
guidelines from the Pediatric Working Group of ILCOR.
Care for Children Primary Care Course Content:
Scene Assessment, Barrier Use, Primary Assessment, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR, child and infant), Serious
Bleeding Management, Shock Management, Spinal Injury Management, Conscious and Unconscious Choking
