COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1.  Students perform adult, child and infant CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), foreign body

    airway obstruction, and Automatic External Defibrillation (AED).

2.  Students demonstrate first aid skills which include: developing an emergency action plan,

    comprehensive victim assessment, control of severe bleeding, wound care, treatment for

    shock, burns, bone, joint and muscle injuries, heat and cold exposure, and medical and

    cardiovascular emergencies.

Objectives:

The purpose of the CPR, AED and Standard First Aid course is to train participants in emergency response skills. Participants learn how to give immediate care to a person who has been injured or is experiencing a sudden illness.

At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Explain the early warning signs of and first aid for a heart attack.

2. List the risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

3. Perform adult, child, and infant Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).

4. Perform adult, child, and infant foreign body airway obstruction (on a conscious and

    unconscious victim).

5. Use an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) on an unconscious adult, child or infant.

6. Place an unconscious victim (who is breathing) in the recovery position.

7. Explain the importance of airway management when a person is unconscious.

8. Understand the legal aspects of administering CPR and first aid (i.e. Good Samaritan Laws,

    negligence and obtain consent).

9. Explain the importance of using personal protective equipment (face mask or shield and

    gloves) to prevent disease transmission.

10. Create an emergency action plan (i.e. survey scene for safety, gain consent, assess chief

    complaint, conduct primary and secondary exams, obtain medical history and administer first

    aid).

11. Recognize the signs and symptoms and administer first aid for medical and cardiovascular

    emergencies.

12. Administer first aid to control external and internal bleeding.

13. Provide first aid for open wounds, amputations and impaled objects.

14. Describe the signs and symptoms and administer first aid for medical and cardiovascular

    emergencies (i.e. heart attack, angina, stroke, asthma, fainting, seizures, and diabetic

    emergencies).

15. Administer first aid for thermal, chemical, and electrical burns.

16. Provide first aid for bone, joint and muscle injuries (i.e. fractures, dislocations, sprains, and

    strains).

17. Describe the signs and symptoms and administer first aid for heat related emergencies

    (i.e. heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke).

18. Explain the signs and symptoms and administer first aid for cold related emergencies

    (i.e. frost bite and hypothermia).
