EMERGENCY FIRST AID FUNDAMENTALS

No matter where we live, what country we hail from, we are all familiar with the sights and sounds of our emergency responders.

The uniforms may be different.

The mode of transport changed depending on the circumstances.

The sounds not quite the same pitch.

Regardless of these changes ...nearly every person in the whole wide world is aware, that when put into action, we know, all to well that someone, somewhere, is in desperate need of assistance, rescue, medical intervention.

What if, it were your loved one, friend or even yourself? Those sirens, the emergency responders, all that equipment would be a very welcome sight.

More often than not, assistance is only a few minutes away.

BUT WHAT IF, that were not the case?

WHAT IF, assistance was needed out in the middle of a rural area, and those responders where hours or even days away?

Yes, this scenario might sound unrealistic, but it happens !

Would you know what TO DO?

In todays world, we rely heavily on our cell phones to always be there at our beck and call, but a dead battery, a dropped or damaged device. What if we venture into an area without cell service, and yes, such areas do actually exist...would you know how to provide assistance above and beyond the level of comfort care first aid ?

Such knowledge might mean the difference between a life and death situation.

FIRST AID SUPPLIES

In an EMERGENCY situation what should you have in your first aid kit?

Is it just for your personal needs?

Do you need additional supplies for the possibility of multiple casualties?

How do you decide which items are best to carry in any given situation?

During this lesson plan will look at the multitude of different items that are available on the shelves of both physical and online stores.

Which ones are most needed? Which items are a must have! And how to uses each item to its most beneficial use.

How To BE our own FIRST Responder!

While this instructor lead program will not equipped us to the degree that the first responders are trained and equipped.

IT CAN BUY ESSENTIAL TIME AND PRESERVE LIFE OR LIMB WHILE WE AWAIT THE ARRIVAL OF THE EXPERTS.

NO, this course will not turn us into professionally trained medical personnel.

What it will Do is give us INSIGHT into many topics that can sustain life, until such time as those who do have the professional training are available to take over and do their job.

HOW WOULD YOU ???

Would you have any idea just how to...

Deal with an OPEN FRACTURE?

What resources could you find to assist someone with an SUCKING CHEST WOUND?

Would you even know what one was?

What are the different degrees of BURNS, that could be sustained from a camping accident?

How could you treat them?

These and other topics will be covered during this lesson plan.

NO, it may not equip us to the same level as the experts.

BUT IT WILL assist us to be able to assist others, who find themselves in needed of urgent intervention, during times of accidents and emergencies.

ACCIDENTS OR EMERGENCIES CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, AND WITHOUT WARNING.

Being prepared can be the difference between helping and calming, OR possibly hindering and causing additional pain and distress.

Knowing what to do, can and will, give us the needed courage to step in and take control, when there may be no one else available to do so.
