Course
The Emergency First Response Care for
Children 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 adult
conditions. 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.
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 render aid to an infant or
child with a life-threatening emergency such as choking or cardiac
arrest. Secondary care focuses on developing secondary patient
care skills and building the rescuer's confidence to render first
aid to 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
