CPR and First Aid: Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care
First aid and CPR
are good skills for anyone involved in adventure sports – just in case.
And, you need these skills for the PADI Rescue Diver course.
Emergency First Response is a PADI affiliate that specializes in teaching these lifesaving skills – and they’re for anyone, not just divers. Most PADI Instructors are also Emergency First Response Instructors!
The Fun Part
The fun part about Emergency First Response training is learning serious medical emergency response skills in an upbeat, positive environment. You gain the confidence that you are prepared to help in an emergency.
What You Learn in the EFR Primary and Secondary Care Courses
- BLS (Basic Life Support) CPR and rescue breathing at the layperson level
- AED (automated external defibrillator) use (optional)
- Preventing and caring for shock
- Spinal injury management
- Use of barriers to reduce disease transmission risk
- Basic first aid and first aid kit considerations
The Learning Materials You Need
Through
a combination of independent study and skill practice with an
instructor, you’ll build the confidence and skills to provide basic
emergency care. The Primary and Secondary Care Manual and video on DVD
preview emergency scenarios and provide step-by-step skill
demonstrations.
The Emergency First Response Care at a Glance card is a quick-reference guide for emergency situations. Designed to fit in a glove compartment or backpack, the Care at a Glance card is an important component for any first-aid or disaster preparedness kit.
These learning materials are included in your class.
