Emergency First Response Care for Children 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.
