Basic First Aid Bundle

Course Description 

This Basic First Aid bundle consists of six courses: First Aid - Basics, Medical Emergencies, Basic Life Support, Bleeding and Wound Care, Burns and Electrical Shock, and Serious Injuries.

 First aid given at the scene can improve a victim's chances of survival and recovery.  These courses present ways to respond to basic first aid situations until the emergency medical services personnel arrive. These courses will teach the learner how to administer first aid care for various emergencies ranging from sudden illness to poisoning or heat and cold-related illnesses. Basic life support will refresh your memory on recognizing cardiac incidents, performing CPR, and treating choking victims. Learners will also learn how to control bleeding, clean and dress minor wounds, and recall special care needed for impaled objects, amputations, and head, eye, ear, nose and mouth injuries. One of the other courses in this bundle will teach the learner to recognize first, second, and third-degree burns from fire and how to treat heat, chemical and electrical burns, and electrical shock.
