First Aid Instruction
Automated External Defibrillator Training
Programs that provide training for emergency medical technicians and others in the use of an automated external defibrillator, a small device that delivers electric current to the heart through adhesive pads that are placed on the chest of someone who is in cardiac arrest as a means of restoring a pulse.
Programs that instruct the public in the appropriate techniques for prolonging the lives of victims of heart failure until emergency medical care can be provided. Included may be instruction in full CPR which combines rescue breaths with chest compressions (the best option in some emergencies, including those involving infants and children, drowning victims or people who collapse due to breathing problems) and/or hands only CPR which involves chest compressions only, no mouth to mouth contact. Hands only CPR is used in emergencies where someone suffers sudden cardiac arrest.
Programs that offer classes which teach child care providers, babysitters, parents, grandparents, teachers and others who supervise children to recognize and care for cardiac and breathing emergencies common to infants and children, usually from birth to age 12. Participants are taught to prioritize care in an emergency involving more than one victim, protect themselves from disease transmission by taking precautions while giving care, clear an airway obstruction in a child who is choking, give rescue breathing and administer care in cardiac emergencies using CPR. Some classes also include basic first aid and/or the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) with infants and children.
