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.
