Synopsis:
Every 5 years, the Red Cross updates its training programs to conform to the latest scientific research and recommendations of the ECC (Emergency Cardiovascular Care). During the update to the new science recommendations, we use this as an opportunity to refresh and improve our training programs and materials. For more information, click here. The primary purpose of the American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED program is to help participants recognize and respond appropriately to cardiac, breathing and first-aid emergencies. The courses allow participants learn how to provide immediate care to an injured or ill person until medical professionals arrive. Designed for use by participants during the course or as a resource after training, our Ready Reference Card for Adult First Aid/CPR/AED offers concise step-by-step instructions for responding to emergencies, as well as full-color photos. It also Incorporates the latest 2015 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) Guidelines, and meets OSHA guidelines. Topics include: Checking a Responsive Adult Checking an Adult Who Appears to be Unresponsive CPR AED Choking External Bleeding Burns Stroke Anaphylaxis
