First Aid for Traumatic Injuries
This lesson covers first aid responses to traumatic injuries, including how to control bleeding (pressure and tourniquets), manage dental injuries and nosebleeds, handle punctures and impaled objects, provide care for eye, head, and spine injuries, support bone and joint injuries (splinting and amputations), and treat burns and electrical injuries while knowing when to call EMS.

Environmental Injury and Illnesses

5
Adult CPR, AED and Choking
This lesson teaches how to recognize cardiac arrest, perform high-quality adult CPR (compressions and breaths), use a mask and an AED safely, activate EMS quickly, and manage choking in adults with abdominal thrusts and CPR if the person becomes unresponsive.
-
6
Child CPR, AED and Choking
Children have breathing difficulties more often than they have actual heart problems. Therefore, it is important to begin CPR quickly and perform five sets of CPR for one rescuer or ten sets of CPR for two rescuers before going to get additional help. One set of CPR for one rescuer consists of 30 compressions and two breaths, and one set of CPR for two rescuers consists of 15 compressions and two breaths.
