Emergency Responder: Advanced First Aid for Non-EMS Personnel is not just another first-aid book. Designed for working professionals, this flexible program blends textbook with online modules and instructor-led hands-on training events.
Drawing from years of experience training and developing emergency response teams, the author covers the most important skills needed in order to effectively respond to life-threatening events. Establishing a foundation in the basic concepts of emergency medical care, the text presents in a logical, easy-to-follow format many of the most common illnesses and injuries responders are likely to encounter.
Emergency Responder: Advanced First Aid for Non-EMS Personnel is an important component of a complete training program for responders who are trained to provide first aid before EMS personnel arrive.
Regardless of the responder's primary occupations - law enforcement officer, firefighter, life guard, corrections officer, corporate response team member, security officer, park ranger, or other - this program is designed to provide users with the kowledge and skills necessary to take them beyond basic first aid training so they can provide the best care possible.
