Basic First Aid
Description
Emergency situations can occur at any time, and an untried health care trainee may be among the first to respond-in some cases, perhaps, the only source of aid available. This program will help medical support personnel build their skills and know-how in treating the injured. In addition to the three main principles of emergency care, the video presents field-tested strategies for dealing with cuts, burns, chest pains, bone fractures, breathing emergencies, and apparent poisonings or allergic reactions. Viewers learn specific information on CPR, the proper method of applying pressure to a wound, signs and symptoms of shock, and techniques to calm and reassure a patient in a crisis.
