This course is designed for Divers and Non-Divers. Completion of the course will entitle the successful candidate to be issued with the appropriate certificate from
PADI.
The Emergency First Response course offered by PADI is a basic-training course in cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency care. It is a medically based assistance course designed to train students to follow at laymans level, the same emergency procedures and priorities used by paramedics and doctors.
The skills of patient care necessary to support life of an ill or injured person are covered in seven modules in which practical application and hands-on practice are emphasised. Students learn these skills in the same sequence they would use in caring for a patient.
Primary assessment
One-rescuer CPR
Obstructed airway
Control of bleeding
Shock management
Illness assessment
Injury assessment
The Emergency First Response course covers both the CPR and first-aid techniques in a cohesive manner. This approach is designed to provide the patient with a continuity of care as that patient is passed from the first person on the scene (using the techniques of Emergency
First Response) to the Paramedics and finally on to the doctors in the emergency
room (casualty). |
