Premergency First Aid, CPR and AED Manual

First Aid, CPR & AED Manual

PREFACE This manual serves as the primary resource for the first aider. It also covers the knowledge and skills you will need to demonstrate to earn an accredited Premergency First Aid Certificate. In addition to the required core content, this manual includes additional information and tools to help you understand the materials and skills in the program. With the development of 911, Paramedic Services and increased public awareness, millions of people have been trained in First Aid, CPR and the operation of AED’s. A first aid course is designed to train a person so they may provide the necessary emergency care to a patient in the minutes before paramedics arrive.

Trained First Aiders are an important first component of emergency care. Knowing the skills outlined in this manual can save a life. DISCLAIMER Premergency Inc. has made every attempt to provide current standards of practice in First aid, CPR and AED guidelines based on ILCOR updates. This manual (and our online material) does not serve as a stand alone certification in First Aid, CPR and AED. As such all holders of this manual must attend a practical First Aid, CPR and AED course to obtain a valid First Aid, CPR and AED certificate. Premergency Inc., will not be held responsible for any losses that may occur from either an accidental error or omission in the information provided herein.
