PADI Emergency First
Response Care for Children Course
The
Emergency First Response Care for Children course is an innovative CPR, AED and
First Aid training course that teaches participants how to provide emergency
care for injured or ill children (ages one to eight) and infants less than one
year old. Participants learn about the types of medical emergencies that
children face, and how they differ from adult conditions. The curriculum also
includes the importance of attending to basic emergency situations with
children, the emotional aspects of caring for children, secondary care for
children, and preventing common injuries and illnesses in children.
Emergency First Response Care for Children course trains the lay rescuer to
follow the same priorities of care used by medical professionals. The student
masters the priorities and the procedures of patient care for infants and
children in a non-stressful learning environment, which reduces the performance
anxieties that interfere with learning and enhances confidence when rendering
aid in a real medical emergency.
The
course includes both primary care (CPR) and secondary care (first aid) skills.
The primary care portion of the course prepares the rescuer to render aid to an
infant or child with a life-threatening emergency such as choking or cardiac
arrest. Secondary care focuses on developing secondary patient care skills and
building the rescuer's confidence to render first aid to an infant or child in
need when emergency medical services are either delayed or unavailable. The Care
