You Are the Help Until Help Arrives - Taught by Kelly Banks of the American Red Cross of North Florida
In our area, natural disasters, such as hurricanes, are an undeniable fact of life. After a major disaster, emergency personnel may not be able to respond to everyone's needs immediately. This 2.5-hour hands-on class is designed to provide the general public with the basic yet critical skills that can be used during a life-threatening emergency until EMS arrives. In this course you will learn how to:
Act with Confidence: Learn compression-only CPR (no breaths) to save or sustain a life.
Understand AED basics: Gain knowledge on where to find and how to use an AED.
Identify and treat a choking incident: Quickly recognize a choking situation and learn what you can do to help.
Proper treatment for life-threatening bleeding: Learn how to use pressure to stop bleeding as well as how to use a tourniquet and proper treatment after the bleeding stops.
Respond to an overdose: Understand how to administer naloxone in an opioid overdose.
