E.F.R. Care for Children
EFR Care for Children 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. The lay rescuer follows 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. Instruction prepares the rescuer to render aid to an infant or child with a life-threatening emergency such as choking or cardiac arrest. The course then 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 for Children course content is based on guidelines from the Paediatric Working Group of ILCOR.
Care for Children skills taught:
Scene Safety Assessment; Communicable Disease Protection & Barrier Use; Primary Assessment; Obstructed Airway Management (child and infant); Rescue Breathing (child and infant); Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (child and infant); Automated External Defibrillator (AED) use; Serious Bleeding Management; Shock Management; Spinal Injury Management.
Secondary Care skills include:
Injury Assessment
Bandaging
Illness Assessment.
