| Description | The first part of the school year will be covering Anatomy/Physiology of the human body. The last few quarters will cover what happens when the anatomy or physiology is impacted by medical or traumatic emergencies. The student will learn how to respond to these emergencies as a first responder. By the end of the course the student will be able to gather information quickly and logically and anticipate how those actions will affect the patient and how to best treat the patient until additional trained providers arrive. Students will be engaged in hands-on learning through practice with Preston infant and adult manikins, splints, and other tools.
Some areas covered: Medical terminology, Skeletal System, Respiratory System, Circulatory System, Nervous System, Adult, child, infant CPR/AED, burns and first aid treatment, heat and cold emergencies, broken bones, tourniquets, bites and stings, stroke, seizures, heart attack, cardiac arrest, diabetic emergencies, etc.
If the student successfully passes this course, they will receive a Red Cross Certification in RTE Adult and Child First Aid/CPR/AED which is valid for two years. |
