First aid courses deal with more common emergencies such as bleeding, broken
bones, seizures, and burns. Proper management of these situations early can
reduce morbidity and shorten recovery times.
The First Aid Instructor
program is a development session for teaching standard/basic first aid. The
focus of the course is on the goals of the bystander first aid provider and lay
treatment of emergencies. Successful completion of this program awards the

years, and allows him/her to award ASHI first aid course completion
cards.

Serious and life-threatening medical emergencies often cause oxygen to be
depleted in the body leaving the victim at risk for cardiac arrest or brain
damage. Supplemental oxygen is a critical step in treating a severe or
life-threatening illness or injury. This book focuses on administering emergency
oxygen, rescue breathing and oxygen delivery devices.
