FIRST AID VIDEOS GET SPECIFIC

Have you ever had a request for more detailed first aid training for heart attacks, strokes, or allergic reactions? Do you train in areas where workers are at a higher than normal risk for hypothermia, snake bites or specific types of injury such as amputations or burnsZ With the release of the MEDIC FIRST AID@ Specific First Aid Topic Series, you will have no problem meeting those requests.

Divided into two topic categories - Illness and Injury - the new, series of 21 supplementary video programs easily integrate into the MEDIC FIRST AID@ Basic Version 5 training system. To use, simply show the videos within the managing specific first aid topics segment in each program.

Instructors have the option of selecting topics specific to their needs. For example, clients in cold weather locations might benefit from the "Exposure to Cold" program, which details basic treatment options for hypothermia and frostbite.
The Injury Programs - which include topics on amputations and impalements are an ideal fit for industrial work sites, where heavy machinery increases the risk of those types of injuries.
Each program can stand alone, for use in safety meetings, for personal use, or in situations where someone or some group wishes to learn more detailed information about a particular subject. For an untrained person, all programs come with an optional standardized introduction which highlights the fundamental aspects of emergency care, pointing students toward basic training if they have not already had it.

The videos run under ten minutes, and follow a fairly uniform structure. Real time scenarios or multiple topic vignettes set in numerous industrial, office and sitespecific locations are followed by bulleted instructions on how to conduct a patient history and assessment. Specific care instructions in contextual settings follow, and additional considerations round out each program.

Programs covering physical assessment and patient history, asthma, bites and stings, strokes, heart attacks, seizures and allergic reactions are now available, with many more on the way over the coming months.
