ISBN: 0077294416


First Aid is a 52-page full-color manual that covers the material necessary for a 3.5 to 4 hour Basic First Aid course. The layperson (not a health care provider) is the audience for the manual and course. The focus is teaching a layperson to recognize an emergency and take action in an emergency until professional help arrives. Guidelines of care are derived from the national guidelines such as Emergency Cardiovascular Care and the American Burn Association. The manual focuses on need-to-know information and has a clear and easy to understand presentation.

Pocket Guide has been updated to include Hands-only CPR
