Stayin' Alive! First aid in Emergency

Course Overview

This course, Stayin' Alive! First Aid in Emergency, introduces the basic actions that should be performed by eyewitnesses right at an emergency scene. It consists of five blocks: first aid for heart arrest (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation), first aid for airway obstruction and drowning, first aid for bleeding, injuries, and trauma, first aid for physical factors exposure, and first aid for life-threatening conditions such as stroke, epilepsy, and heart attack. Educational material includes pictures and videos made at the Simulation Center at Kazan Federal University to better understand the topics. Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to identify life-threatening conditions, explain the reasons lead to their development, and provide correct first aid.

[Applications]
After completing this course, it is recommended that the learner apply the knowledge gained by practicing the skills learned in a safe environment. It is also recommended that the learner stay up to date on the latest first aid techniques and protocols by attending refresher courses and seminars. Additionally, the learner should be aware of the local emergency services and their contact information in case of an emergency.
