Intermediate (Standard) First Aid Recertification (Price $100)

Frontline Training’s commitment to excellence in first aid education shines through in our Intermediate First Aid Recertification course. Designed to refresh and update participants’ skills, this one-day program ensures that individuals who have previously completed Intermediate First Aid training maintain proficiency in responding to a wide range of medical emergencies. Endorsed by the Red Cross, our course covers essential topics, empowering participants to intervene confidently in critical situations. Let’s delve into each aspect of the course:

Red Cross Certification with Frontline Training: 

Our partnership with the Red Cross underscores our commitment to providing high-quality first aid education. The Red Cross, globally recognized for its humanitarian efforts and expertise in setting standards for first aid training, ensures participants receive instruction aligned with rigorous standards. By choosing Frontline Training, participants trust they receive instruction adhering to these standards, preparing them to respond effectively to emergencies.

Responding to Emergencies: 

In emergency situations, every second counts. Participants learn to react quickly and respond effectively, including assessing the scene for hazards, identifying the emergency’s nature, and prioritizing actions to ensure both victims’ and responders’ safety and well-being. Through hands-on scenarios and simulations, participants hone decision-making skills and learn to remain calm and focused under pressure.

Check, Call, Care: 

This mnemonic serves as a guiding principle for first responders, ensuring a systematic approach to assessing the situation, calling for emergency assistance, and providing appropriate care to the victim. By following this structured approach, responders ensure critical steps are taken in the correct order, minimizing the risk of overlooking essential actions.

Barrier Device/Pocket Masks: 

When performing CPR, using a barrier device such as a pocket mask is crucial for infection control. Participants receive practical training on the correct use of these devices, maintaining a physical barrier between themselves and the victim while delivering effective ventilation, protecting both the responder and the victim from disease transmission.

Choking Adult/Child/Baby: 

Choking incidents can occur across all age groups, requiring responders to adapt techniques accordingly. Participants review and practice maneuvers such as the Heimlich maneuver for adults and children and back blows and chest thrusts for infants, mastering techniques to clear airway obstructions effectively and restore normal breathing.

CPR Adult/Child/Baby:

 Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical skill in cardiac arrest situations. Participants refresh their knowledge of CPR techniques for adults, children, and infants, including proper hand placement, compression depth, and rescue breaths. Through repetitive practice on manikins, participants gain confidence in performing CPR effectively.

AED (Automated External Defibrillator):

 AEDs play a crucial role in restoring a normal heart rhythm in sudden cardiac arrest cases. Participants learn to operate an AED safely and effectively, including proper pad placement and following voice prompts, ensuring comprehensive care in cardiac emergencies.

Angina, Heart Attack, Stroke:

 Recognizing signs and symptoms of cardiovascular emergencies is crucial for prompt intervention. Participants identify indicators of angina, heart attacks, and strokes and understand appropriate first aid measures to take, enabling timely assistance and potentially saving lives.

Assisting with Medications: 

Some emergencies require medication assistance. Participants learn to recognize when such assistance is needed and administer medications safely and accurately, including understanding dosage instructions, proper administration techniques, and potential side effects.

Deadly Bleeding: 

Promptly managing severe bleeding is vital to stabilize the victim’s condition. Participants review techniques for controlling bleeding, including applying direct pressure, elevating the wound, and using pressure dressings or tourniquets, preventing further blood loss and stabilizing the victim’s condition.

Secondary Survey: 

After addressing immediate life-threatening issues, responders conduct a secondary survey to identify additional injuries or medical conditions. Participants learn systematic assessment techniques to thoroughly evaluate the victim’s condition, ensuring all injuries are identified and addressed, improving overall care quality.

Wound Care:

 Proper wound care prevents infection and promotes healing. Participants learn to assess and clean wounds effectively, apply appropriate dressings or bandages, and provide ongoing wound care instructions, optimizing healing outcomes and reducing complications.

Head & Spine Injuries:

 Careful management minimizes the risk of further damage in head and spine injuries. Participants recognize signs of these injuries and apply appropriate stabilization techniques, immobilizing the head and neck to prevent movement and maintain proper alignment until advanced medical care arrives.

Bone, Muscle & Joint Injuries:

 Prompt and proper care alleviates discomfort and prevents complications in bone, muscle, and joint injuries. Participants assess injuries, apply splints or immobilization devices, and provide pain relief measures, effectively managing injuries and preventing further damage.

Sudden Medical Conditions:

 Responding effectively to sudden medical crises stabilizes the patient’s condition and prevents deterioration. Participants recognize signs and symptoms of conditions like seizures, diabetic emergencies, allergic reactions, and asthma attacks, providing appropriate first aid measures.

Environmental Emergencies: 

Recognizing environmental emergencies and providing initial stabilization minimizes exposure to hazards. Participants learn to identify and respond to emergencies like heatstroke, hypothermia, drowning, and chemical exposure, improving outcomes for the patient.

Poison: 

Prompt recognition and first aid measures mitigate the effects of poisoning emergencies. Participants identify signs of poisoning and administer initial care, including activated charcoal administration and monitoring the patient’s condition, aiding in recovery.

Through Frontline Training’s Intermediate First Aid Recertification course, participants refresh their skills and gain confidence to respond effectively to medical emergencies. Our comprehensive approach ensures readiness to make a positive difference, potentially saving lives and promoting community well-being.
