Heartsaver First Aid Course Description
Safeguard CPR offers the Heartsaver First Aid course to train participants on first aid basics for the most common first aid emergencies, including how to recognize them, how to call for help, and how to perform lifesaving skills. First aid, or the initial care provided for an acute illness or injury, has the goals of preserving life, alleviating suffering, preventing further illness or injury, and promoting recovery. First aid can be initiated by anyone in any situation and includes self-care. General characteristics of the provision of first aid, at any level of training, include recognizing, assessing, and prioritizing the need for first aid; providing care using appropriate competencies; and recognizing limitations and seeking additional treatment when needed, such as activating emergency medical services or seeking other medical assistance (emergency services).
