First
aid and CPR trained girls and adults are always needed at events.
All first aid courses are valid for three years from date of
completion. CPR courses are valid for one year from date of
completion.
All first aid courses have the
same skills and basic general information but use different
books, scenarios, videos, and have different emphasis. All Red
Cross First Aid/CPR/AED courses train individuals to act in
emergency situations and to recognize and care for life threatening
respiratory or cardiac emergencies. Also included are rescue
breathing, choking and CPR skills. Early recognition of a heart
attack and information on accident prevention is also presented.
General standard first aid information and skills i.e. bandaging
and splinting are covered. Preventing disease transmission and
responsibilities of a First Aider are also included.

The different fist aid courses are:
The Sports Safety Training (SST)
was developed with the US Olympic Committee and combines lectures
and demos to teach sports and group activity related first aid
and injury prevention skills. It is a Level II First Aid class
for Girl Scout purposes. The scenarios are based on outdoor
activities and sports.
The Community First Aid and
Safety (CFAS) course offers first aid and safety
information related to the home environment. It is a Level I
First Aid class. When combined with When Help is Delayed, it
becomes a Level II class.
The Wilderness First Aide
course teaches first aid skills and knowledge for settings in
which emergency care is delayed for long periods, or self-evacuation
is necessary. It is an in-depth Level II First Aid course. CPR
skills are not included. |
When Help is
Delayed is for those away from medical help
for longer than 30 minutes and when taken is another Level II
First Aid course for Girl Scout purposes.
CPR courses also vary:
Community CPR
deals with: an infant from 0 to 1 year; a child 1 to age 8,
an adult those over age 8.
Adult CPR those over age 8.
Child CPR children 1-8 years of age
The AED is the module that deals with the Automated
External Defibrillators or “paddles” as they are
commonly referred to, which are used to help restart a heart.
CPR/AED for the Professional
Rescuer is the course for those individuals
who have a duty to respond to emergencies, i.e. lifeguards,
EMT’s, paramedics, RN’s, etc., and includes infant,
child, adult and AED skills. |
