•These laws, which differ from state to state,
may protect you from legal liability as long as
you –
•Act in Good Faith
•Are not negligent
•Act within the scope of your training
•You must obtain consent to help an ill or
injured person
Obtaining Consent
•To obtain Consent –
•State your Name
•Tell the person you are trained in First Aid
•Ask the person if you can help
•Explain what you think may be wrong
•Explain what you plan to do
•If a person refuses care, at least call 911 or the local
emergency number.
•A person who is unconscious, confused or seriously
ill may not be able to grant consent. In such cases,
consent is implied.
•If the person is a minor, get consent from a parent
or guardian, if present; otherwise consent is implied.

•If you are alone, you must decide to Call First
or Care First
•Call First before giving care for –
•An unconscious adult or adolescent age 12 or
older
•A witnessed sudden collapse of a child or infant
•An unconscious infant or child known to be at a
high risk for heart problems
•Care First (give 2 minutes of care, then call 911)
•An un-witnessed collapse of an unconscious
person younger than age 12
•Any victim of a drowning
Identifying Life-Threatening Conditions
At times, you may be unsure if EMS
personnel are needed. Your first aid
training will help you make this decision.
In general you will call 911 or the local
emergency number if the person—
•Is or becomes unconscious.
•Has trouble breathing or is breathing in a
strange way.
Turn to page

book
•Has chest discomfort, pain or pressure
that persists for more than 3 to 5 minutes
or that goes away and comes back.
•Is bleeding severely.
•Has severe (critical) burns.
•Has pressure or pain in the abdomen that does not go away.
•Is vomiting blood or passing blood.
•Has a seizure that lasts more that 5 minutes or has multiple
seizures.
Identifying Life-Threatening Conditions
•Has seizure and is pregnant or is a diabetic.
•Fails to regain consciousness after a seizure.
•Has sudden severe headache or slurred speech.
•Appears to have been poisoned.
•Has injuries to the head, neck and back.
•Has possible broken bones.
Also call for any of these situations:
•Fire or explosion.
•Downed electrical wires.
•Swiftly moving or rapidly rising water.
•Presence of poisonous gas
•Motor vehicle collisions.
Emergency Action Steps
•Usually when you give first aid, you will not
face hazards that require moving the person
immediately
•Moving a person can lead to further injury.
•You should move a person only when you can
do so safely and when there is an immediate
danger.

Lesson 2-Checking an Ill or Injured Person
Objectives
•Identify the signals of shock and describe
how t minimize its effects.
•Identify life-threatening and non-lifethreatening conditions.
•Demonstrate how to check a conscious
person for life-threatening and non-lifethreatening conditions.
•Demonstrate how to check an unconscious
person for life-threatening and non-lifethreatening conditions.
Checking an Ill or Injured Person
When you reach an ill or injured person, check
first for life-threatening conditions such as
unconsciousness. In many emergencies this
will be obvious but in some situations you may
not be able to tell.
Turn to page
30-32 of
your book
If you are not sure whether someone is
unconscious, tap him or her on the shoulder
and ask if he or she is okay. Use the person’s
name if you know it.
Speak loudly!
Checking an Ill or Injured Person
If you are not sure whether and infant is
unconscious, check by flicking the bottom of
the infant’s foot and/or tapping the infant’s
shoulders and shout to see if the infant
responds.
If the person does not respond to you, assume
that he or she is unconscious. Have someone
call 911 or the local emergency number.
Checking a Conscious Adult
•For purpose of first aid care, and “adult” is defined a
someone who is about 12 years of age or older.
•After checking the scene, you should check the
adult first for life-threatening conditions.
•Some conditions may become life threatening if
not recognized and cared for early.
•Obtain consent to give care.

Ask the person—
•What is your name?
•What happened?
•Where do you feel pain or discomfort?
•Do you have any allergies?
•Do you have any medical conditions?
•Are you taking any medications?
Checking a Conscious Person
Step 5
CHECK head to toe for –
•Bleeding, fluids or wounds.
•Skin color and temperature.
•Medical ID bracelets and
necklaces.
•Observable signals of pain.
(Tip; For infants and
children, check from tow
to head. Do not separate
them from parent or
guardian.)
Step 6
Continue to monitor Airway,
Breathing and Circulation
(ABCs).
Checking a Conscious Child or Infant
•For purpose of first aid, a “child” is defined as someone
who is 1 to 12 years old (school age).
•For the use of pediatric AED equipment, a child is
someone between the ages of 1 and 8 or weighing less
than 55 pounds.
•For purposes of first aid, an “infant” is defined as
someone who is less than 1 year old.
Turn to page

•After checking the scene, you should check the child first
for life-threatening conditions.
•Some conditions may become life threatening if not
recognized and cared for early.
Checking a Conscious Child or Infant
Obtain consent to give care from parent or guardian, if
present.
•Checking the conscious child or infant from toe to head.
It is less threatening and lets the child watch and take part.
Position yourself directly in front of the child, at eye level.
•Be calm and reassuring to the child and parent or
guardian.

Recognizing and Caring for Shock
What is shock?
Turn to page
34-35 of
your book
•Shock is a life-threatening
condition in which not enough
blood is being delivered to all
parts of the body and can result
from injury or illness.
Recognizing Shock
Shock is likely to develop after any serious
injury or illness including severe bleeding,
serious internal injury, significant fluid loss or
other conditions.
•A person showing signals of shock needs
immediate medical attention.
•Body systems and organs begin to fail.
•The goals of First Aid are to get help quickly
and give care to minimize shock while caring
for the illness or injury.
Signs of Shock
•Restlessness or irritability.
•Altered level of consciousness.
•Nausea or vomiting.
•Pale, ashen, cool, moist skin.
•Rapid breathing and pulse.
•Excessive thirst.
Caring for Shock
•Call 911 or the local emergency number
immediately. Shock cannot be managed
effectively by first aid alone. A person suffering
from shock requires emergency medical care
as soon as possible.
•Have the person lie down. This is often the
most comfortable position. Help the person
rest comfortably is important because pain can
intensify the body’s stress and speed up the
progression of shock. Helping the person rest
in a more comfortable position may lessen any
pain.
Caring for Shock
•Control any external bleeding.
•Elevate the person’s legs about 12 inches,
unless you suspect head, neck or back injuries
or possible broken bones involving the hips or
legs. If you are unsure of the person’s
condition, leave him or her lying flat.
Checking an Unconscious Child or Infant
•After checking the scene and obtaining consent to give
care, you should check the child or infant first for lifethreatening conditions.
•One way to remember what to check for is “ABC” (Airway,
Breathing and Circulation).
•To find out if the heart is beating, an additional check for
signs of life includes checking for a pulse in the child or
infant.
Turn to page
32-34 of
your book
•To check for a pulse in a child you would need to feel for
a carotid pulse.
Checking an Unconscious Child or Infant
•To find the carotid pulse, place your fingers on the middle
of the throat and slide your fingers into the groove on the
neck. Feel for the pulse on the side of the child’s neck
closer to you.
•To check for a pulse in an infant, you would need to feel
for a brachial pulse.
•When checking for a brachial pulse place your index and
middle fingers on the middle of the inner arm between the
elbow and the shoulder when the arm is raised.
Checking a Unconscious Adult
Step 1
CHECK scene, then CHECK person.
Step 2
Tap shoulder and shout, “are you okay?”
Step 3
No response, CALL 911 or your local emergency number.
Step 4

•Trying to swallow large pieces of poorly chewed food
•Drinking alcohol before or during meals
•Wearing dentures
•Eating while talking excitedly or laughing, or eating to
fast
•Walking, playing or running with food or objects in the
mouth
•A person with a partial airway obstruction can still move
air to and from the lungs, so he or she can cough in
attempt to dislodge the object.
•A person with a complete airway obstruction is unable to
cough, speak or breathe.
•A person who is choking may clutch at his or her throat.
This gesture is known as the universal sign of choking.

Lesson 4-Rescue Breathing Child or Infant
Objectives
•How to recognize when a person has
stopped breathing.
•Demonstrate how to give rescue breathing.
Rescue Breathing Child
•Rescue breathing is a process of breathing air into a
child who is not breathing.
•This condition is commonly caused by injury, illness or
choking.
•When giving rescue breathing to a child, give 1 breath
every 3 seconds and check for signs of life about every
minute.
Turn to page
52-53 of

•Each rescue breath should last about 1 second. With
each breath, watch the chest clearly rise and fall.
•Continue rescue breathing as long as signs of life are
present and the child is not breathing.
Rescue Breathing Child
•It is natural to feel uncomfortable about making mouth-tomouth contact with a stranger. However, it is important to
know that the risk of disease transmission is very low
when giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
•A resuscitation mask or face shield (also known as a CPR
breathing barrier) may reduce the risk of disease
transmission between the responder and the child.
•Rescue breathing should not be delayed because you do
not have a breathing barrier or do not know how to use
one.
•Respiratory arrest, if not cared for quickly, can lead to a
cardiac emergency.
Rescue Breathing Infant

Recognizing a Heart Attack
•What is a heart attack?
•When a heart muscle is damaged from a lack of
oxygen and blood supply by either disease or trauma.
A heart attack can eventually lead to cardiac arrest, a
condition in which the heart stops functioning
altogether.

Women are somewhat more likely to experience some of
the other warning signals, particularly shortness of breath,
nausea/vomiting and back or jaw pain.

•Women also tend to delay telling others about their
signals to avoid bothering or worrying others.
Signals of a Heart Attack
•Persistent chest discomfort lasting more than 3 to 5 minutes.
•Discomfort, pain or pressure in either arm, back or stomach.
•Discomfort, pain or pressure that spreads to the shoulder, arm,
neck or jaw.
•Dizziness, lightheadedness or loss of consciousness.
•Trouble breathing, including noisy breathing, shortness of breath and
breathing that is faster than normal.

•Nausea.
•Pale or ashen-looking skin.
•Sweating—face may be moist or person may be sweating profusely.
Main Cause of a Heart Attack
Buildup of fatty materials on the inner walls of the arteries reduces
blood flow to the heart muscle and may cause a heart attack.
Cardiac Chain of Survival
•CPR alone is not enough to help someone survive a
cardiac arrest (a condition in which the heart stops
functioning altogether). Advanced medical care is
needed as soon as possible. This is why it is so
important to call 911 immediately.
•The greatest chance of survival from cardiac arrest
occurs when the following sequence of events
happens as rapidly as possible –

72-74 of
your book
•Early Recognition and Early Access
•Early CPR
•Early Defibrillation's
•Early Advanced Medical Care
Cardiac Chain of Survival
•An Automated External Defibrillated (AED) is a
device that analyzes the heart’s electrical rhythm
and, if necessary, prompts a responder to deliver a
shock using the AED to a person experiencing
sudden cardiac arrest.
•Defibrillation is an electric shock that interrupts the
heart’s chaotic electrical activity, most often
ventricular fibrillation (V-Fib), during sudden cardiac
arrest. The shock may help the heart restore its
ability to function as a pump.
Cardiac Emergencies
•CPR helps to circulate blood that contains oxygen to
the brain and vital organs when the heart stops.
•In a cardiac emergency, it is vital to call 911.

Lesson 6-CPR and Unconscious
Choking – Adult, Child or Infant
Objectives
•Demonstrate how to give CPR.
•Demonstrate how to clear an obstructed
airway or an unconscious person.
CPR Adult
•If a person is in cardiac arrest, he or she is
unconscious, not breathing and shows no other
signs of life.
•Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can help
circulate blood that contains oxygen to vital
organs by a combination of chest
compressions and rescue breaths.
Turn to page
74-76 of
your book
Unconscious Choking Adult
•If you attempt rescue breathing but are unable to make
the chest clearly rise, you must act quickly to get air into
the person. Care for an unconscious choking adult is very
similar to the skill of adult CPR, with the exception that you
look for a foreign object between compressions and
breaths. Chest compressions are used to help force air
from the person’s lungs to dislodge the object.

•As discussed earlier, unlike adults, children seldom
initially suffer a cardiac emergency. Instead, they suffer a
respiratory emergency that develops into a cardiac
emergency.
•Motor vehicle crashes, drowning, smoke inhalation,
poisoning, airway obstruction, firearm injuries and falls are
all common causes of respiratory emergencies. That can
develop into a cardiac emergency.
•A cardiac emergency can also result from an acute
respiratory condition, such as a severe asthma attack.
Less commonly, a cardiac emergency may occur due to
congenital heart disease or from blunt impact to the chest
(such as Commotio Cordis).
CPR Child
•If a child is in cardiac arrest, he or she is unconscious, not
breathing and shows no signs of life. CPR can help
circulate blood that contains oxygen to vital organs. CPR
is a combination of chest compressions and rescue
breaths.
Unconscious Choking Child
•If you attempt rescue breaths but are unable to make the
chest clearly rise, you must act quickly to get air into the
child. Care for an unconscious choking child is very
similar to the skill of child CPR, with the exception that you
look for a foreign object between compressions and
breaths. Chest compressions are used to help force air
from the child’s lungs to dislodge the object.
