The Triangle of Life part 1 (Video)2:31
The “Triangle of Life” is a schematic diagram that presents the three main systems of the human body:

The Nervous System Part 1 (Video)3:22
The nervous system includes the brain and all the nerves in the human body. Its main function is to regulate all our actions – voluntary and involuntary.

Nervous System
Respiratory System Part 1 (Video)4:05
The respiratory system is the system responsible for the exchange of gases in our bodies. As mentioned above, the system is responsible for bringing air into the bloodstream and the various organs of the body, and emitting unnecessary gases from the body such as carbon dioxide (CO2).
In greater detail, the respiratory system has two roles:
Ventilation – lets in oxygen-saturated air from the external environment into the lungs, and the removal of CO2-saturated air from the lungs out into the external environment.
Exchange of gases – ontroduction of oxygen from the lungs into the blood, and the removal of CO2 from the blood to the lungs.

Description

This course provides knowledge on how to perform basic life saving treatment to people without a medical background. There are many scenarios that may occur in one’s life time that will require emergency medical interventions. This course provides you with the skills and knowledge to engage in life-saving interventions if there are no qualified medical professionals in the vicinity.

This course starts by covering foundational aspects of emergency medical interventions, such as, a first aid introduction and basic anatomy and pathophysiology. This foundation is vital as it builds one’s knowledge and confidence when placed in a situation where life-saving medical intervention is necessary. By understanding what malfunctioned in the body and how the learned interventions can help alleviate or fix the problem.

Once the course leaders are confident in your understanding of the foundation they will begin to explain and demonstrate all the steps of emergency Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). This part of the course will ensure that you understand and can successfully perform each step.

At this point within the course, one will understand basic anatomy and physiology related to emergency interventions and will be competent in performing CPR. Next, the instructor will review the different medical emergencies that may occur, and the treatment that an unlicensed clinician can provide.

In addition, this course will cover Traumatic Injuries and how to treat them. The instructor will discuss how to approach each patient, the correct chronological steps of interventions, and the specific interventions for different injuries.

When you are finished this course, you will no longer be worried about not knowing what to do in the event of a medical emergency.

Who this course is for:

Anyone who wants to be able to provide life saving treatment to those around them.
