Emergency Response &
CPR for the
Professional Rescuer
When there is a medical emergency, the delivery of
fast, accurate care to the patient is critical. In many instances this
means the difference between life and death. First Responders, those
individuals on the scene before the ambulance or medical professionals
arrive, make the difference.
First Responders, the frontline in Patient Care,
are viewed by the community as trained and ready to serve, act, and
protect. These people are typically first on scene of any emergency
situation making the first contact, before the arrival of the ambulance.
The First Responder relies heavily on learning and maintaining the
hands- on skills to perform basic emergency care without hesitation or
mistakes.
