PADI Emergency First Response (EFR) Course Phuket - Do you know what to do in a medical emergency? Take a moment to try and picture the following scenarios:

• A child is playing on the beach, and is hit by a falling coconut.
• A Japanese tourist is pulled unconscious from heavy surf at Kata Beach
• A tuk-tuk crashes in Phuket, badly injuring the passengers and driver.
• A diver surfaces from a dive and complains of tingling fingers and nausea.
  

What would you do? How would you act if you were in one of these situations and there was no one else there to help? Someone's life could be in your hands! Accidents and illnesses are a part in everyday life in Thailand and at home. By learning the simple skills in both the Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (First Aid) Courses, you can give vital emergency care to those in need and be an Emergency Responder.

• Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR)
• Emergency First Response Secondary Care (First Aid)

Please note, these courses might be taught together or separately by your EFR Instructor.

In EFR Primary Care you will learn and practice the following skills:

• Scene Assessment
• Barrier Use
• Primary Assessment
• Rescue Breathing
• One Rescuer, Adult CPR
• Serious Bleeding Management
• Shock Management
• Spinal Injury Management
  

There are also a further three recommended (but not compulsory) skills:

• Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Use
• Conscious Choking Adult
• Emergency Oxygen Use

You will also learn how to apply the ABCD'S of the circle of care, to maintain a persons life who is suffering with a life-threatening condition. You can provide the patient with every possible chance of survival.

In EFR Secondary Care you will learn about the following skills:

• Injury Assessment
• Illness Assessment
• Bandaging
• Splinting for Dislocations and Fractures

You will also learn to apply the ABCD'S, that you first learnt about in the Emergency First Respond Primary Care Course, to assure there is no looming threat to the patients life - while providing care that offers encouragement, relieves pain and reduces the risk of any further harm.

The Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care Courses are structured into the following three areas:

Independent Study

• Through independent study you will learn about the eight skills of Primary Care and the four skills of Secondary Care. For both courses, you will start off by reading the Independent Study portion of your Emergency First Response Participant manual. At the end of these independent study sections, you will find one knowledge review for each course. You will then need to complete both of these simple knowledge reviews, as well as watch the Emergency First Response video ahead of class.

• During the skill development session you will get a chance to practice these skills under guidance from your instructor.

Scenario Practice

• When you have learnt all the required skills, you will attend to simulated emergencies organised by your Emergency First Response Instructor!
  

At the end of the course, you will have earned yourself a recognized CPR and First Aid qualification in Emergency First Response. You can be comforted that if an emergency situation should ever arrive you will know what to do.
