Emergency First Aid has been written to support all one-day first aid courses. Each chapter is packed with the most up-to-date guidance on a wide range of first aid emergencies and has been written to appeal to all students undertaking first aid training. The text includes: coverage of the 2005 Resuscitation Guidelines; current information on injuries and illnesses; skill drills that offer step-by-step explanations and visual summaries of important skills; flowcharts that reinforce the decision-making process and appropriate procedures; and decision tables that provide a concise summary of what signs first aiders should look for and what treatment steps they should take.
