Online Paediatric First Aid Training Level 3

Paediatric First Aid is the specialised form of first aid that focuses on providing immediate care to infants, children, and babies who are injured or suddenly become ill.  It is crucial for parents, caregivers, teachers, and anyone who frequently interacts with children to have knowledge and skills in paediatric first aid to ensure the safety and well-being of young individuals.  This online first aid training course covers everything you need.

Paediatric First Aid involves a set of principles and techniques tailored to the unique needs and vulnerabilities of children.  The primary objectives are to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, and promote recovery.

Here are some key aspects of this online paediatric first aid training Level 3 course:

1. Assessing the situation:  The first step is to evaluate the scene for any potential dangers and identify the nature of the emergency.  This helps ensure personal safety and appropriate action.
2. CPR and basic life support:  Paediatric CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) techniques differ slightly from those used for adults.  It involves providing chest compressions and rescue breaths to a child or infant in cardiac arrest.
3. Choking:  Young children are prone to choking on small objects or food.  Knowing how to perform back blows and abdominal thrusts can save a child’s life in such situations.
4. Bleeding and wound care:  Learning how to control bleeding through direct pressure, elevating injured limbs, and applying appropriate dressings is essential.  Special attention should be given to recognising signs of severe bleeding and responding promptly.
5. Fractures and sprains:  Understanding how to immobilize an injured limb and provide comfort while waiting for medical help is crucial.  Knowledge of basic splinting techniques can be invaluable.
6. Allergic reactions and anaphylaxis:  Recognising signs of allergic reactions, such as difficulty breathing, swelling, and rash, and administering emergency medication like epinephrine (EpiPen) is important.
7. Burns and scalds:  Understanding how to cool and manage burns and scalds, including knowing when to seek medical assistance, is essential.
8. Seizures, fever, and febrile convulsions:  Knowing how to support a child experiencing a seizure and what actions to take during febrile convulsions or high fever is critical.
9. Poisoning and ingestion of harmful substances:  Recognising signs of poisoning and understanding appropriate steps, such as calling emergency services and administering first aid, can save lives.
10. Asthma attacks and other respiratory emergencies: Recognising symptoms, administering prescribed medication like inhalers, and assisting with emergency inhalation devices are important skills to possess.
