Emergency
First Response Care
for Children Course
 The Emergency First Response
Care for Children course is an innovative CPR, AED and First Aid
training course that teaches participants how to provide emergency
care for injured or ill children (ages one to eight) and infants
less than one year old. Participants learn about the types of
medical emergencies that children face, and how they differ from
adult conditions. The curriculum also includes the importance of
attending to basic emergency situations with children, the emotional
aspects of caring for children, secondary care for children, and
preventing common injuries and illnesses in children.
Emergency First Response Care for Children course trains the lay
rescuer to follow the same priorities of care used by medical
professionals. The student masters the priorities and the procedures
of patient care for infants and children in a non-stressful learning
environment, which reduces the performance anxieties that interfere
with learning and enhances confidence when rendering aid in a real
medical emergency.
The course includes both primary care (CPR) and secondary care
(first aid) skills. The primary care portion of the course prepares
the rescuer to render aid to an infant or child with a
life-threatening emergency such as choking or cardiac arrest.
Secondary care focuses on developing secondary patient care skills
and building the rescuer's confidence to render first aid to an
infant or child in need when emergency medical services are either
delayed or unavailable. The Care for Children course content is
based on guidelines from the Pediatric Working Group of ILCOR.
