First aid course for those responsible for children – Vital First Aid for Children 0-8 years

Why is First Aid for Children 0-8 Years Important?

As a daycare worker, it is important to know that professional medical help is not always immediately available. Early intervention can save lives, especially when it comes to children. When children are in danger, the action taken in the first few minutes can be crucial to their survival.

Our courses cover:

  • CPR on children : Lifesaving with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on children 0-8 years old.
  • Foreign body in airways : How to manage choking and airway obstruction in young children.
  • Emergency Medicine for Daycare Workers : How to handle serious medical emergencies such as poisoning, severe allergic reactions, and seizures.

Early intervention, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in children, can more than double the chance of survival in critical situations.
