First Aid, CPR, AED Training / Health and Safety offered by American Red Cross South Puget Sound and Olympics Chapter Thurston/Mason Counties

Provides lifesaving training in First Aid and CPR. Also offers Automated External Defibrillator (AED) classes. Other classes include Babysitter's Training and HIV/AIDS prevention education.

Programs that offer classes which teach child care providers, babysitters, parents, grandparents, teachers and others who supervise children to recognize and care for cardiac and breathing emergencies common to infants and children, usually from birth to age 12. Participants are taught to prioritize care in an emergency involving more than one victim, protect themselves from disease transmission by taking precautions while giving care, clear an airway obstruction in a child who is choking, give rescue breathing and administer care in cardiac emergencies using CPR. Some classes also include basic first aid and/or the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) with infants and children.

Infant/Child CPR Instruction

Programs that provide training for emergency medical technicians and others in the use of an automated external defibrillator, a small device that delivers electric current to the heart through adhesive pads that are placed on the chest of someone who is in cardiac arrest as a means of restoring a pulse.

Automated External Defibrillator Training

Programs that provide opportunities for young people to learn the basic skills and emergency procedures that are required for the care of infants and small children. Some programs provide certificates for individuals who successfully complete the course.

Babysitting Instruction

Programs that provide instruction that covers a range of basic paramedical techniques (such as controlling bleeding, preventing shock, rigging emergency splints/wraps for bone breaks/sprains) that can be used to provide basic emergency treatment for individuals who are sick or have been injured before professional medical attention is available. Also included is instruction in treating minor injuries such as insect bites, scratches, burns and splinters that normally do not require medical care.

General First Aid Instruction

Programs that instruct the public in the appropriate techniques for prolonging the lives of victims of heart failure until emergency medical care can be provided. Included may be instruction in full CPR which combines rescue breaths with chest compressions (the best option in some emergencies, including those involving infants and children, drowning victims or people who collapse due to breathing problems) and/or hands only CPR which involves chest compressions only, no mouth to mouth contact. Hands only CPR is used in emergencies where someone suffers sudden cardiac arrest.

CPR Instruction

Programs that provide training for pet owners that focuses on cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques and other emergency procedures that have been adapted for use with animals and can save a pet's life prior to the availability of professional treatment.
