First Aid Assessment Models

Step-by-step procedures for Canadian Red Cross First Aid & CPR courses in Kelowna, BC. Medi-Pro's First Aid Assessment Model and Wilderness First Aid Assessment Model supplemental handouts will provide you with simplified overviews of the steps involved with performing First Aid. The logically progressive steps and linear graphics will help simplify the principles and procedures you'll need to be familiar with when providing First Aid in an emergency. The use of an assessment model ensures that responders follow a clear, step-by-step process to evaluate the condition of the injured or ill person. This reduces the risk of overlooking important signs or symptoms. By following an assessment model, occupational first aid attendants and wilderness first aid responders can make better-informed decisions about the appropriate care or interventions needed at each stage of the emergency. In situations where multiple responders are involved, an assessment model provides a common language and approach for the team. This improves communication and ensures that everyone knows their role in delivering care. In addition, the First Aid Assessment Model and First Aid Flowchart have a visually simplified layout which makes these principles easy to find and remember at a glance. The First Aid Assessment Model is based on information provided in the Canadian Red Cross Comprehensive Guide to First Aid & CPR. The Wilderness First Aid Assessment Model is based on information provided in the Canadian Red Cross Wilderness First Aid Field Guide.
