First Aid Course (PADI EFR) from Sandos Caracol

Your Most Professional Dive Emergency First Aid Course

Open to both divers and non-divers, the Emergency First Response (EFR) training focuses on building confidence in lay rescuers and increasing their willingness to respond to medical emergencies.

Over two days, with the support of self-learning manuals and videos, you will complete EFR courses that teach the essential skills needed for primary and secondary care, as well as child care with CPR and AED (Automated External Defibrillator - optional).

EFR Courses Follow Internationally Recognized Medical Guidelines for Emergency Care:

Primary Care (CPR)

You will learn the steps and techniques to handle life-threatening emergencies.
You'll practice eight critical skills to assist patients who:

• Are not breathing

• Have no heartbeat

• May have a spinal injury

• Could be in shock

• Are suffering from severe bleeding

You will learn how to perform CPR and continue monitoring the patient to maximize their chances of survival while waiting for emergency medical services (EMS) to arrive.

Secondary Care (First Aid)

Since many medical conditions are not life-threatening, and EMS may sometimes be delayed or unavailable, this section teaches first aid techniques to:

• Relieve pain

• Reduce the risk of further injury

This section is ideal for:

• People who work with children
