Course objectives: to teach participants the basic resuscitation sequence of infants and children in respiratory and/or cardiac arrest and the maneuvers to be performed in the event of airway obstruction by a foreign body.The course also provides knowledge and skills related to the use of the semi-automatic defibrillator in children in cardiopulmonary arrest.
The course manual also provides guidance on preventing the most important causes of death and serious injuries in pediatric age (sudden infant death syndrome – SIDS, poisoning, domestic, road and sports accidents).
The course is aimed at anyone who, for personal or professional reasons, may find themselves in need of assisting an infant or child.
Those who, although not belonging to the healthcare world, are frequently in contact with this age group (e.g. parents, teachers, educators, sports instructors, etc.).
The course is also suitable for all healthcare professionals who, despite frequently coming into contact with this age group, are less likely to have to manage a cardiac arrest and are less exposed to emergencies (general practitioners, dentists, medical students, lifeguards).
