First Aid
1655-Lek11PPOM-J
The aim of the lectures is to strengthen and expand the students’ knowledge beyond the area of basic first aid. This includes proper procedures in cases of various health-related or life-threatening situations, including the utilization of basic life support (BLS). Lectures also present information regarding the proper use of selected medical equipment.
The goals of the tutorials are for the students to acquire the basic medical skills required to properly care for victims in various health-threatening situations. These include: internal medicine emergencies, trauma-related emergencies, and environmental emergencies. Additionally, during tutorials students learn to practice basic life support skills and the proper use of selected medical equipment.
