Paediatric First Aid Annual Refresher (VTQ) Training Videos

Welcome to your Paediatric First Aid Annual Refresher course. To begin, we will explain how the course works, and what to expect during your training, before we look at some of the common fears of first aid and what to do when an accident takes place, including activating the E.M.S and the Chain of Survival. You will learn how to conduct an initial assessment, and how to place a casualty into the recovery position.

In this section, you will learn the procedures for Adult, Child, and Infant CPR, how to know when to call for assistance and, about seizures, cardiac arrest, and drowning. This section includes tips on how to improve your compressions and breaths and performing CPR in the current climate with Coronavirus and Covid-19.

In this section, we cover choking in infants, children, older children, and adults. We look at how to recognise the signs of choking, and how to deal with and treat someone who is choking.

In this section, you will learn about the different types of bleeding, and how to treat and manage these. We cover serious bleeding, excessing bleeding, and embedded objects. You will learn about minor injuries, such as minor cuts and blisters, nose bleeds, and also other types of injury which may occur. Finally, we look at the healing process and the duration in which the body starts to repair the injuries we have talked about throughout.

In this section we look at secondary care and dealing with illness and injury which can still be life-threatening but where you usually have more time to act. You will learn how to treat and manage certain illnesses and injuries you may encounter, and when you may need to contact the Emergency Services.

In the summary, you will find important information on how to complete your final test and print your certificate of completion, and access other course resources.
