This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to provide an advanced first aid response to a casualty in line with first aid guidelines determined by the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and other Australian national peak clinical bodies.

The unit applies to all persons who may be required to provide an advanced first aid response in a range of situations, including community and workplace settings.

Successful completion of this course will provide trainees with the knowledge and skills to be able to provide advanced first aid in the work place. It provides background knowledge of the causes, symptoms and the effects of injuries, as well as emergency treatment

More information can be found at www.training.gov

For this unit, there are both written and practical tasks to complete.

A brief overview of the practical tasks are:

• • managed, in line with ARC guidelines, the unconscious, breathing casualty including appropriate positioning to reduce the risk of airway compromise
  • managed in line with ARC guidelines, the unconscious, non-breathing adult including:
    • performing at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (5 cycles of both compressions and ventilations) on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor
    • performing at least 2 minutes of ventilation and at least 2 minutes of compression during a two-rescuer procedure on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor
    • following the prompts of an automated external defibrillator (AED) to deliver at least one shock
    • responding appropriately in the event of regurgitation or vomiting
    • demonstrating a rotation of operators with minimal interruptions to compressions
