First Aid is a critical skill involving emergency medical procedures that can be used to provide immediate assistance to those suffering from sudden illness or injury. Coursera's First Aid catalogue teaches you these lifesaving skills, which are crucial in both common and extreme situations. You'll learn how to assess a situation quickly and safely, provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), handle wounds and injuries, and manage serious conditions like choking, shock, and poisoning. Additionally, you'll also gain knowledge on how to use first aid kits effectively, administer emergency treatments, and understand the importance of medical help untill professional help arrives. This skill is essential for everyone, from parents and teachers to professionals in high-risk environments.
