Marianne Mogensen, physiotherapist and first aid instructor, teaches this English-language course on how to help a baby or child in an emergency. The focus is on preventing everyday accidents and being prepared for those that happen anyway.
The programme covers the four steps of first aid, checking consciousness and breathing, CPR for babies and children, the recovery position, using an AED, and preventing and treating choking. Much of the time is spent practising in small groups with special junior and baby CPR manikins. Shorter lecture-style sections cover signs of serious infection, falls, burns and corrosive injuries, poisoning, and fever cramps.
