Rapid and proper first aid treatment significantly increases survival chances and can often play a decisive role in a person’s life.

Early recognition of critical condition symptoms and implementation of modern aid standards can preserve life and minimize the severity of consequences.
During our lecture, participants will master skills for recognizing primary life-threatening conditions and learn to effectively apply basic first aid algorithms. Widespread implementation of modern standards substantially improves survival probabilities for victims of accidents, traumas, wounds, injuries, poisonings, and other critical conditions endangering life and health. After the lecture, attendees will be able to refresh and strengthen key competencies in emergency care provision.
The lecture will cover the following critical conditions: loss of consciousness, respiratory and/or circulatory arrest, airway obstruction due to foreign object entry, as well as other life- and health-threatening respiratory disorders.
