ScotShot LLC - USCCA Emergency First Aid.
This is a USCCA accredited and certificated course.


WHAT THIS COURSE IS FOR
This course is designed to introduce non-medical personnel to advanced first-aid techniques that can be applied to serious injuries and events that may occur on the firing range, but more likely in the home, garden, or motor vehicle accidents. The broad purpose is to give people the skills necessary to stabilize an injured person until trained medical responders arrive. The class is suitable for adults and accompanied children aged 14 and above.



WHAT THIS COURSE CONTAINS
The course is conducted in the classroom. It is designed to enable motivated individuals to efficiently offer relevant First Aid until emergency personnel arrive. The class addresses four key elements of emergency first aid: Patient Assessment, Traumatic Emergencies, Medical Emergencies, and Emergency First Aid Kits.

Participants learn the importance of an initial assessment of the patient and situation, and identifying major threats to life. These may include head or spinal injuries, impaired breathing, major bleeding, and secondary assessments. Common severe traumatic injuries such as arterial bleeding, chest wounds, deep or widespread cuts, breaks to the pelvis or upper leg, and severe burns are considered. Medical emergencies such as heart attack, anaphylaxis, hypothermia and heat-stroke, are also discussed, as is building emergency first-aid kits of varying degrees of complexity. Practical exercises such as how to apply a tourniquet, splint a fracture, and pack a wound, are included.

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING
This is a beginner-level course, designed specifically for people who wish to gain insight to immediate first-aid. You should bring note-taking material, and a light lunch. Most importantly, you should bring a positive, safety-orientated attitude, and a willingness to learn about what you can do to help someone in an emergency.
