This manual, based off of recommendations from the American Heart Association (AHA), teaches the basics of life support when/if one encounters someone in a life emergency. It intends to reach an audience of healthcare providers. It covers CPR, defibrillator (AED) use, rescue breathing, choking-rescue techniques, and naloxone administration for opioid-associated events.
The AHA and Red Cross administer trainings with this material. This is the standard for life-supporting rescue and first aid. They also have a course available for non-healthcare providers. The manual comes with well-organized chapters, replete with color diagrams and charts.
Current research literature informs this work’s content. A separate publication describes how the guidelines have evolved since the 2010 manual. The AHA updates its material every five years, so we should expect a revision soon in 2020/2021. This course is usually mandatory for all those in a healthcare setting. I had to take it before my first year of medical school. It’s helpful to know the key terms and to give some thought about what to do when a crisis occurs.
