First Responder
Lifesaving skills in the first responder course include recognizing unsafe scenarios and
hazardous materials emergencies, protection from blood borne pathogens, controlling
bleeding, applying splints, conducting a primary life-saving patient assessment, in-line
spinal stabilization and transport, and calling for more advanced medical help. First
Responders can serve as secondary providers with some volunteer EMS services. A
certified first responder can be seen either as an advanced first aid provider, or as a
limited provider of emergency medical care when more advanced providers are not yet
on scene or available.
