Training Objectives

Recognize signs of anaphylaxis and provide emergency care for stings

Perform the Heimlich maneuver and assist victims with breathing issues

Course Overview

Respiratory emergencies and severe allergic reactions require immediate intervention to prevent total airway obstruction.

This course covers how to respond to various breathing problems, from asthma attacks and hyperventilation to the sudden onset of anaphylaxis caused by bites or stings. You will learn the critical "red flags" of an allergic reaction, such as swelling and difficulty breathing, and the importance of professional medical follow-up. We also provide step-by-step guidance on performing the abdominal thrust (Heimlich) maneuver for a choking victim. Whether the cause is a physical blockage or a biological reaction, this training prepares you to keep a victim’s airway clear and maintain their breathing until help arrives.

No Worries. Here's Some Helpful Info.

If the person can speak or is coughing forcefully, do not perform abdominal thrusts. Encourage them to keep coughing to clear the object themselves. Only intervene if they cannot breathe, cough, or speak.

A normal reaction involves localized pain and swelling. Anaphylaxis is life-threatening and involves symptoms away from the sting site, such as hives, swelling of the tongue or throat, and difficulty breathing.

Carefully lower them to the floor, call 911, and begin CPR. Each time you open the airway to give breaths, look for the object and remove it if it is easily reachable.

No. Using tweezers can squeeze more venom into the victim. Instead, use a flat object like a credit card to scrape the stinger away from the skin.

Remain calm and encourage the victim to breathe slowly. Have them breathe through pursed lips (as if whistling) or into their cupped hands to help regulate their carbon dioxide levels.
