ALHE 1200 — Responding to Emergencies
| Lecture This course prepares the student to assess and make appropriate decisions regarding first aid care in accidents and sudden emergencies. Upon successful completion, the student will receive American Red Cross certi fication in Responding to Emergencies including Adult/Child/Infant CPR and AED. The Responding to Emergencies (RTE) program is a lay responder program designed to help participants recognize and respond to cardiac, breathing and first aid emergencies. Th e courses in this program teach the knowledge and skills needed to give immediate care to an injured or ill person and to decide whether advanced medical care is needed. This program is designed primarily for use in secondary schools, colleges, universit ies and other settings that require a curriculum of greater length than the American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/ AED program. With the additional course length, RTE provides more in -depth lecture and discussion content as well as extended time for skill activ ities such as giving CPR and using an AED.
