The ASHI ESSENTIALS in Basic Emergency Care program is designed to arm laypersons with the minimum knowledge and skills necessary to provide emergency care for injury or sudden illness during the brief interval between the incident and EMS/911 arrival. The program includes 4 modules:
Module 1:
Emergency Action Steps Module 2: Basic Life Support
Module 3: Bloodborne Pathogens Module 4: Basic First Aid As is indicated by the title, only "essential" information is covered in this program. Essentials in Basic Emergency Care will not overwhelm students or cloud key objectives. Too often, more information is provided than what is actually needed. This can contribute to confusion in an emergency when it is critical to recall basic lifesaving steps. If the student is ready and desires additional information, he is encouraged to proceed to the other ASHI courses offered below. |

These courses include Scuba Lifesaving and Rescue Management (SLAM) and DAN Oxygen Provider Course. Although it is technically not a medical emergency course, divers should also be certified to use Nitrox, or oxygen enriched air, to provide a margin of safety in helping to avoid decompression sickness injuries. |
