Training, Training, Training
To find out what simple actions people on crash scenes can take to be as useful as they can be without any formal training, I turned to the expertise of Chair of the Board of Directors for International Trauma Life Support (ITLS) and former motorcycle paramedic in the U.K., Anthony Connelly.
– RIDEAPART
In his opinion, the very first thing any rider should consider doing is get some sort of First Aid training. Learning the basics of emergency care can make a world of difference in how you approach a crash scene. That being said, whether you receive training or not, you can still help.
This is also when carrying a First Aid kit on your bike comes in handy. This allows you to keep a few necessities with you at all times including gloves and foil blankets. You can easily find motorcycle-friendly kits online—I highly recommend you get one.
BLS and Resuscitation Training for EMTs
The American Red Cross focuses on providing Basic Life Support (BLS) training and resuscitation education that support EMT or Paramedic certification programs. Individuals should contact their local EMS agency or EMS training program to become a first responder. Through our updated r.25 BLS courses, healthcare clinicians like EMTs can stay current with CPR, AED and Basic Life Support skills for adult and pediatric patients. These evidence-based courses include updated materials, current scientific guidelines, practical teaching tools and opportunities for Continuing Education (CE) credit.
