EFR – Emergency First Response

Life is full of surprises and, unfortunately, not all of them are pleasant. We can’t avoid it. But we can prevent an emergency from turning into a tragedy. Moreover, we can change it into a reason for celebration. Here is an example. In the dining cafeteria of a corporation, an employee chokes, a piece of food blocking his airways. The intervention of someone who knows the Heimlich resuscitation maneuver is crucial. If this is applied correctly, the employee will successfully expectorate the blocker, and everything will be back to normal in just a few minutes. He will feel that it is the first day of the rest of his life, cherishing it now more than ever. If no one is trained to provide first aid, the employee’s day may even be the last. The first aid and resuscitation course make the difference between life and death. Here’s why it’s important to follow it.
