USCCA Emergency First Aid Fundamentals
USCCA Emergency First Aid Fundamentals
Most medical emergencies — traumatic injuries, cardiac events, severe bleeding — are survivable when someone nearby knows what to do in the first few minutes. This course closes the gap between when an emergency occurs and when EMS arrives. Developed by the USCCA for the context of the armed citizen, this course focuses on the high-probability, high-stakes scenarios where immediate action matters most.
Topics covered:
- Controlling severe bleeding — tourniquets, wound packing, pressure dressings
- Recognizing and responding to shock
- CPR and AED use
- Treating chest wounds and airway compromise
- Managing a scene and communicating with incoming emergency services
Who this is for: Anyone who carries a firearm or simply wants to be capable in an emergency. The skills in this course are applicable in incidents involving firearms, vehicle accidents, falls, cardiac events, and more.
