What You’ll Learn
Someday you may find yourself in a life or death medical situation. You or a loved one may need IMMEDIATE help in dealing with a severe trauma wound or shut down of body functions. Perhaps 911 is too far away, perhaps they cannot be relied on at all.

In Survive and Thrive: Emergency Trauma Care, we will cover the following topics to help you survive in that situation:

  • Stabilizing physical traumas: Gunshots and stabs, amputations, stopping blood loss, setting breaks in bones
  • Proper suturing techniques and materials to use or improvise with
  • Wound care: starting the healing process along without doing more damage
  • One and two person methods for moving wounded victims
  • CPR and removing breathing blockages for adults and children, note: you will receive Red Cross training but will not be certified on paper

This will be a very hands on session. You will be able to practice what you learn there and then. Bring friends and family. It is free for all.

If you have any other questions, feel free to call me at (215) 868-4743.

About Your Teacher
Fernando Salguero · WOLFSERPENTCROWRAT
During Survive and Thrive: Emergency Trauma Care, we are fortunate to have Barb, one of our founding members and a critical care R.N., on hand to teach us some important basics for getting a grip during a bad situation.

Our Survive and Thrive group has many doctors, nurses, EMTs, pharmacists, cops, military and even a firefighter in our membership. That said, Barb has done a FANTASTIC job of teaching these valuable bits of life saving information to our group for years now. Her manner and tone make the presentation easy to follow and absorb.
