Long term travel and first aid knowledge

Upvote:4

Look for BLS (Basic Life Support). Depending on the course or the country, it usually provides enough knowledge to deal with a few medical emergency conditions including:

  • Heart attacks and breathing problems (CPR)
  • Choking.
  • Drowning.
  • Bleeding.
  • Allergies.

I am qualified for that and I feel that this is very important, especially when I am with my family and not only when I travel. In some countries the red cross or the equivalent provides such courses for free.

Also, you can read that stuff in the internet, but nothing beats practicing CPR on dummies, you can't learn that by reading only.
