Book excerpt: Divided into three parts, this comprehensive, easy-to-follow guide begins with basic safety guidelines in Part One. As accidents are the leading cause of injury among young children, checklists for every area in and around your home are provided to prevent common mishaps. Suggestions such as maintaining a well-stocked home health kit, posting emergency telephone numbers, and appointing a designated surrogate are offered to help you act quickly and effectively in a crisis situation. Part Two presents illustrated, easy-to-follow, basic life-saving techniques and procedures. This practical section provides steps for initiating cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), guidelines for performing first aid for choking, techniques for immobilizing broken bones, and more. Part Three includes an A-to-Z listing of the most common emergency situations. Each entry begins with an explanation of the problem, followed by an emergency treatment procedure. For cases in which an emergency situation may not be obvious - such as bouts of excessive nausea or diarrhea - information on when to call the doctor is provided. Depending on the nature of the emergency, many entries also include prevention tips and general recommendations that include follow-up care. While no parent can avoid all emergency situations, it is reassuring that you can do much to safeguard your child, and to act swiftly and effectively should an emergency occur. Timely, clear, concise, and packed with life-saving information, A Parent's Guide to Medical Emergencies, is a must for any responsible person who cares for a child on a regular basis.

You need to learn how to give critical aid that keeps your charge stable until professional help arrives. You need to know how to get responders to your charge quickly and be as helpful to them as you can while they are there.

That includes learning from the experience so you can improve what you know and better handle things the next time.
