"'It is our pleasure to participate in the 2011 Mommybites Summit. We understand the worry associated with childhood medical emergencies, have created a way to stop the anxiety, and are passionate about sharing it with other parents," said MEDBASICS® CEO, Tara Summers-Hermann, RN, BSN.
So how does a book stop parental anxiety? It's about preparation and portability. The Baby MEDBASICS® book is an active part of a baby's life. According to the authors, this book was not created to sit on a shelf with baby reference books. It is small, lightweight, fits in any diaper bag, and goes everywhere baby goes because accidents don't just happen at home. It is also available as an app for the iPhone and iPad. "It's kind of like having a doctor and nurse with you wherever you go," explained Tara. "A lot of parents believe that during a medical emergency, calling 911 is all they need to do.
Although it clearly is a crucial step in emergency response, your response as a parent or caregiver can not stop there. The average ambulance response time is eight minutes. Brain damage from lack of oxygen begins in as little as four minutes and death shortly after. You simply can not wait for someone else to provide the immediate emergency care your child needs. You are your child's first responder and MEDBASICS® is there to help you respond reliably until medical help arrives."
Luke Hermann, MD, and Tara Summers-Hermann, RN, BSN, took great care in converting "medical speak" into simple instructions, illustrations and easy to follow action pathways creating the essential emergency guide that is there for parents and caregivers whenever, wherever and if ever they need it. In the non-emergent times, parents and caregivers have peace of mind knowing they don't have to worry about whether or not they will remember what to do. And according to Dr. Hermann, they won't remember everything. "Statistics show us that over 80 percent of people who learn CPR do not remember how to give CPR when retested less than six months after taking the course. We absolutely recommend parents and caregivers take a CPR course but we also know their best chance for a reliable response is a CPR course + MEDBASICS®."

According to PPG President, Niki Tudge, “Everyone can benefit from learning some basic first aid. Our new program is very comprehensive and extensive enough for pet industry professionals who need first aid skills in their business and career but it is equally appropriate for pet owners who want to be prepared for emergencies.” The American Red Cross and the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) recommend that all pet owners learn pet first aid skills to help keep their animals safe and healthy. Pet owners and professionals that are trained in pet first aid measures and proper life saving techniques are better prepared to handle routine and life threatening emergencies when they occur.
To qualify for the PPG’s pet first aid certification, applicants must attend a 3-hour online program, pass a rigorous written examination and submit four videos to PPG to demonstrate understanding of the material and competence of practical first aid skills. Tudge says, “Our PPG First Aid Program has been developed by a Certified Veterinary Technician in accordance with American Veterinary Medical Association’s (AVMA) guidelines and teaches the basic skills and procedures that may possibly save a pet’s life by giving you the knowledge to provide basic treatment to a sick or injured animal until professional vet help is available.” The AVMA reminds pet owners and professionals that first aid is not a substitute for veterinary care but it may save a pet's life until veterinary treatment is available.
The PPG plans to offer a growing number of programs based on their “force-free” philosophy of pet training and pet care. Tudge says, “As pet ownership continues to increase and the activities that owners enjoy with their pets grow, knowing basic first aid skills is more critical for owners and industry professionals. We believe that the pet-owning public needs trusted educational resources based on the PPG’s guiding principles. We clearly define our philosophy, methods and techniques our members use so the public can be confident that any Guild member will provide services in accordance with our stated philosophy and guidelines. The public can be assured that only force-free methods will be employed training and caring for their pets.” For more information on PPG courses and force-free training and pet care, visit http://www.PetProfessionalGuild.com.

For them and anyone else suffering from a bleeding injury, WoundSeal offers a unique and clinically proven solution: the ability to stop bleeding instantly while protecting the wound with an instant scab.” For more information on WoundSeal – such as specific locations, clinical studies and customer testimonials – visit www.woundseal.com.

First Aid & Safety of Texas has committed to participate in National Preparedness Month (NPM) in September, an event founded after 9/11 to increase preparedness in the U.S. The event, now in its eighth year, is a nationwide, month-long effort hosted by the Ready Campaign and Citizen Corps, encouraging households, businesses and communities to prepare and plan for emergencies.
First Aid & Safety of Texas is participating this year by offering American Heart Association training courses, including CPR. One of NPM’s key messages is: be prepared in the event an emergency causes you to be self-reliant for three days without utilities and electricity, water service, access to a supermarket or local services, or maybe even without response from police, fire or rescue. Preparing can start with three important steps:
1. Get an emergency supply kit
2. Make a plan for what to do in an emergency
3. Be informed about emergencies that could happen in your community, and identify sources of information in your community that will be helpful before, during and after an emergency.
Preparedness is a shared responsibility; it takes a whole community. This year’s National Preparedness Month focuses on turning awareness into action by encouraging all individuals and all communities nationwide to make an emergency preparedness plan. Preparedness information and events will be posted to Ready.gov.
First Aid & Safety of Texas offers first aid, CPR and other courses throughout National Preparedness Month and throughout the year. “Medical emergencies can strike anyone, anywhere - and when they do, a victim's chance of survival depends on the people around them. That could mean you”, says Fran Riggs, owner of First Aid & Safety of Texas.
This is the first year First Aid & Safety of Texas has participated in NPM. For more information about the Ready Campaign and National Preparedness Month, visit Ready.gov or call 11-800-BE-READY, 1-888-SE-LISTO, and TTY 1-800-462-7585

This special Collector's Edition includes an Amazon.com exclusive laser cell, bonus maps, collector's art book, and other rare content.
An Epic Story
This fast-paced third person shooter takes you across the vast and frozen landscapes of E.D.N. III. The ability to fight stealthily on-foot or from within heavily armored Vital Suits offers two unique modes of gameplay. While on foot, use the zip line to get up to strategic enemy-annihilating vantage point and discover unexplored areas and weapons. Or, jump into your own Vital Suit or hijack an enemy Snow Pirate's Vital Suit to go head to head with enormous and more powerful Akrid foes.
Lost Planet's highly anticipated multiplayer mode lets gamers participate in heated online matches in stages such as "Pirate Fortress" with support for up to 16 players via the Xbox Live¨ online game service. Players are able to select from multiple weapons, unique robotic assault vehicles and play modes including Elimination, Team Elimination, Post Grab and Fugitive.
A Suit of Destruction
Vital Suits (or VS) are machinery specially developed to suit the extreme conditions on E.D.N. III and replace heavy working equipment brought over from Earth at the beginning of colonization. VS are equipped with a power output device that allows them to utilize Thermal Energy collected from the Akrid without any processing. They are equipped with a variety of weaponry and high mobility in order to battle the Akrid, but they can be especially deadly to humans as well.
Different VS allow the player to perform different maneuvers. The basic GT-01 was originally created to assist with aid efforts at the start of colonization. As a result, it is limited in its expandability and armor. Conversely, the GTF-11 was the first VS to be equipped with an advanced posture control system originally designed for space fighters. This allows the GTF-11 to be outfitted with flight propulsion, and as a result it has been heavily used in the current colonization effort.
An Alien Horde
Indigenous creatures to the planet, Akrid have adapted to the extremely low temperatures. All Akrid possess the ability to extract a rare mineral from the frozen ground and chemically convert it inside themselves into "Thermal Energy" and use it as their energy source. Humans discovered the Thermal Energy inside the Akrid and fight them over the valuable resource in order to survive the deadly cold.
A number of different Akrid ply the vast snow fields of E.D.N. Chryatis, for example, is extremely aggressive and has heightened senses. Upon sensing thermal energy that it traces from any living being other than another Akrid, it immediately attacks the source as a threat that must be eradicated. Once in attack mode, the Chryatis won't stop until all traces of thermal energy are gone. While Chryatis is busy eliminating prey on the ground, the smaller Trilid Akrid take to the skies. Weak on their on but strong in swarms, Trilid attack in groups to overcome and confuse their opponents.
However, not all Akrid are what they appear to be. Dongo, a crawling Akrid, has an extremely hard outer shell that forms a nearly indestructible armor. It attacks by curling into a ball and rolling into or over foes at high speed, or by using its large pincers for stomping and crushing. The Undeep Akrid uses tenticles that act as a sort of radar. This allows it to pick up on the movement of Vital Suits from miles away. The most mysterious of all the Akrid, not much is known about these giant creatures.
A Worthy Arsenal
There are many types of weapons available and while some weapons are meant for use while operating on foot, others are meant for being loaded onto Vital Suits for more aggressive pushes forward. The Vital Suit weapons can also be used separately from the Vital Suit and do pack a more powerful punch, but are much heavier, bulkier, and more difficult to carry in combat.
Your standard issue rifle is a machine gun, firing 5.56mm low-caliber high-velocity rounds and allowing you to lay down fire while moving, perfect for taking down multiple Akrid in a hurry! The semi-automatic rifle, on the other hand, comes complete with a high powered scope to allow you to zoom in on your target. Shots from this weapon can even pierce thin layers of Vital Suit armor, should such a confrontation become necessary.
Hand grenades round out your basic arsenal and can be used as both a strategic and "twitch" weapon. They have a standard range and damage and are very easy to use. Due to their round shape, they bounce and ricochet easily, while shooting these hand grenades produces a larger, more powerful explosion- a key strategy in battle!

"Most people think about taking care of themselves in terms of a healthy lifestyle, diet, and exercise etc. If women really want to take care of themselves, then they need to be ready to protect themselves too. It may be unpleasant to think about the bad news we read about like crime or assault, but these incidents are realties, even in places considered to be safe. Carrying pepper spray, personal alarms or a high powered flashlight at home or out and about, are sensible things to do. Learning to incorporate self protection devices into ones daily routine, builds confidence, and may prevent personal injury or worse. RealToughCookie.com sells a variety of these products, which are of high quality and affordable too." says Schriger.
Additionally she comments, "Even though these products have negative connotations, I liken them to an insurance policy or a fire extinguisher. You have them just in case of emergency, but hopefully will never have to use them. Plus, our products are available in attractive colors and concealed as pagers, lipsticks and even jogging weights. They are a must for joggers, hikers, college students, those who live alone or are just out late at night."

Toronto, Ontario—Kandi Wood has officially put the Health & Safety industry on notice: Health & Safety eLearning is now is now faster, easier and more affordable than ever before with our new on line virtual university portal on the First Response web site.
For many companies, the challenge of maintaining Health & Safety compliance is an ongoing struggle. Scheduling employees for hours and sometimes days away from work, to complete various H & S courses can often be cost prohibitive and can lead to staffing challenges. With the advent of eLearning, the option of completing many H & S courses on line, from the comfort of your own desk at your own time, or even from home is making the issue of compliance far more attainable, affordable and doable. This virtual university is available now at http://www.FirstResponse.ca
As Wood added, “Our online virtual university has gone the Health & Safety industry one better. Where most companies in this market only offer physical in house training, our virtual on line university provides business and industry with a viable, affordable option to achieve provincial and federal H & S compliance for many of the ongoing training courses their employees are required to complete.
First Response has identified several key steps most important to companies aiming for provincial and federal compliance in the Health & Safety training field
• Simple, easy navigation of the web site
• Quality courses that are current and meet compliance standards
• User friendly interface
The complete revamped website with the online virtual university is up and running and ready to go. Health & Safety compliance can be achieved with this user friendly portal on the First Response web site at http://FirstResponse.ca

More than 250,000 deaths occur every year due to sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). In fact, SCA claims one life about every two minutes, taking more lives each year than AIDS, lung cancer or breast cancer. To decrease this heinous SCA death toll, it is important for the American public to understand what SCA is, what the signs and symptoms are, and how to respond and prevent SCA from occurring.
Part of SCA help and prevention comes from CPR/Automatic External Defibrillators training, which AHCA offers online. It's been proven that succesful use of AED can drastically enhance someone's chances of surviving an SCA. CPR, which is now celebrating its 50th year of use, has also saved countless lives through the simple application of the “hands-only” method, as well as more advanced methods using assisted breathing techniques.
AHCA's “How It Works” video is intended to provide visual aids for potential clients who wish to learn more about how CPR – and learning CPR online – works, and addresses the different learning styles different people have, by providing a live demonstration that can be replayed at will. The video can be viewed at: http://cpraedcourse.com/howitworks.
“Teaching our customers in the way they learn best is important to us,” Ms. Smith said. “The 'How It Works' video is an important step forward in demonstrating the power of online CPR classes.”
The American Health Care Academy provides online CPR certification and online first aid certification, designed with the busy adult in mind. Students, parents and others with a desire to get CPR training can take AHCA's quick and easy first aid courses and gain new CPR certification or re-certification in the comfort of their homes, on their schedule.

American Health Care Academy offers online CPR certification courses and online first aid courses. All of our courses are nationally accepted. Discounts are available for groups and organizations.

Children choke more often than adults do because, for one thing, they are more likely to put things in their mouth that are not food, and also because they have more of a tendancy to play and run around while eating, raising the chance for food to accidentally get stuck in their wind pipe. Also, childrens mouths and tongues are less developed than adults and they are not as skilled in manipulating foods in their mouths, causing them to be more likely to choke.
Some common items that children choke on include little round slices of hot dogs, balloons, hard candies, and chunks of raw fruits and vegetables. It is imperative that anyone supervising children at any time have thourough knowledge of CPR and first aid, including the Heimlich Manuever, in such the event that choking occurs.
Although it is almost entirely impossible to prevent a child from choking one hundred percent of the time, steps can be taken to lessen the chance.
- Be sure that children are sitting down quietly while eating and are not laughing or running around.
- For very young children, cut foods julienne style (into long thin strips almost like grated carrots) to lessen the chance of food becoming lodged in the wind pipe.
- Keep all hard and large pieces of candy away from young children.
- Keep all small objects that can fit through a toilet paper roll out of reach from young kids.
- Supervise children at all times.
- KNOW CPR!!!!!!!

The company, which was first established back in 1997, has recently obtained a number of new training contracts as well as winning further opportunities with its existing clients. In particular, the First Response team were thrilled to secure a second term providing training for the Houses of Parliament.
This prestigious contract has expanded considerably, as First Response was awarded a number of additional training courses and will now provide all first aid, health and safety and specialist safety training services for Parliament.
First Response celebrated successes throughout 2010. In July, they commenced a new contract to provide first aid training for Suffolk Police force, which sits comfortably alongside the contract they have held to provide similar training for Greater Manchester Police since April 2006. They have also won new business with several local authorities, including Scottish Borders Council, Trafford County Council and Warrington Borough Council.
While the training provider is pleased to be in demand nationwide, they were also thrilled to enjoy successes closer to home this year, after being named preferred provider for over 35 health and social care training courses for Worcestershire County Council in October. They also obtained a contract to provide training for Warwickshire County Council Early Years and Childcare.
The past year also saw First Response re-accredited with Investors in People status for the second time and receive extra recognition through the achievement of a Bronze Award. The company was first recognised as an Investor in People back in 2004 and, since then, they have enjoyed considerable expansion year on year. They are now working towards obtaining a Silver Award.
Chief Executive Darren Eden said: “Last year was a fantastic year for us but, although we are proud of our recent achievements, we are definitely not getting complacent. We continue to pursue further opportunities and are also developing and launching a number of new training products, as well as revamping our literature and website.
“We have grown so much in such a short space of time and are looking forward to an exciting year ahead which promises even further development.”
First Response Training & Consultancy Services Ltd is an established and expanding provider of Health & Safety services to the UK. They believe that Health & Safety is more than just legal compliance and that a properly trained workforce can add to productivity and reduce illness and downtime.

Whilst medical technology has now allowed some Defibrillators to be implanted within patients at risk of cardiac arrhythmias, the most commonly observed defibrillators are external. External defibrillators take two standard forms. Firstly manual defibrillators, these are for professional use only and common in hospital ‘crash’ units and onboard Ambulances. They are a common sight in medical television programs such as Casualty, where to ‘paddles’ are placed onto the patient’s chest and a shock applied. An example of this type of defibrillator is the Physio-Control Lifepak 15, retailed by First Aid Warehouse for £18,000 + VAT.
Defibrillators are not just available for professional use though. Some external units, known as automated external defibrillators (AEDs), automate the diagnosis of treatable rhythms, meaning that almost everyone is able to use them successfully with little or in some cases no First Aid Training at all. As a result of the diagnosis, a ‘shock’ is only delivered to patients who need to receive such treatment, it’s almost impossible to use an AED to shock a patient who did not require such treatment. The location of public access AEDs generally takes in to account where large groups of people gather, and the risk category associated with these people, to ascertain whether the risk of a sudden cardiac arrest incident is high. For example, a school is a particularly low risk category (as children very rarely enter heart rhythms such as VF (Ventricular Fibrillation) or VT (Ventricular Tachycardia), being generally young and fit. On the other hand, a cruise ship or golf club with a high ratio of males over 50 is a very high risk environment.
There are 2 types of AEDs: Fully Automated and Semi Automated. Most AEDs are semi automated. A semi automated AED automatically diagnoses heart rhythms and determines if a shock is necessary. If a shock is advised, the user must then push a button to administer the shock. A fully automated AED automatically diagnoses the heart rhythm and advises the user to stand back while the shock is automatically given. Also, some types of AEDs come with advanced features, such as a manual override or an ECG display.
In order to make them highly visible, public access AEDs often are brightly coloured, and are mounted in protective cases near the entrance of a building. When these protective cases are opened, and the defibrillator removed, some will sound a buzzer to alert nearby staff to their removal but do not necessarily summon emergency services. All trained AED operators should also know to phone for an ambulance when sending for or using an AED, as the patient will be unconscious, which always requires ambulance attendance.
Whilst training is not always needed in order for someone to properly use an AED, most local voluntary groups such as St John Ambulance, The British Red Cross and The British Heart Foundation, run free tutorials to educate the public about their use. The First Aid Training is simple and suitable for everyone, regardless of previous first aid knowledge.

Ice-Qube Preparedness Solutions is a Long Island, New York company that offers premium, easy to customize, emergency and disaster preparedness solutions and systems for individuals, families, corporations and local municipalities. The Ice-Qube product line was developed by Leslie Fastenberg, a suburban "soccer mom" from Old Westbury, NY who, while researching emergency preparedness products for her own family was inspired to develop a more comprehensive, practical and efficient kit than what was available on the market. Tapping into the international recognition of the ICE (In Case of Emergency) campaign which involves entering an ICE contact into cell phones, and packing all the products in a signature "Qube", led to the unique company and product names.

As claims are published that NHS waiting times are up, so is the demand for self diagnostics and treatment Whereas it is revealed that hospital patients are waiting on average longer for treatment than when the Labour Government first came into power, First Aid Warehouse is offering some great deals on medical equipment and accessories for home treatment.
The Telegraph recently published an article claiming that on average hospital waiting times are up despite extra spending by the Labour Government. Discussion regarding the accuracy of the report continues, but rightly or wrongly, this form of continued negative publicity for the NHS is certainly unsettling the nation.
Figures published in 2006 clearly shown an increase in the trend towards self diagnostic and treatment by consumers for minor ailments and injuries at home. Negative publicity is undoubtedly driving factor in the increase demand, but self treatment at times, has even been encouraged by the Government and industry lead initiatives in part to relieve pressure on the NHS.
With a wealth of information now available by means of the internet, advice lines and publications etcetera, it is no surprise that people are looking to these sources for diagnosis and advice rather than having to wait at accident an emergency department or for an appointment at their doctor's surgery. As well as the abundance of medical information, the increased availability of first aid kits and products, diagnostic equipment and other medical equipment also makes it much simpler for the patient consumer to treat and manage injuries and ailments by themselves at home.
Shopping online with First Aid Warehouse is a simple and secure method of purchasing essential first aid products, diagnostic equipment and other medical equipment that is delivered direct to the door. The highest quality at the lowest prices, are offered to the general public as well as medical professionals and the wider care industry.

The main focus of the 2008 RoSPA National Home Safety Congress will be the role of regulation in helping to reduce accidents in the home. But with over two million home accidents per year resulting in hospital visits, should another key area of consideration be the availability of first aid at home? Aware of the statistics and types of injuries, First Aid Warehouse have tailored a specific range of first aid products for use in domestic environments.
RoSPA are preparing for the 2888 National Home Safety Congress to be held on the 11 th and 12 th of November 2008 and the main question for the conference is; ‘Can regulation provide a solution to a reduction in home injury, or are people becoming reliant on the safety equipment now available for home use?'. It is a very fair and valid question, but given the amount of accidents that occur in the home environment, what percentage of those accidents could actually be prevented through tightened or increased regulation? Perhaps the provision of first aid at home should be further promoted, as adequate treatment has got to be the next best thing to accident prevention.
Errol Taylor, RoSPA Deputy Chief Executive, said: “The home is where people want to let go and enjoy their leisure time, but sadly it is the place where they have most accidents” . It is true that the safe haven of home is where the most accidents occur, the last statistics published identified that approximately 2.7 million domestic accidents per year resulted in a visit to accident and emergency departments for treatment.
It isn't clear how many of those injuries could have been effectively treated at home if there were adequate first aid items available, but it's likely that the numbers would be reasonably substantial. There are specific first aid kits available for use in the home and domestic environment and a good selection of these can be found at www.firstaidwarehouse.co.uk . The first aid kit selection at First Aid Warehouse is comprehensive and well considered, and includes a varied range of domestic and commercial first aid kits and other essential first aid items. As the premier supplier of medical equipment and accessories, First Aid Warehouse are able to offer high quality products at low cost prices.
