First Aid / Clinical Emergencies

Wikis > General Medicine > First Aid / Clinical Emergencies

The section on First Aid and Clinical Emergencies is divided into two sections:

One section covers the basic requirements that Podiatrists would expect to know to meet the regulatory authorities for community first aid and CPR and to be a first responder in the community. Those requirements will differ from country to country.

The other section covers in more advanced detail clinical emergencies, the physiology and mechanisms behind them and the more advanced hospital management of them, especially those that podiatrists might encounter in clinical or hospital practice:
