Abstract

An investigation of the effectiveness of an emergency-responder-based program entitled "First Five Minutes" in teaching medical students the necessary assessments and procedures upon arrival to a medical crisis situation in a timely and cost-effective manner. The "First Five" includes scene safety, primary/secondary survey, airway management, basic life support (BLS)/cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and hemorrhage control.
