I take a first aid class every year for work. It's basically a CPR class. Most of the day is focused on chest compressions, rescue breaths, and how to use a AED. At the end of the class we practice wrapping gauze pads on a partner to simulate covering a cut.
I would like to find a class that is more focused on treating injuries. Gun shots, broken bones, bad cuts, etc. I'm not a paramedic but I want to know how to help people while the paramedics are on the way. Response times to some ranges I shoot at could be a half hour or so.
Does anyone know where such a class is taught? I'm in Ohio but I'd travel if I had to. Every first aid class I have found in SE OH and in the Columbus area are CPR focused. I know how to do CPR. I want injury response training.
