The Soteria Defense NAEMT – First On The Scene “FOTS” course teaches you to treat life threatening medical conditions prior to EMS arrival.  

The average EMS and ambulance response time in California is 17 minutes, far outside a window of survivability for emergencies. National average response times are also extended and the FOTS program was developed to help people survive prior to EMS arrival. This is a “must have” program for everyone including anyone over 16 years old, parents, teachers, business owners, employees, safety and security team members, executive protection and security agents, family home offices, event staff, counselors, school staff, transportation workers, warehouse workers, and anyone who wants to learn how to save someone who might otherwise die without your help. 

This course covers: 

• Scene Safety: Knowing how to be safe and knowing when you can or can’t help.
• Activating the 911 system: Research indicates people are not calling 911 and not effectively communicating with dispatchers.
• Hands-only CPR and AED: Research indicates “hands only CPR” is highly effective, and AED’s will save your life. 
  Heart attacks are increasing significantly in men and women, learn the warning signs and know how to help. 
• Administering naloxone: The opioid crisis including illegal drugs and prescription medication overdoses can be fatal in minutes.
• Administering epinephrine: Allergic reactions leading to anaphylaxis can be fatal in 10 minutes.
• Responding to life-threatening bleeding: Severe blood loss is fatal in minutes. 
• Penetrating chest trauma: Survival times increase by immediate treatment with chest seals.
• Moving patients to safety: You CAN and SHOULD move injured people to safety and treat them safely.
• Positioning injured patients: The recovery position helps injured people.
