This video is basic. It covers poisons, croup, upper resporitory infections, fever, seizures, choking, diarrhea, dehydration, infant & toddler airway obstruction, and infant & toddler rescue breathing, infant and toddler cpr. Toddler is defined as over one year of age. There is video demonstrating everything that is being said - it is not a sit down lecture.

For a few of the early segments they showed children who were actually ill and you could hear what a croup cough sounds like. The video covers what signs to look for with each problem, what to do and when to call the doctor or EMS (the Emergency Medical Services).

All cpr, airway obstruction and rescue breathing segments are done on appropriate sized rescue training dolls.

Overall this is a good video, but I felt it was rather short and didn't cover that many illnesses for the cost of the video. You may want to see if your library has this before buying. Otherwise it is basically useful, especially to reinforce what you've read about these things. The visual cues may help you remember things when/if you need to use it.
