Learning CPR

The afternoon session of the training course was spent on practising CPR.

A dummy ie victim laid on the floor and Mr Toh simulated the scenario.

D-Danger
R-Response
A-Airway
B-Breathing
C-Compression

Check for any Danger eg any boys playing around the victim or any vehicles near the victim. Seek passerby's help to remove these distractions or danger.

See any Response from the victim eg patting his/her shoulder to see if he/she responded.

If there is no response, head tile chin lift to check its Airway to see if there is any choking or blackage. Remove any visible object in its mouth.

Check for any Breathing by look, listen and feel for 10 seconds.

If there is no breathing, give 2 breaths.

Start 30 Compressions and then follow by 2 breaths.

The CPR has started and can only stop when
(i) medical staff arrives,
(ii) victim resumes breathing or
(iii) first aider was exhausted.
