So last weekend, I attended a First-Aid CPR + AED course, organized by our neighborhood community club. I have attended a similar course many years ago, but there are new information and procedures over the years, so I think it would be good to go for a refresher class.
An emergency crisis can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere...without any warning and if you are trained to do CPR and learn to operate the AED device...You could save a precious life, in the nick of time!
I remember one *important note the Course Trainer said...
*First-Aiders
-You See
-You Know
-You Do
*Public
-You See
-You Don't Know
-Call Ambulance 995
When a person suddenly collapses right in front of you, it is normal to be frightened, panic and feel helpless. That is a normal human reaction but with proper knowledge and training, you will be able to stay calm, know what to do and get help.
Time is crucial during a crisis, the survival rate is higher if we step in to help instead of waiting...Sometimes, it may be too late by the time the paramedics and ambulance arrive, so it is important for everyone to know basic First-Aid, CPR+AED and react immediately, to save a life.
I Am A Certified CPR+AED First-Aider.
Overall, I think the half day First-Aid course is helpful and informative for the general public. Well, Sharing Is Caring! Therefore, I would share my thoughts and some information/links on my blog.
