Basic First Aid and CPR Training

Basic First Aid and CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) are essential skills that everyone should have. Here’s a brief overview of what these topics generally cover:

First Aid is the immediate care given to a person who has been injured or suddenly becomes ill. It includes:

• Recognizing life-threatening situations.
• Providing initial care to stabilize the person.
• Notifying the medical professionals.

The course usually covers topics like wound care, burns, fractures, and other common injuries.

CPR is a lifesaving technique that is used when someone’s heartbeat or breathing has stopped. This can happen after a drowning, suffocation, or heart attack. The course usually covers:

• Chest compressions: This helps keep the person’s blood circulating.
• Rescue breaths: This can supply oxygen to the person’s lungs.

Please note that while this information provides a basic overview, actual First Aid and CPR procedures should be learned from certified professionals through a recognized organization. It’s also important to regularly update these skills, as guidelines may change over time.
