First Aid
The first aid course started on the 16th of April. It was a three-day course involving everything from performing CPR to preventing choking and tieing slings and bandages. It was very informative and worthwhile doing. We learned such skills as patient assessment. We learned what steps you should take as a first responder. We continued to practice our CPR skills and practiced mouth to mouth using masks. We were then educated on how to properly use a defibrillator. We also learned about hypothermia and how to treat it. The last thing we did was related to choking and performing the Heimlich maneuver. Overall I really enjoyed the course and thought it was a worthwhile experience.
