Introduction to First Aid • Objectives of First Aid: • Preserve Life • Prevent the illness or Injury from becoming worse • Promote Recovery
Safety and Personal Protection • 3 types of Risk: • Energy source that causes the original Injury • Hazards from secondary or external factors • Hazard of the rescue or first aid procedures • Personal Protective Equipment • -Gloves • -Hand Washing • -Disposable Mask (for CPR)
CPR Introduction • Cardiac Arrest: When the heart stops pumping. • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) • Two Basic life support skills: • Artificial Respiration and Artificial Circulation

CPR Steps • Step 1:Survey the Scene • -Take charge of the situation • -Call out for Help to attract bystanders • -Assess hazards and make the area safe • -Find out the history of the emergency, how many casualties there are and the mechanism(s)s of injury • -Identify yourself as a first aider and offer to help • -Assess responsiveness
CPR Steps • Step 2: Primary Survey • -ABC’s (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) • -Check the Airway • -Check for Breathing • -Check for Circulation
CPR Steps • Step 3:Position the Casualty • -Place them face up (protecting the head and neck during movement) • -Make sure they are on a firm, flat surface • -Kneel so your hands can be placed mid-chest. Place hands in the center of the upper chest and your shoulders directly over your hands. Keep elbows locked.
CPR steps • Step 4: Compressions • -Give 30 compressions (Push Hard! Push Fast!) • -Press the heels of your hands straight down on the breastbone • -Depth of each compression should be at least 2 inches • -Release pressure at the top of each compression to allow the chest to return to resting position • -Compressions 100 per minute- Count them out loud to help give yourself a rhythm
CPR Steps • Step 5: Ventilations • -Open Airway (tilt the head and lift the chin) • -Breathe into the casualty twice- each breath should take about 1 second (enough air to make the chest rise) • One cycle is 30:2 (compressions to ventilations)
CPR Steps • Step 6: Continue CPR • -until the casualty begins to respond, a medical personal arrives and takes over CPR, or another first aider takes over CPR or you are too exhausted to continue
Review • Step 1: Survey the Scene • Step 2: Primary Survey • Step 3: Position the Casualty • Step 4: Compressions • Step 5: Ventilations • Step 6: Continue CPR
Stayin’ Alive • In groups find a space to practice CPR • If you need help to find a rhythm, think of the song “Stayin’ Alive” while giving compressions
