Course Overview
This course has been written to help its readers understand their role and responsibilities regarding basic life support in case of an emergency before professional services arrive on the scene.
It aims to enable the readers to familiarise themselves with relevant terminology, learn how to assess an incident and manage a casualty who is choking, unconscious or not breathing.
This course is not designed to act as a means by which competency in basic life support is assessed and it is recommended that this theoretical knowledge is followed by optional, practical training.
Key Topics Covered:
- Chain of survival
- Recovery position
- CPR for adults, children, and infants
- Airway obstruction (choking)
- Use of AED
- Management of unconscious casualties
Why Basic Life Support Skills Matter
Every minute counts during a cardiac arrest. Immediate CPR and defibrillation can double or eventriple a person’s chance of survival. Yet, many people feel unprepared or unsure in a real emergency.
